How Your Printer Works

Your laser printer works using a combination of a mechanical and
an electrical process. The whole process comes down to five stages
in which mechanical parts move media (paper or transparencies)
through the printer and progressively stronger electrical charges
transfer toner from area to area as it forms the image. See figure
D.1 for an overview of the mechanical part of the interior of your
printer.
