This causes the charge to drain away from the surface in all but the image area. • Negatively charged toner is cascaded over the surface and adheres to the positively charged image area. • A piece of plain paper is placed over the surface and given a positive charge. • The negatively charged toner is attached to the positively charged paper. • The toner image is fused to the paper by heat. - +
