Paper toner for a laser printer?

how does it workPaper toner for a laser printer?
Blizz is close but not quite





A Light sensitive drum is selectrically charged, and areas discharged with a laser beam (hence laser printer)


toner is then applied and adheres to areas not discharged.


As drum turns, toner is transferred either to the paper via a further charging system (for black only printing) or to an intermediate belt unit (in colour machines, and these also now have 4 drums and lasers, or 1 laser and drum, plus 4 toners in a carrousel assembly)


This combined colour image is then transferred to the paper as per above.





The paper then gets passed through the ';Fuser'; that in simple terms melts the toner powder to the page.





Paper toner for a laser printer?
Are you asking how a laser printer works?


How it gets the toner on to the paper?





Basics:


Paper is pulled into the printer and is given a charge, the toner is then released onto the paper with the opposite charge and they attract one another. Then it goes through a heating element to adhere the toner to the paper.
