Most laser printer drums are coated with selenium. Selenium is a nonmetallic element with photovoltaic and photo-conductive properties that make it ideal for this use.

What is the electrophotographic drum?
Its the central part of the laser printer. The drum is a metal cylinder that is coated with a light-sensitive insulating material. When a beam of laser light strikes the drum, it becomes a conductor at the point where the light hits it. As the drum rotates, the laser beam draws an electrostatic image upon the drum, called the image. The undeveloped or latent image is passed by a supply of dry ink or toner that is attracted to it. The drum turns and brings this image in contact with the paper, which attracts the toner from the drum. The paper is passed through a fuser that is made up of hot rollers, which melts the toner into the paper.
What is a drum rim?
It is the metal part around the outside of the drum that is around the drum head.
Does the snare drum have other names?
Drums or main drums. they are the main beat source during music.
What is the name of a bass drum?
Bass drum. The bass drum in a trap set is also called the kick drum.
What is a bass drum hoop?
A bass drum hoop is the outer rim of the bass drum that sandwiches the bass drum head to the actual shell of the bass drum.
What is the purpose of an imaging drum?
An imaging drum is present in laser printers. The imaging drum receives the image sent by the laser in the printer. The drum holds the electrostatic charge to transfer the toner ink to paper.

What is A-Coating?
A-Coating, or autophoretic coating, is a process used to finish a part using a wetting agent, that has no need for an electrostatic charge to set. It is ideal for use on parts that contain hard to reach places where other finishing processes, such as electrostatic coating, may not reach.
What are the Electrostatic copiers and there types?
Image TransferAll Electrostatic Copiers work under the premis that a charge of electricity is placed on an Image Drum which has the ability to retain the electric charge much like a capacitor holds it's charge but with the ability to hold or release the charge depending on how much light and darkness is applied to the Image Drum. on analog copiers the light and darkness is reflected from the mirrors on the scan area and brought down to the drum surface creating the image that was reflected from the paper that is being scanned. On digital copiers the Image is processed (much like a desktop scanner) by processing the reflected image and converting the image into dots(DPI) then a laser will shoot a light laser image corresponding to the paper that is being scanned onto the Image drum. Image Creation Now that the Image Drum has been hit with light either from the laser or the reflecting light, it will have various charges on its surface (exacting the Image of the scanned original paper) this is called an elecrtostatic latent Image (ESLI) The Image Drum with the ESLI will now be turned till it reaches the developing unit (where toner and developer are mixed to charge the toner (yes toner has the ability to magnetize after mixed with the developer powder) Now, where the drum meets the developer roller is the magical part. Now that the toner is charged with magnetism it will adhire to the Image drum (where the dark electrostatic parts from the Paper Image came down on the Drum) making all the dark parts pull in the toner to the drum and all the light parts do not allow toner to contact the Image Drum, now this Image drum has an image with toner on it (wanna test this ? Stop a copy in the middle of copying, open the copier and pull out the drum, you will see toner on the drum with parts of the image from the original paper ) After the Image on the drum is full of toner It will be turned where the Transfer part is executed Image transferEver put metal fragments on a paper then put a magnet below the paper ? the fragments are attracted to the magnet. This is how the transfer process is done. the drum is turning with the image of toner on it the a paper is positioned below the drum and sinchronized at the same speed with the Image drum, at the point where the paper and the drum meet a high voltage is applied in order to attract the toner off the Image drum and on to the paper, now the paper is full of toner looking like the Image original paper that was scanned. Final sequence now that the Toner is on the paper (looking just like the original) two rollers with heat at about 200 Digrees F press the toner on to the paper making it permanently fused on the paper.
What happens during the writing stage of laser printer operation?
After rotating past the conditioning station, the drum has a uniform high negative charge on its surface. At the writing station, a sweeping laser beam is used to discharge this potential in selected areas by focusing laser light on selected portions of the photosensitive drum. This creates what is known as an electrostatic image. This image is later developed into a visible image. Portions of the drum not exposed to the laser still have a high negative charge. In short the laser writes the image on the drum.
What type of technology is used for a Xerox machine?
Xerography, a form of photography using electrostatic toner transfer. A photoconductive drum is first electrostatically charged, then it is exposed to the light of the image which removes the electrostatic charge only in the illuminated areas, then the toner powder is applied to the drum and sticks to the areas that are still electrostatically charged, then the toner powder is transferred off the drum to a sheet of paper by another electrostatic charge. The paper carrying the toner powder then passes through an "oven" which melts the toner bonding it to the paper.
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 powder coating line?
powder coating line is the process of coating a surface in which a powder material ia applied using an electrostatic or compressed air method,or sometimes a fluidized bed.
What causes a ghost image on a printout?
it is bcoz of there is a problem with the developing drum
What does a emulsion do on a camera?
The emulsion is the coating on a film in which the image is formed.
Which laser is used in laser printer?
Laser printing is an electrostatic digital printing process that rapidly produces high quality text and graphics by passing a laser beam over a charged drum to define a differentially charged image. It employ a xerographic printing process.
Which printers use electrostatic charge to create an image of the page onto a charged photocepter?
Laser
