  23. What occurs during the cleaning stage in a laser printer?
    A rubber blade wipes any looser toner off the drum and a fluorescent lamp removes any electrical charge from the drum.
  24. What occurs during the conditioning stage of a laser printer?
    The primary corona prepares the OPC drum by causing it to receive a negative electrostatic charge.
  25. What occurs during the writing stage of a laser printer?
    A laser beam changes the charge on the surface of the drum in a pattern of the page's image.
  26. What occurs during the developing stage of a laser printer?
    The developing roller applies toner to the drum, the toner sticks to the charged areas of the drum.
  27. What occurs during the transferring stage of a laser printer?
    The transfer corona charges the paper to attract the toner.
  28. What occurs during the fusing stage of a laser printer?
    Fusing rollers attach the toner to the paper by pressing and melting it. As the paper leaves the printer, a static eliminator strip removes the static charge from the paper.
  29. What part shouldn't you expose to light from a laser printer?
    The OPC drum.
