Laser printer

What type of charge is applied to the toner particles?

• Positive

• Neutral

• Negative

• No charge is applied

What happens to the toner that sticks to the drum?

• It is transferred to the paper with assistance from the transfer roller

• It is removed by the fuser unit

• It is melted by the laser beam

• It is transferred directly to the paper

Which of the following is a benefit of laser printers?

• Has a cool name

• Smaller size

• Sharp text quality

• Lower initial cost

Which of the following is a drawback of laser printers?

• Slower printing

• Increased energy consumption

• High maintenance

• More toner wasted

What helps transfer the toner from the drum to the paper?

• The fuser unit

• The positively charged transfer roller

• The mirrors

• The laser beam

What happens to the drum where the laser strikes?

• It becomes more negatively charged

• Its charge becomes neutralised

• It heats up the drum

• It transfers toner to the drum

Why does the paper receive a positive charge during the printing process?

• To attract toner particles from the drum

• To activate the laser beam

• To neutralise the charge on the drum

• To ensure the paper passes smoothly through the printer

Imagine the fuser unit stopped working mid-print. What would be the result?

• The toner wouldn’t transfer to the paper

• The paper would come out with loose toner that smudges easily

• Output would be normal

• The printer would overheat

What are the advantages of laser printers?

• Slower printing speed, lower quality prints, higher cost per page, and better for low volume printing.

• Noisy operation, limited colour options, higher cost per page, and better for occasional printing.

• Limited connectivity, higher energy consumption, lower quality prints, and better for high volume printing.

• Faster printing speed, higher quality prints, lower cost per page, and better for high volume printing.

Why are laser printers preferred for high-volume printing?

• They are less durable and reliable.

• They produce lower quality prints.

• They are slower and less cost-effective.

• They are faster and more cost-effective.
