In laser printer technology, what happens during the conditioning stage?

A. The corona wire places a uniform positive charge on the paper

B. A uniform negative charge is placed on the photosensitive drum

C. A uniform negative charge is placed on the toner

D. All of the above

E. None of the above

Answer: Option A

Solution(By Examveda Team)

In laser printer technology, during the conditioning stage, a uniform negative charge is placed on the photosensitive drum.
The photosensitive drum is a key component in laser printing, where the image to be printed is formed.
During the conditioning stage, the drum is uniformly charged to prepare it for the subsequent steps of the printing process.
The corona wire is typically responsible for charging the drum negatively.
A uniform positive charge is not placed on the paper or the toner during the conditioning stage.
Therefore, the correct option is a uniform negative charge is placed on the photosensitive drum.

    Conditioning is the next step in the laser printing process once the drum has been properly cleaned and defused. Conditioning the drum involves applying a negative charge to it. In addition to the drum, a negative charge is also applied to the paper as it passes through the corona wire or transfer roller.
