Copiers work in the following manner:
- The master copy is placed on the glass, face down
- An intense beam of light moves across the top of the copier, and it shines across the master copy
- The light from the white surface of the page reflects onto the positively charged rotation drum, which makes the drum lose the positive charge and print onto the illuminated sections of the surface
