General Laser Printer Technology The operation of a laser printer is somewhat different than that of an impact printer. They produce an entire page at once, compared to line printers, which produce complete character lines. NOTE: If the software application fails to give a form feed at the end of the data, and the data does not exceed the selected lines per page setting, the page will not print. Rather, it will remain in memory. The laser printer has two basic functional parts: the engine and th

5. Transferring: Another thin wire electrode, the transfer corona, puts a high electrostatic charge on the paper. This charge attracts the toner, transferring the toner from the OPC drum to the paper. 6. Fusing: Heat and pressure rollers fuse the transferred image to the paper. 7. Cleaning: As the OPC drum continues to turn, erase lamps remove all residual electrostatic charge from the OPC. The cleaning unit then removes unused toner from the OPC.
