The Technique of Color Printing
Color copying reproduces original images in tiny dots of C (cyan), M (magenta), Y
(yellow), and K (black). Therefore, the colors of the original image are separated
into these four colors during copying.
All image data are scanned into the machine as the four colors to match the colors
of the original image, and are developed onto the photoconductive drum by rotating
each of the four color toners in sequence for transfer onto the intermediate transfer
belt for further image reproduction processing.
The printed paper goes through a fixing unit, and is output into a tray.

Intermediate Transfer Belt
After the image data in the
four colors has been transferred
onto the intermediate transfer
belt, copying will begin and
copies with reproduced color
images are output.
The toner color changes
each time the intermediate
transfer belt rotates.
