Transfer block
Step 4: image transfer
The positively charged media is transferred over the photosensitive drum. As the media passes between
the transfer roller and the drum, the transfer roller applies a positively DC bias to the media. The
positively charged media attracts the negatively charged toner from the drum surface.

Step 5: separation from the drum
The elasticity of the print media causes it to separate from the drum surface. The sheet continues
travelling through the printer. The static charge eliminator reduces static discharge.
