COPYING PROCESS 3 - 8
(9) Discharge
This process electrically discharges any re-
sidual electrostatic charge left on the surface
of the drum.
If not removed, an uneven charge is placed on
the drum surface that will affect the print qual-
ity of the next copy. Double imaging will occur.
Method: A discharge LED array illuminates the
entire surface of the drum.
The drum becomes a conductor and all residual
charges will be grounded.
All electrostatic charges are removed at this
time.
The drum therefore is prepared to take on a
new charge.
