Step 4 (Transfer)
The transfer paper is charged higher than the OPC drum surface
potential by strong negative discharge of the transfer charger, making
the binding force between the transfer paper and toner stronger than
that between the drum and toner, attracting toner to the transfer
paper.

Step 5 (Separation)
After transfer, the copy paper and the drum are negatively charged.
Since, however, the negative potential of the copy paper is higher
than that of the drum, a attraction force is applied between the drum
and the copy paper. To avoid this, AC corona is applied to the copy
paper by the separation charger to decrease the copy paper potential
to the same level as the drum surface potential. The attraction be-
tween the copy paper and the drum is weakened by this, allowing
separation of the copy paper by its own extending force. If the copy
paper is not separated by the separation charger, it is separated by
the separation pawl mechanically.
