Negatie and postie chagea -r in the CGL The negatie
ch~e caused in the CGL advances to the poetie charge m the
aluminiumkyer prduced at Step 4, and the positivecharge advsm
ces to the negatie charge on the drum sudace. Therefore, the
positiveand negattie charge in the aluminiumhyer ad the drum
surfacewhere exposed to Ight neutrdhe each other and the drum
surface pote~al drops. Since the charge in the CGL is pr~-
tiorrateto the density of the original,more ch~e is created in the
CGL areas exposedto more intense light.The decrease inthe drum
sutiace poterrtid is greater as more of the drum surface negative
charge .S dksipated. On the other hand, the dak image portbn
(kss intensive light prqected area on the drum surface) has less
CGL charge creatbn, so that a less drum surface potential
decrease occurs. In this way, the ebctroetatic latent im~e is
formedon the drumsurface.

Step 6: Developing
Toner is attractedover the latent image area on thedrumsufiace to

Since the drum surface potential b h~her in the da~ imqe area
