\"Printer<\/p>\n

The work of laser printers is based on the transfer of dye powder (toner) by an electron method onto the surface of a drum, which forms an image on paper. As a result, the drum unit is the main part of a photocopier (here the laser is replaced by special LED units) or a laser printer. The drum of a printer is made in the form of a 21 cm long hollow aluminum cylinder, which corresponds to the size of the A4 paper. In some cases its length can reach ten centimeters. A multilayer coating is applied to the surface of the aluminum cylinder.<\/p>\n

This is the base layer and the transfer charge layer of the outer coating. Added to this is the cylinder body, the aluminum tube that serves as a conductive layer. The upper layer consists of a photosensitive substance based on selenium (an element that is practically not used recently), amorphous silicon or organic compounds, whose composition is a trade secret. The photocell rotates with the help of gears mounted on the ends of the cylinder.<\/p>\n

The drum is placed in the printing device in two ways: directly in the machine or in a single unit with a toner bottle. Separate devices for photoreceptors and toner cartridges are used in various expensive models of printing devices, which enable:<\/p>\n
