The machine uses an indirect electrostatic method, and is constructed as shown below
Cleaning blade
Static
eliminator
Transfer charging
roller
The machine's image formation processes can be divided into the following 5 blocks (7steps):
4. Fixing block
3. Transfer block
Multifeeder
[1] Latent Image Formation Block
Step 1 primary charging (AC + negative DC)
Step 2 laser beam exposure
[2] Developing Block
Step 3 development (AC + negative DC bias)
[3] Transfer Block
Step 4 transfer (positive DC)
Step 5 separation (grounding)
[4] Fixing Block
Step 6 fixing
[5] Drum Cleaning Block
