Xerox 96MX manual Laser printing technology, Paper

OVERVIEW

Laser printing technology

Before you learn about the actual forms creation process, an introduction to the printing system will be helpful.

Xerox laser printing systems are sophisticated nonimpact printers that use a combination of laser, digital, and xerographic technologies for their imaging and printing processes. These advanced technologies allow the LPS to avoid optical constraints such as form overlays and limited character fonts. All control functions are carried out electronically; the software commands requesting these functions are given in keywords, phrases, or sentences.

A digitally controlled laser beam is directed at a photoreceptor belt to create the xerographic image. The beam can be controlled with an accuracy of 1/300 inch or 1/600 inch (depending upon the type of system). This enables it to faithfully reproduce complex logos, signatures, and virtually any desired font at a consistently high level of quality.
