Basic process of color printing

1.This printer has a toner cartridge for each color — yellow, magenta, cyan, and black.

2.The toner image is developed with primary colors and then transferred to the transfer belt for color combination.

3.The toner image formed on the transfer belt is transferred to paper.

4.The toner is fused to the paper by the thermal fuser unit. During the fusing process, the primary colors mix, yielding the desired color.
