1. PC Drum
· The drum is an aluminum cylinder coated with photosensitive material on which an electrostatic
latent image is produced.
2. Drum Charging
· A scorotron charger employing a comb electrode generates a negative DC charged
layer on the surface of the PC Drum.
3. Photoelectric Conversion Section
· The Exposure Lamp directs light onto the original. The light reflected off the original is
directed and resized by the mirrors and lens so as to produce a reduced-size image on
the CCD Sensor.
4. HGB Board
· Converts an electric signal into a corresponding 8-bit digital image signal (A/D conversion),
makes various corrections, and outputs the results to the MFB Board.
5. MFB Board
· Compresses the image data received from the HGB Board, stores it, and uncompresses
it.
6. Laser Exposure
· The laser beam emitted from the LD (laser diode) strikes the surface of the PC Drum,
creating an electrostatic latent image.
7. Development
· Negatively charged toner adheres to the latent image on the PC Drum surface, creating
a visible image.
8. Paper Feed
· Feeds sheets of paper from the appropriate paper source.
9. Image Transfer
· An Image Transfer Roller is used. A positive charge applied to the roller causes the visible
image on the surface of the PC Drum to transfer onto the front side of the paper.
10. Paper Separation
· The PC Drum Separator Fingers remove paper from the surface of the PC Drum.
11. Cleaning
· The Cleaning Blade scrapes residual toner off the surface of the PC Drum and the toner
is recycled back to the Developing Unit.
12. Erase
· The PC Drum is exposed to light, which effectively removes any residual charge from
the drum surface.
13. Fusing
· Heat and pressure applied by the Right and Left Fusing Rollers fuse toner on the paper.
14. Paper Exit
· Feeds paper out of the copier.
