Canon NPG-52 Technical Drum info

For a Canon imaging drum to transfer the text and toner to the page, it first receives a positive charge from the corona wire. A laser writes over the drum and leaves a negative charge where the text and/or images will appear. Next, the paper is fed by the pickup rollers and receives a stronger negative charge that pulls the toner from the cartridge to the drum onto the paper. When the toner hits the drum, it sticks to the oppositely charged areas to create text and images.

Because the laser writes on the drum for each print, the imaging unit goes through wear and tear over time and needs to be replaced after a certain amount of pages and prints. Near replacement time, the imaging drum unit begins to show signs of wear and tiredness in print. If your imaging drum is letting you know it’s time for a new drum unit, you may than experience black spots and/or lines on the pages and images will be lighter than normal.
