4.2.3 Transfer block
This block comprises three steps, which transfers the toner image on the drum surface
onto paper.
Step 5: Primary transfer
The toner on the drum is transferred onto the ITB in this step.
A DC positive bias is applied to the primary transfer roller opposite to the drum in order
to charge the ITB positively. Then the negatively charged toner on the drum is transferred
onto the positively charged ITB. This procedure is repeated for each color (Y, M, C, Bk).
In full-color printing, as toners in four colors are piled up on the ITB, the holding force of
the toner weakens as the transfer process progresses for the 1st color, 2nd color... Therefore,
after transferring the first color, the DC positive bias is increased for each color in order to
supplement the holding force of the toner.
