CompTIA A+ (220-901) — Question 43

When referring to laser printing, which of the following describes the development process?

Answer options

• A. The corona wire places a static charge on the drum.
• B. Toner is pulled to the charged areas of the drum.
• C. Toner is pulled from the drum to the paper.
• D. The toner is permanently affixed to the paper.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Option B is correct because, during the development process, toner particles are attracted to the charged areas of the drum where the image is formed. Option A describes the initial charging step, not the development itself. Option C refers to the transfer step, while option D incorrectly implies that the toner is permanently fixed before the printing process is complete.
