Term
Describe the Cleaning/Erasing process of a laser printer.
Definition

The Electrostatic Photographic (EP) drum is cleaned

with a rubber blade. 

Term
Describe the Charging(conditioning) process for a laser printer?
Definition
The Charging(conditioning) process involves the EP Drum being given a strong negative charge of about -600 volts by the Primary Corona Wire.
Term
Describe the Writing process of a laser printer?
Definition
The Writing process involves a laser beam writing to the EP Drum giving portions of the drum a weaker negative charge.
Term
Describe the Developing process of a laser printer?
Definition
The  Developing process is completed by toner(ink) is attracted to the areas of the drum that were hit by the laser light.
Term
What does the Transferring process of a laser printer involve?
Definition

The Transferring process involves:

 

*the transfer corona wire charging the paper with a positive charge.

*Then the paper runs beneath the ep drum as the drum turns and loses its toner to the paper. 

Term
What is the Fusing process for a laser printer?
Definition
The Fusing process involves the paper running through a fusion lamp heating up to 350 degrees. the high temperature and pressure fuse the toner in to the paper.
