Image Formation System
Laser printing requires the interaction of several different technologies (such as electronics, optics, and electrophotographics) to provide a printed page. Each process functions independently and must be coordinated with the other printer processes. Image formation consists of six processes:
∙Step 1. Drum Cleaning
∙Step 2. Drum Conditioning
∙Step 3. Image Writing
∙Step 4. Image Developing
∙Step 5. Image Transferring
∙Step 6. Image Fusing
