In terms of technology, the printer is compressed into one of two categories: inkjet and laser. DOT also other smaller subcategories such as matrix and solid ink.
The basics
The way work printer is quite simple. In short, the printer
digital images and text work by changing the physical copies. They have been
designed to replace a driver or file that you do this by using special software
in the language the printer can understand. Miniskul image or text using a
series of dots is rebuilt on the page. The only real difference that are
transferred on the different machines of various types that the way in which
the point p.
Inkjet printer
Inkjet printers have a print head in each of which contains
thousands of small holes. These small openings leave the speed of micro-droplets
of ink onto the paper in the printer.
Inkjet machines use a liquid ink produced by a colored dye
or a liquid, a liquid containing solid pigment suspension. Since runs
horizontally across the print head machine, the paper passes through the vertical.
As soon as the page passes, are active in different holes in the print head
pushes a droplet of the page) and ink by heat flow based on the (usually
manufacturer. This process if thousands performs at high speed with which drops
a paired together to create again the digital text or image transfer media. To
the naked eye, the overall picture looks solid because the dots are very small.
Laser / LED printers
The laser works in a manner similar to LED inkjet machines
that image is too many is seen as made up of small dots, which complete,
appears to be a solid image. However, went adopted in making those small points
method is quite different. Therefore, where the use of an inkjet liquid points,
uses dots of a laser machine toner - a fine powder of solid particles.
When compared to an inkjet machine, laser are more complex.
These machines rely on several stages during the process than inkjet. In simple
terms, the basic process is the use of a light source (laser / LED), drums
(mono) or multiple drums (color) and toner.
To create an image on the page, the drum is first charged
and then laser or LED shines on the drum in the framework of the desired image.
Which charged toner is attracted to areas of own drum does have knock and move
the powder from a range of toner cartridges rollers and presents it in the
drum. In areas where toner and that area is charged, which are drawn on the
drum, which does not attract the toner particles stick to the parts that make
up the image. At the same time, the paper is taken to meet the drum, which in
turn transmits the image on the page.
Paper is then passed through a Fusr unit (hot roller) which
applies heat and pressure to melt the toner particles so that they can be glued
to the page and create a finished image.
Solid ink printers
Only available from Xerox solid ink printers perform in a
way which connects the printing methods, both inkjet and laser printers. Solid
wax is melted and sprayed onto a large drum unit using the print head found on
an inkjet printer. The image is created went on a large metal roller moved
directly on the page. Once dry, you made of material such as crayons are left
with an image. Solid ink printers are known for producing vibrant, colorful
prints that really stand out.
And there you have it - a complete simplified breakdown of
how printers work. We hope you found it useful and if your printer is not printing
properly printer support will help you.
