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 Hopper
3. 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.

Who is the inventor of dot matrix 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.

What retail stores sell laser printer cartridges at a low price?
If you have an HP laser printer, I suggest you buy it directly from HP online store. I find it cheaper to get laser printer cartridges from them for my HP laser printer. If you have a different brand of laser printer, amazon is a good place to start if you're looking for a cheaper laser printer cartridge.
Can you print on vellum with a laser printer?
If the vellum is rated for a laser printer, it shouldn't be a problem. You do NOT want to use inkjet paper in a laser printer, or vice-versa.
What is a comparsion between a laser printer and a ink jet printer?
inkjet printer is less expensive but slow starting from 2500/- only.. laser printer is more expensive but fast starting from 5000/-.. inkjet is normally color printer while if we say laser printer it means it is b/w printer.. we are having color laser printer too..
