A printer is an output device that prints the paper documents
either from a computer or manually written paper.
To print a document, the electronic data must be sent from the
computer to printer.
Its mechanism is quite interesting.
It has a laser which projects the image of your document on the
drum.
Drum makes the page positively charged onto which print is to be
done.
Drum then uses static electricity to attract the negatively charged
dry toner to the drums cylinder.
The drum then rolls the toner onto the paper to create your
print.
Heated rollers within printer are used to permanent the
impression of toner onto paper.
PRINTER
MECHANISM
13. 3) PLOTTER:
Plotters are special types of printers that produce high quality
prints on large sheets.
