Printer Operation

Paper is held in a 150 page tray where it is picked by a center-fed "D" shape pick roller. The paper follows an "L" shape path as it moves through the printer. Images are created with toner on an OPC drum within the toner cartridge. A transfer roller then draws the toner off the OPC drum onto the paper. Once the toner is affixed to the paper by the fuser, the paper exits either the top or front of the printer.
