Technical laser jet question

sounds like you know what you're talking about, but i would really like to know how paper holds a charge? as i understood it, wood is completely inert in terms of conductance.

static! but I am not a physicist. its a charge the toner has...it has minute amount of oxides in the toner which is lays/attracted to the paper, because the toner is laying there.
Remove the toner, BEFORE it gets to the heating assy, toner will come off.
its only a milly second from the charge to the fuser. then its baked

thats sir, Is the lesson for the day..time for a brew

ok i still want to know how paper holds a positive charge, but i'll give you best answer because you put the work in.

Best answer selected by Frizzo.

now that I re-read the question...once toner is laid on the paper, its the static charge from the corona wire, that holds the iron oxides in the toner.

a transfer roller/wire sits opposite to the drum/belt and as the paper passes over the transfer roller/wire the toner image from the drum/belt gets pulled onto the paper by the transfer roller. Then it goes through the fuser to be fused to the paper. If you google, "how a laser printer works" you should find some diagrams and things.
