Images are printed using an electrographic process:
The laser unit, modulated by video signals, sends light to the photoconductive drum and generates a latent electrostatic image that is converted to a toner image in the print unit. The paper attracts the toner image from the photoconductive drum, and the image is transferred to the paper.
Heat generated by the heat roller fuses the transferred toner image to the paper, and the paper is ejected to the stacker.
The photoconductive drum is then cleaned for the next printing.
The above operations are continuous and enables uninterrupted quality printing.
(2)Controller
The controller controls the interfaces to the computer, mechanism controller, and control panel.
(3)Control panel and MarkVision/PPMENU
The control panel has LED indicators, LCD, and
The printer setup can be changed using the control panel (in menu mode). It can also be changed remotely using the printer utility programs, MarkVision™ and PPMENU.
See Chapter 4 for details on control panel operation and MarkVision/PPMENU.

(5)Memory Expansion cards
The RAM card is used to expand the resident RAM memory (8 MB) to download soft fonts or to process more data.
The RAM card is a SIMM type board and its memory capacity is 4M, 8M, 16M, or 32M bytes. RAM cards are installed to the top and middle SIMM connectors on the controller board. So, up to 64 MB can be added.
(6)Emulation card (not available currently)
The emulation card is used to add a printer emulation.
The emulation card is a SIMM type board and is installed to the bottom SIMM connector on the controller board.
