Which voltage is applied to the paper to transfer the toner to the paper in an EP process laser printer?
A
+600VDC
B
-600VDC
C
+6000VDC
D
-6000VDC
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Which voltage is applied to the paper to transfer the toner to the paper in an EP process laser printer? Because the toner on the drum has a slight negative charge (–100VDC), it requires a positive charge to transfer it to the paper; + 600VDC is the voltage used in an EP process laser printer.

Detailed explanation-2: -Like a photocopier, laser printers read the electronic data from your computer and beam this information onto a drum inside the printer, which builds up a pattern of static electricity. This attracts a dry powder called toner onto the paper which is then fused using heated rollers.

Detailed explanation-3: -Charge the photoconductor. Expose the photoconductor with the laser. Develop toner on the photoconductor. First transfer to the transfer module, and second transfer to the paper. Fuse the toner to the paper. Clean/Erase the photoconductor and the transfer module.
