**Laser Printing Process**\\
While some documentation may list the following steps in a different order, the following sequence is what CompTIA will use for the exam.

  * **Clean** - Before printing, the drum must be cleaned.
  * **Charge** - Drum is charged with a negative charge (between ~600 and ~1000 volts) to receive new images.
  * **Write** - A laser is used to write a positively charged image to the surface of the drum.
  * **Develop** - Charged image attracts toner.
  * **Transfer** - The transfer corona applies a positive charge to the paper.
  * **Fuse** - The fuser melts the toner onto the paper.
