Explanation
The laser printer imaging process follows these phases in order: Cleaning → Charging → Writing/Exposing → Developing → Transferring → Fusing. During the Charging phase, the drum receives a uniform negative charge. During the Writing/Exposing phase, the laser neutralizes the charge in areas that should be printed, creating an invisible 'latent image.' During the Developing phase, toner particles (which carry a charge) are attracted to the discharged areas of the drum, making the latent image visible with toner. During the Transferring phase, the toner is moved from the drum to the paper. Therefore, the latent image is exposed to toner during the Developing phase.
