Stage 4: Transfer
This stage consists of four steps: grip, attraction, transfer, and separa-
tion. This stage is where the toner image is mapped from the photosen-
sitive drum onto the paper.
Step 5:
Grip
When the paper reaches the transfer drum, its leading edge is retained
by the gripper so that the paper is retained on the transfer drum
surface. Since the leading edge of the paper is retained by the gripper,
approximately 8 mm of the leading edge cannot be imaged.
Example: The leading edge of the paper is gripped in frame 55 of the
animation.
