Canon 3260 2

B. Printing Process

A major portion of the image formation system is contained with a cartridge as shown in Figure

2-4-2.

Figure 2-4-2

This printer’s cartridge has a seamless photosensitive drum with a two-layer surface shown

in Figure 2-4-3.

The outer layer of the drum consists of an organic photoconductor (OPC) and the base is alu-

minum.

Figure 2-4-3

The printing process can be divided into five major stages.

1. Electrostatic latent image formation stage

Step 1 Primary charge (-)

Step 2 Scanning exposure

2. Developing stage

Step 3 Development

3. Transfer stage

Step 4 Transfer (+)

Step 5 Separation

4. Fixing stage

Step 6 Fixing

Step 7 Fixing roller cleaning
