Image formation system
The image-formation system creates the printed image on the paper. The system consists of the following
components:
●
Toner cartridge
●
Transfer roller
●
Fuser
●
Laser/scanner
●
High-voltage power supply
The DC Controller controls the internal components of the image formation system (according to commands
received from the formatter) to form the toner image on the photosensitive drum surface. The toner image is
then transferred to the print media and fused.
