In laser technology, what happens during the transfer stage? A. Residual toner is transferred to the waste receptacle B. The laser transfers the image from the drum to the paper. C. The image is transferred from the drum to the paper D. A negative charge is transferred to the surface of the drum E. None of the above

The correct answer is: B. The laser transfers the image from the drum to the paper.

During the transfer stage, the laser beam is used to create an electrostatic charge on the surface of the drum. The areas of the drum that are exposed to the laser beam become positively charged, while the areas that are not exposed to the laser beam remain negatively charged. The toner, which is a negatively charged powder, is then attracted to the positively charged areas of the drum. The paper is then rolled over the drum, and the toner is transferred from the drum to the paper.

Option A is incorrect because residual toner is transferred to the waste receptacle during the cleaning stage.

Option C is incorrect because the image is transferred from the drum to the paper during the transfer stage.

Option D is incorrect because a negative charge is transferred to the surface of the drum during the charging stage.

Option E is incorrect because the laser transfers the image from the drum to the paper during the transfer stage.
