Transfer stage
Step 4: The transfer charging roller, to which a DC positive bias is applied, imparts a positive charge
on the paper. When the paper comes in contact with the photosensitive drum, the toner is transferred
to the paper.

Step 5: The elasticity of the paper causes its separation from the photosensitive drum. A static charge
eliminator aids separation by weakening any electrostatic adhesion.
