Product Technical Overview
Launch Issue
Drum Cartridge (Develop)
Toner is supplied from the drum cartridge housing to the photoreceptor drum by the supply
augers and the developer roll. The rotation of the augers mixes the toner and carrier, producing
a negative charge on the toner.
The developer roll has a magnetic core which causes a brush to form at its surface. The height
of the brush is controlled by the trimmer blade. The brush contacts the photoreceptor drum and
the toner is attracted to the latent image formed by exposure to the LPH, that is, to the areas
that have a reduced negative charge.
A developer bias voltage that is applied to the developer roll controls the development process
and gives cleaner background areas. The developer bias voltage is modified based on the
user's selections on the UI. Darker images require a greater amount of negative charge to be
applied than lighter images. Refer to Figure 13 and Figure 14.
