Image Formation System ■ Print Process

This explains the basic process of the operations that a printer executes for image formation.
Overview/Configuration The print process of this equipment is divided largely into 5 blocks, 7 steps.
Toner images are formed on papers by executing the steps of each block in order.
■ Overview The following are the blocks of print process and the steps.
The image formation system is the core of this equipment; it forms toner images on papers.
The image formation system is comprised of the following components. 1. Static latent image formation block
The engine controller controls the laser scanner unit and high-voltage power supply circuit Step 1: Primary charging
and forms images based on the video signals on papers. Step 2: Laser beam exposure
