Q

If a laser printer is 2400 x 600 dpi, what does 600 mean?

A

The smallest increment by which the drum can be turned.

17
Q

What does resolution enhancement technology (ret) do?

A

Adds smaller dots to smooth out jagged characters

18
Q

What applies a negative charge to the drum?

A

Primary corona or primary charge roller

19
Q

What does the laser do?

A

Makes a positive image on the drum

20
Q

What happens in the developing stage?

A

Toner gets put on the drum

21
Q

What is the most prominent thing that happens in the fusing stage?

A

The toner from the drum gets fused to the paper

22
Q

What rollers are involved when toner gets fused to the paper?

A

a heated roller and a pressure roller

23
Q

What is the last step in the fusing stage?

A

A static charge eliminator removes the paper’s positive charge.

24
Q

What usually cleans the drum?

A

A rubber cleaning blade

25
Q

If random black spots and streaks appear on a page, what does that likely mean?

A

The drum didn’t get cleaned properly

26
Q

What is likely the problem if a mark gets printed on every page?

A

The drum is damaged and thus cannot be cleaned properly
