It remains negatively charged when it doesn’t expose to any light while the toner is vice versa. The drum will rotate and carries electrical shadow to the toner. The paper will move along on the conveyor belt and it will carry the positive particle. When the paper wants to come out, it will pass the hot roller and it functioned to fuse the toner particle.
