What is the different between an inkjet printer and a laser jet printer?
The difference between an inkjet printer and a laser jet printer is that inkjets use liquid ink and laser jets use toner cartridge and heated fusers. Inkjets can print in color and laser jets can't.
What is the difference between a thermal printer and a laser printer?
Thermal printers require special heat sensitive paper. Laser printers apply a powder to regular paper that is sealed on by a heating element.
What are the example of liquid laser?
tunable-dye laser
Which voltage is applied to the paper to transfer the toner to the paper in an ep process laser printer?
-600vdc
How fast is the laser printer?
There isn't just one type of laser printer, it also depends what quality you want the thing being printed out to be. I have two laser printers and one spits them right out in just a few seconds while the other takes probably 15 seconds just to print one worded page. Point is: speed varies
How is a facsimile reproduced by a laser printer?
using the concept of static electricity, which allows electricity to stick to a device inside the printer called the drum, which in turn creates electrostatic images
Can you make tile murals using a laser printer?
Unfortunately, not with a traditional laser printer. This is mainly because a traditional laser printer relies on static electricity to hold paper and toner. Tiles aren't very conductive, and it would be extremely difficult to use a laser printer to print on them. -Brett
Can an inkjet laser be replaced?
An inkjet printer can be replaced with new ink cartridges. As for a laser printer it doesn't require any ink since it uses static electricity to melt the powdered ink also known as toner. So you wont have to change the cartridge.
Does a printer cause static charge?
Depend on type of Printer. A laser, LED or electrostatic printer, YES. Dot matrix or Thermal Printer, No.
What is the result of a broken static eliminator strip in a laser printer?
What will happen if your static-eliminator strip is broken, is it will stick to the photo-sensitive drum and be pulled back into the printer. If the paper comes out looking like an accordion then it will most likely be that the static-eliminator is not pulling the charge from the paper.
What is used to drain the charge in the paper when printing with a laser printer?
The static-charge eliminator strip or roller.
Does laser printer need ink cartridge?
Laser printers do not use ink, instead static electricity is used to attract ultra-fine powdered plastic "toner" to a special drum and subsequently to the paper where it is heat fused, making the image that is printed. It uses a Toner Cartridge
What is a laser printer?
A high speed printing device that primarily uses a laser and static electricity for attaching toner to paper. I believe it should really be called the static electricity printer! You see; the primary principle at work in this machine is static electricity. The laser inside the printer never really touches the paper.The LASER printer really has four basic parts that are most important.1. The laser Unit (with mirror)2. The Toner Hopper3. The Drum Assembly (with 3 additional parts)4. And the Fuser assembly.How a laser printer is working:1. Whenever the printer gets its information, the printers' circuit board then takes that information and converts it into a code. Like Morse code.2. The laser prints it to a negative (statically) charged rotating drum.3. when the laser pulses light on the drum it creates a small DOT of neutral electricity.4. the drum or (toner hopper) charges the toner powder to a negative charge as well.5. when the toner is pushed through the drum the toner is sucked into the Neutral spaces left by the laser. Creating an image.6. paper is Positively charged. and pushed through the drum. The toner is statically bonded to the paper. Like a magnet, it sticks together.7. the fuser assembly heats up 300+ degrees and fuses the toner to the paper.Different from inkjet printers using ink, laser printers use toner as printing materials.Ink cartridges are usually cheaper than toner cartridges. However, toner cartridge has the lower cost per page than inkjet does.
What is a static eliminator strip on a laser printer?
The static eliminator strip is a long bar located near the end of the paper track that removes the intense static cling generated for use in the printing process.
Who invented laser printer?
First developed at Xerox PARC by Gary Starkweather and released in 1971, a laser printer is a type of printer that utilizes laser technology to print images on the paper. Laser printers are often used in corporate, school, and other environments that require print jobs to be completed quickly and in large quantities. To the right is an example of what a laser printer may look like. This picture is of the Lexmark C782n laser printer. Finally, below is a chart of the steps a laser printer takes to print.
Are thermal printer and laser printer non impact?
A thermal printer and a laser printer are non-impact printers. A dot matrix, that fires pins against an inked roller, and uses a tractor roller to feed continuous paper through the printer, is an example of an impact 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.
