2-1-2 Electrophotographic system
Electrophotography is the technology used in laser printing which transfer data representing texts or graphics objects
into a visible image which is developed on the photosensitive drum, finally fusing on paper, using light beam generated
by a laser diode.
This section provides technical details on the printer’s electrophotography system.
(1) Electrophotographic cycle
The electrophotography system of the printer performs a cyclic action made of six steps as follows. Each step is
technically explained in the following sections.
Process unit
Laser scanner unit
Main charging
Exposure
Cleaning
Drum
Developing
Transfer
Fusing
Fuser unit
Figure 2-1-6 Electrophotographic cycle
The sections for main charging, exposure (drum), developing, and cleaning are modularized in one process unit.
