(5) Development
• “Developing” is the process of converting the
electrostatic latent image to an image vis-
ible to the human eye.
The developing agent is fed to the surface of the photosensitive drum by the magnetic rollers, and
impressed on the rollers. Toner in the developer agent attaches to areas on the photosensitive drum
having a potential lower than the developer bias (reverse developing method).
• Switching of developing bias polarity
Fogging is reduced by switching the bias of negative voltage charged areas to positive
polarity (approx. +150V).
• About Developing Agent
Toner and carrier are mixed. The toner is
charged to minus polarity, and the carrier is
charged to plus polarity by friction caused
by stirring.
Toner:
Comprises plastic and Magnetite.
Carrier: Ferrite
