Yes it does. This is part of the fundamental process that takes the toner powder and adheres it to the paper. Basically the printer uses positive and negative charges to transfer the toner onto the paper and then uses heat and pressure to make it stick.

What is the purpose of an imaging drum?

An imaging drum is present in laser printers. The imaging drum receives the image sent by the laser in the printer. The drum holds the electrostatic charge to transfer the toner ink to paper.


Printers use a drum and toner in the printing process?

Certain printers do, yes. These types of printers are called Laser Printers. The other type, which uses nozzles and ink cartridges, is called an Ink jet Printer. The drum on a laser printer might not be the kind you're thinking of. It's actually just a big rotating tube that transfers the toner from the toner cartridge to the paper. The toner is particles that have a positive charge, and are attracted to the drum where there is a negative charge (The drum is negatively charged by a laser, thus the name Laser Printer).


Why called laser printers?

The HP Laser Printer is a printer produced by HP. It uses laser technology to work more efficiently than the previous prototypes. Because of this new technology, the printer is best used to mass-produce papers. There are also subdivisions of the HP Laser Printers, which are: HP Laser Jet 4000, HP Laser Jet 4050, and HP Laser Jet 4250.


Functions of laser printer?

The first step in creating a laser printout, is for the printer to remove any toner from the drum from a previous print. The printer than conditions the drum by removing any latent images. A new image is then inscribed onto the drum using the laser to charge parts of the drum. Toner is applied to the drum, and the image is transferred to paper. Finally the toner is fused to the paper through heat and pressure.


Can the drum on a laser printer be repaired?

yes it can


What is the main purpose of a laser printer charge corona?

When an electrical charge is placed on the drum repels the toner particles that have the same charge. The laser then discharges the drum in specific places, causing toner to stick just to the discharged places on the drum. The toner is then transferred to the paper and the paper is heated to fuse the toner to the paper.

What should you never touch on a laser printer?

What happens during the writing stage of laser printer operation?

After rotating past the conditioning station, the drum has a uniform high negative charge on its surface. At the writing station, a sweeping laser beam is used to discharge this potential in selected areas by focusing laser light on selected portions of the photosensitive drum. This creates what is known as an electrostatic image. This image is later developed into a visible image. Portions of the drum not exposed to the laser still have a high negative charge. In short the laser writes the image on the drum.


In what ratio does a laser printer use the Cyan Magenta Yellow Black toner?

we dont have ink cartredge in laser printer.. laser printer uses toner or drum.. it normally gives 500-600 paper in one toner however depending upon the size of toner or drum..


What exactly does laser toner cartridges mean?

Laser toner cartridges are simply the 'ink' that a laser printer uses to write. They uses a type of dry ink particle that is picked by the drum through a static charge imprinted by the laser and then stuck onto the paper.
