Know all About Here About Printer Drum<\/strong><\/h2>\n
<\/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

Set the duration of the printed sheets in tens of thousands of copies (in a block with a toner cartridge, the maximum number of copies is 10 thousand)<\/li>\n
Change a detail without replacing other parts of the printer or copier.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
The drum unit includes a small track and a used dust container. The connection in a single unit of a tube with a toner and the blocking of the drum, on the one hand, reduces the cost of the node, on the other it reduces its duration. The photographic drum thus withstands up to 4 recharges, a quantity of 2-10 thousand copies, after which it must be changed.<\/p>\n
Principle of operation<\/strong><\/h2>\n
The printing process begins with the creation of a static field on the surface of the drum. The role of the electrostatic voltage of the conductor is performed in the aluminum housing. The field can be both positive and negative. The same charge should be distributed independently on the surface of the drum, so as not to be attracted to the entire surface of the shaft.<\/p>\n
The laser highlights, in a mirror image, the text or image that must be transferred to the paper; this image is also reflected on the drum. Under the action of light, the photosensitive layer changes its charge in reverse; after this the coloring powder is attracted. The drum, rolling on the paper, transfers the toner onto it: generally it is an action that takes place in a very short time, a thousandth of a second. Under the influence of high temperatures from a special stove included in the printer, the drum interacts quickly with the pores of the paper. The result is the desired image.<\/p>\n
