A Laser printer uses a drum and toner. A laser negatively charges the drum (a big rotating tube) at certain points, making a mirror copy of the item to be printed. The drum rotates past a toner cartridge, in which are positively charged particles of toner. The positively charged toner is attracted to the negatively charged parts of the drum, and leaves the neutral space in between blank. The drum then presses onto a sheet of paper, transferring the image. A quick heat of the paper seals in the toner (That's why the paper is always warm when it comes out of the printer), and there you go, an image!

Which type of printer uses toner?
Laser printers use a drum and toner in the printing process.
In the laser printing process what determines when the toner sticks to the drum and when it does not stick tothe drum?
During the writing phase, the uniform high charge is discharged only in the places where toner is meant to stick to the drum. This is how the laser printing process that determines when the toner sticks to the drum.
What printers use drum and tone printing process?
Laser printers use a drum and toner.
Which phase of the laser printing process applies the toner to the latent image on the drum?
It is during the developing phase of the laser printing process that toner is applied to the latent image on the drum. The toner is a negatively charged mixture of plastic and metal particles.
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).
What is usually caused by a problem with the image drum or toner cartridge on a printer?
After prolonged printer use, it always happens. The image drum and toner printer are the components of the printer that rely on perfect combination of toner and heat to fuse the toner permanently over the surface of paper. if both of them are overused, they can lead to ghost images, strikes, misprinted areas and other sorts of printing problems.
Toner for Printer: How It Works?
Toner for a printer is supplied in a toner cartridge. It is generally made of plastic and pigment, supplied with an electrical charge, which is essential to its function. When printing, the drum starts off with a positive charge, and then the printer uses a beam to discharge various spots on the surface of the drum, which creates an electrostatic image onto the surface. Finally, the toner coats the surface of the drum, and the paper picks up the image.

What is a drum in a laser printer?
The printing process takes place when the photo-sensitive roller of the drum unit attracts the toner. From here the toner transfers to the paper and with some heat it binds over the paper. Over the time, the drum unit becomes dirty with the passage of time due to the accumulated dirt and dust over it. Replacement is the only choice as the drum unit is also a consumable part of the printer and over the time, it should be replaced with a new one to maintain the optimal print quality. Most of the advanced printers give a warning when it is the time to change the drum unit.
