This chapter provides explanation on the basic Xerographic process of the engine by referring to the
items of the Detailed settings.
Overview
1. Photoconductor unit
2. Development roller
3. Laser unit
4. Charger unit
5. Intermediate transfer belt
6. Fuser unit
7. Paper transfer
The printing process consists of the following steps:
Photoconductor unit charge Laser exposure Development Transfer Fusing
• Photoconductor unit charge …… The charger unit [4] gives an equal charge across the surface of
the Photoconductor unit [1].
• Laser exposure …… Laser unit [3] creates an electrostatic latent image on the Photoconductor unit
[1].
