A laserjet printer has many internal parts. I will briefly go over how a laserjet printer works and the basic parts.
Basic parts of a laserjet printer:
1. laser unit - beams an electrostatic image onto the drum
2. drum (OPC) - rolls the image onto the paper
3. toner/ cartridge - toner is used to create the image
4. fuser assembly - heats and presses the toner onto the page
1. The printer puts a negative charge on the paper.
3. The printer's laser spreads a negative electrostatic image onto a positively charged drum (reversing the polarity only where the image is)
2. The drum roller with the negatively charged image rolls over the positively charged toner, picking the toner on the image only (opposites attract).
3. The paper is then feed to the fuser unit where hot rollers heat up the paper and press the toner onto the paper. Since the toner is partly made up of plastic, the plastic melts and gets pressed to the paper making it adhere permanently.
4. The finished product is rolled out.

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.
