Question
When referring to laser printing, which of the following describes the development process?
Options
- AThe corona wire places a static charge on the drum.
- BToner is pulled to the charged areas of the drum.
- CToner is pulled from the drum to the paper.
- DThe toner is permanently affixed to the paper.
Explanation
The development stage of laser printing is when toner particles are electrostatically attracted to the latent image areas on the photosensitive drum.
Common mistakes.
- A. The corona wire applying a static charge to the drum describes the charging stage, which is the second step in the laser printing process, not development.
- C. Toner being pulled from the drum to the paper describes the transfer stage, which occurs after development.
- D. Toner being permanently affixed to the paper describes the fusing stage, the final step where heat and pressure bond toner to the page.
