A laser printer is a common type of computer printer that quickly produces high quality text and graphics on plain paper. Laser printers, like photocopiers, employ a xerographic printing process but differ from analog photocopiers in that the image is produced by the direct scanning of a laser beam across the printer’s photoreceptor.
Laser printers can print up to 100 standard 8 1/2″ x 11″ pages per minute. To be able to print checks, the printer must be fitted with a magnetic ink character recognition (MICR) font cartridge. This apply the scientific principle of static electricity. A revolving cylinder or a drum develops an electrical charge. Laser printer is page printer, printing a complete page at a time. The printed images, which can take the form of pictures or text, is made up of tiny dots, or ink particles.
