An electrophotographic printer that is based on the technology used by photocopiers. A focused laser beam and a rotating mirror are used to draw an image of the desired page on a photosensitive drum. This image is converted on the drum into an electrostatic charge, which attracts and holds toner. A piece of electrostatically charged paper is rolled against the drum, which pulls the toner away from the drum and onto the paper. Heat is then applied to fuse the toner to the paper. Finally, the electrical charge is removed from the drum, and the excess toner is collected. By omitting the final step and repeating only the toner-application and paper-handling steps, the printer can make multiple copies. The only serious drawback of a laser printer is that it offers less paper-handling flexibility than do dot-matrix printers. Both multipart forms and wide-carriage printing, for example, are better handled by line printers or dot-matrix printers.

A printer that produces high quality images using a method similar to that of a photo copying machine. (WP, Gr. 3)

Laser printers are high quality printers that reproduce images using laser technology and larger, powder-filled cartridges.

A high-resolution non-impact printer that uses a variation of the electrophotographic process used in photocopying machines to print text and graphics onto paper. A laser printer uses a rotating disc to reflect laser beams onto a photosensitive drum, where the image of the page is converted into an electrostatic charge that attracts and holds the toner. A piece of charged paper is then rolled against the drum to transfer the image, and heat is applied to fuse the toner and paper together to create the final image.

A printer which uses laser technology to transfer data to paper, similar to a photo-copier, except that instead of copying an existing image, the image is transmitted from your computer.

A non-impact output device that burns images on paper using toner and a small laser.

A type of printer that utilizes a laser beam to produce an image on a drum. Laser printers produce very high-quality print and are very adept at printing graphics. Because laser printers are nonimpact printers, they are much quieter than dot-matrix printers. They are also relatively fast, printing from about 4 to 20 pages of text per minute (ppm).

output: A great leap forward in printing technology that allows us civilians to produce high-quality graphics that look like they were done by professional printers. The output of a laser printer is a page whose image is composed of extremely small, evenly spaced dots of ink at resolution of 300 dpi (600 dpi is now available). It may have come from the marriage of a dot-matrix printer and a photocopier, but really it's a thing unto itself. The laser beam electrically "etches" the image upon a statically charged drum which then picks up charged powdered ink. The ink is then handed off to the paper and made permanent by a hot roller. Amazing.

More complex than common printers, they are capable of printing high-quality graphics and text. Works similar to a copy machine.

Although a number of devices employ laser technology to print images, this normally refers to black-and-white desktop printers, which use the dry toner, xerographic printing process.

A standard printer with a rotating drum, the surface of which conducts electricity when it comes into contact with light. The surface of the drum is first electrically charged, a beam of laser light then records the printing information on the drum line by line by means of a rotating mirror wheel. When light comes into contact with the surface of the drum, it is discharged. The toner which is then applied only adheres to the places that are not illuminated. When transferred onto the paper and fixed in place using heat, the toner produces the print image required.

A high quality image printing system using a laser beam to produce an image on a photosensitive drum. The image is transferred on to paper by a conventional xerographic printing process. Laser printers range between 300dpi to 600dpi and with interpolation to 1,200dpi. It works by heating up toner to the pattern of the document in the printer's memory; and then fusing the toner onto paper.

A laser printer uses the same printing technology used an office copier, except a beam of laser light under computer control is moved to draw an image on a charged photosensitive drum or belt. Where the light hits, the charge is destroyed. Small carbon particles called toner are applied to the drum or belt, and they stick to the areas that still are charged. This toner image is then transferred to paper and fused to the paper by heat or pressure.

a high-resolution printer for computer output that xerographically prints an image formed by a laser.

An electro-photographic printer based on the technology used by photocopiers.

Printer that produces very high quality text and graphics using a laser beam. The beam draws the characters as tiny dots- normally 300 or 600 dots per inch- on to a special drum. The drum then attracts a fine black powder (called toner) to these dots which is transferred to a sheet of paper. The final stage is to heat the toner which melts it on the paper forming a permanent image. Laser printers are more expensive than almost any other type of printer, but are generally faster and excellent quality. Other types of printer include inkjet and dot-matrix

A type of printer, that when powdered toner ink is passed close to the paper a beam of laser light excites the toner onto the surface of the paper. The paper is then passed through a heating roller to bond the toner onto the paper surface. If the paper is not passed through the heating roller, the powdered toner will detach itself easily from the paper.

A printer that uses a laser beam to project characters and graphics onto a drum, which then electrographically transfers the image onto paper. Laser printers are known for their high quality reproduction and printing speed.

A Laser Printer is a device that allows the dry writing technique to be applied in a much more precise manner. The electrostatic image is created by high energy beams of light (lasers) being directed at the assembly drum, reversing the charge. The negative areas then attract toner, which carries a positive charge, before it is applied to paper. The paper is then subjected to high heat, allowing the laser toner to melt into the paper. Laser printers are known for their high speed and accuracy.

A printer than uses a method of fusing toner or powder onto the paper surface. Also used in all office photocopier machines.

Speeds range from 4 to more than 200 pages per minute.
