3400-48x Theory of operation POR sequence As the printer turns on, the engine code goes through a series of tests to verify hardware integrity. If a hardware failure is detected, then it is reported to the printer. If the POR sequence cannot be completed successfully, then the printer may post an error message.

3400-48x Transfer Charge roller Transfer roller Paper The transfer roller applies a positive charge to the paper, which is pressed between the transfer roller and the photoconductor drum. Due to relative opposite polarities between the paper from the transfer roller, and the photoconductor drum from the charge roller, the charge attracts the toner to the paper.
