APPARATUS FOR TRANSFERRING A DEVELOPED IMAGE FROM A PHOTOSENSITIVE MEMBER TO A RECEIVER

摘要

Apparatus is provided for transferring a developed toner image from a photoconductor to a receiver by a method which includes applying to the receiver a bias voltage opposite in polarity to the charge on the developed toner image. The toned photoconductor is precharged to the same polarity as the developed toner image to assure a maximum charge on the toner particles forming the image prior to their contact with the receiver and then flooded with light prior to and/or during the transfer to reduce the forces of attraction between the toner particles and the photoconductor.
