How does a thermal printer work?

• Special thermal paper reacts in the spots that come in contact with heated pins within the heating element

• The image of the page is embedded with a laser on a drum, then the toner powder is electromagnetically transferred to the page, and finally sealed to the page after going through the heated fuser

• Liquid ink is sprayed in the appropriate locations on the page

• Solid material, like plastic, is heated in an extruder to the point of melting and then layered on the print bed until the object is complete

What setting controls whether my print output is in landscape or portrait?

• Grayscale

• Paper Source

• Page Orientation

• Page Size

What does "paper handling" mean?

• Output tray capacity

• the sizes and types of paper media that can be loaded into a printer

• Pages per minute (PPM)

• Input tray capacity

What does "input tray capacity" refer to?

• Quantity of paper that can be loaded in a tray

• Quality of paper that can be loaded in a tray

• The number of pages the printer can print before the output gets jammed

How does a 3D printer work?

• Special thermal paper reacts in the spots that come in contact with heated pins within the heating element

• The image of the page is embedded with a laser on a drum, then the toner powder is electromagnetically transferred to the page, and finally sealed to the page after going through the heated fuser

• Liquid ink is sprayed in the appropriate locations on the page

• Solid material, like plastic, is heated in an extruder to the point of melting and then layered on the print bed until the object is complete

What does a "duplex unit" do?

• Allows two pages to be printed simultaneously

• Flips over a page to be printed on both sides automatically

• Forces the user to flip over each page manually to print on the reverse side

• Staples packets together

How can we tell if a printer is having connectivity issues?

• Printouts are garbled

• Print quality is decreased

• Multiple documents queued, but nothing printing
