Laser printers work by placing toner on an elecrically charged rotating drum and then depositing the toner on paper as the paper moves through the system at the same speed as the drum is turning. The negatively charged toner is more negative than the -100 V charge on the drum surface but less negative than the -600 V. The toner is attracted to the -100 V area of the drum because the -100 is more positive than the toner is; the toner is repelled from the -600 V part of the drum because it is more negative than the toner is.
The electric charge at each point on the drum surface. This in turn is determined by the amount of light received by each point on the drum. The process begins by charging the entire drum surface. The image to be copied is then projected onto the drum.

During the laser printing process what determines when the toner sticks to the drum and when it does not?

Electric charge! The drum is coated with a photo-conductive layer, whose electrical resistance changes when exposed to light. In the old days this was based on selenium, but nowadays it uses an organic plastic compound. First the drum is electrically charged using a 'corona wire' - a very fine wire grid at high voltage. Then a laser (or, these days, an LED array) is used to expose the 'white' areas, causing electric charge to leach away in those areas. Next toner (which is itself tumbled to build up an electric charge) is brushed over the drum, so that it sticks only to the electrically charged ('black') areas on the drum. It's then a simple matter to get the toner off the drum and onto the paper. Finally the drum is cleaned with a brush and/or wiper blade, and electrically discharged using a 'quench' lamp before the whole process starts again.

Paper sticks on the blanket during printing?

To prevent paper from sticking on the blanket during printing, make sure the blanket is clean and free of debris. Adjust the blanket pressure and temperature settings according to the manufacturer's recommendations. Using anti-static sprays or powders can also help reduce sticking.

Value of ten dollar bill with no printing on back?

== == This is considered to be a major printing error. It can occur when a sheet of bills sticks to the paper underneath so that two sheets go through the press together, and only one side of each is printed. Generally major printing errors of this sort can go for $100 to $500 at auction. Note that bills are printed by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing which has nothing to do with the U.S. Mint. The Mint only makes coins.
