Understanding Laser Printers

What makes laser printers a popular choice for both home and office use?

• They use liquid ink.

• They are the cheapest printers available.

• They print slowly but with high quality.

• They combine speed with high-quality output.

What happens if the imaging drum is integrated with the toner cartridge?

• It becomes harder to access the drum.

• The printer speed increases.

• The print quality decreases.

• You replace both the drum and toner when changing cartridges.

What is the primary function of the fuser assembly in a laser printer?

• To transfer toner to the paper.

• To melt the toner onto the paper making the print permanent.

• To cool down the paper after printing.

• To clean the imaging drum.

How does a color laser printer achieve a full-color print?

• By mixing all colors before printing.

• Through separate cartridges for each color, combined on a transfer belt.

• By printing each color on a separate page and combining them.

• Using a single cartridge that contains all colors.

What role does the pickup roller play in the printing process?

• It transfers the toner to the paper.

• It heats the toner.

• It ensures only one page is picked from the tray at a time.

• It applies pressure to fuse the toner.

What is duplex printing?

• Using two imaging drums.

• Printing at twice the normal speed.

• Printing on both sides of the paper.

• Printing with dual color cartridges.

How does the laser printer create the image on the photosensitive drum?

• By directly applying toner to the drum in the shape of the image.

• By using a positive charge from the laser to draw the image.

• By heating the drum to imprint the image.

• By applying a negative charge where the image will be.

What happens in the developing phase of laser printing?

• The paper is heated to prepare for toner transfer.

• The toner is melted onto the paper.

• The drum is cleaned of any residual toner.

• The toner sticks to the positively charged areas of the drum.

During which phase is the toner transferred from the drum to the paper?

• Developing phase

• Transferring phase

• Fusing phase

• Charging phase

What is the purpose of the cleaning phase in the laser printing process?

• To prepare the paper for printing.

• To ensure the toner cartridges are full.

• To remove excess toner from the imaging drum.

• To clean the fuser assembly.
