  • Page 8: How Led Technology Works

    How LED Technology Works LED vs Laser Technology The light source: • Conventional laser printers use a laser beam, which is moved across the image drum by a series of lenses and spinning mirrors. • Okidata's LED technology uses a fixed array of light emitting diodes mounted on a flat strip that doesn't move.

  • Page 9: The Electrophotographic Process

    The Electrophotographic Process The electrophotographic technology used in OKI digital LED printers and plain paper facsimile machines is almost identical to that employed in most toner-based copying machines. • Charging: The first step is depositing a uniform electrical charge over the image drum.
