(5) Development
Development is the process of making the elec-
trostatic latent images visible to the eye (visible
images).
Developer material is supplied to the photocon-
ductive drum surface by the magnetic roller.
The toner in the developer material adheres to
the areas on the drum surface where the poten-
tial is lower than the developer bias which is
applied to the magnetic roller (reverse develop-
ment method).
