Laser Printer – How it Prints?
6 Steps
 Cleaning – EP drum is cleaned for any residual toner
 Conditioning – uniform negative charge of -600v is placed
on the EP drum by the primary or charge corona
 Writing- Laser writes to EP drum discharging those areas to
-100v
 Developing – negatively charged toner is attracted to the
areas on the EP drum that were written to by laser
 Transferring – Transfer Corona positively charges the
paper, which then lifts the image from the EP drum on to the paper.
 Fusing- Toner is bonded to the paper through the combination
of heat and pressure.
