1.1 LASERPRINTING

BeforeyoubeginlearningaboutyournewStarLaserPrinter4,youmayfind

ithelpfulto knowsomethingaboutlaserprintingitself.

Alaser is actuallyabeam of light of just one wavelength(Laser is an

acronymfor Light Amplificationby StimulatedEmissionof Radiation).

Suchabeamof light,describedas“highlycoherent”,canbe focusedvery

sharply.Lasers,generatedbygases,liquidsor semiconductors,a~ widely

usedin applicationsrangingfromsurgeryto thevisualarts.

Laserprintingis aprocessthatusesalaserbeam—in thiscase,generated

byasemiconductor-to activateportionsofanelectricallychargedsurface.

Theseactivatedpartsrepresentthewords,numbers,orgraphicsbeingsent

fromthecomputerforprinting.Otherpartsofthepnntertransferthisimage

topaper,thencleanthesurfaceandprepareitto receivemoreinformation

to beprinted.

Inotherwords,thisprocessisatypeoflaser-activatedtemporaryengraving.

In the StarLaserPrinter4, two intercomectedunitsproducethecomplete

printingprocess:thetonercartridgeandtheprinterbody.

Thetonercartridgecontainsthedrum,whichis therotatingsurface.In the
