LASER PRINTING
HOW TO USE A LASER PRINTERPART 1
A laser printer is a type of digital printing which prints writing and pictures in quick succession with a decent quality.
The drum is given a charge by something called a corona wire,
When the drum moves the printer begins to shine and create a tiny laser beam on the surface to get rid of certain points on the paper.

The drum then prints the image onto paper by direct contact and heat, which fuses the ink to the paper.
