ENTER: THE LASER PRINTER, A GEN-X INVENTION THAT 16 AN INTEGRAL PART OF MOST WHITE-COLLAR JOBS IN THE MODERN WORLD. SIMILAR TO PHOTOCOPIERS, LASER PRINTERS USE THE SAME BASIC TECHNOLOGIES. WITH A PHOTOCOPIER, A BRIGHT LIGHT 1S USED TO PROJECT AN EXACT COPY OF A PRINTED PAGE, THIS LIGHT REFLECTS OFFI OF THE PAGE ONTO A LIGHT SENSITIVE DRUM. USING STATI ELECTRICITY, THE DRUM TRANSFERS AND FUSES INK PARTICLES TO THE BLANK PAGE WITH HOT ROLLERS. THE PRINTER IS THAT THERE 1G NO ORIGINAL PAGE TO PHOTOCOPY FOR THE LASER PRINTER, THUS FORCING IT TO PLACE EACH PARTICLE MANUALLY. THE LASER PRINTER DETECTS AND CONVERTS ELECTRONIC DATA STORED ON (OUR COMPUTER'S TRANSISTOR INTO PICTURES AND WORDS.| THIS 1G DONE BY USING THE SAID ELECTRONIC DATA TO CONTROL A LASER BEAM THAT PLACES THE INK ON A PAGE. Xerox PARC Research Center Looks Back on 40 Years of Invention Laser Printing, 1971 The laser printer, based on a modified xerographic copier, was invented at Xerox PARC by researcher Gary Starkweather, who had a fully functional networked printer system working by 1971. Laser printing eventually became a multibillion-dollar business for Xerox. mirror, lenses, <_. C~ ~ fusing = r Ue > section “NS, A“? R&SORIGINALLY, THE LASER PRINTER WAS MADE AS AN EFFORT TO EVOLVE THE ALREADY ESTABLISHED AND ACCEPTED PHOTOCOPIER, BUT THE HISTORY OF IT’S CONCEPTION IS MUCH MORE INTERESTING. IN 1969 GARY STARKAWEATHER, A MEMBER OF XEROX’S DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT, HAD THE INGENIOUS IDEA OF USING A LAGER BEAM TO DEVELOP AND PRINT INAGES. FROM 1971 TO 1977, STARKWEATHER ALONG WITH OTHER ENGINEERS DEVELOPED SYSTEMS SUCH AS SLOT (SCANNED LASER OUTPUT TERMINAL) AND EARS (ETHERNET, ALTO RESEARCH CHARACTER GENERATOR, SCANNED LASER OUTPUT TERMINAL) IN ORDER TO CREATE THE XEROX 9700. ASIDE FROM THE IBM 3800 (1976), THE XEROX 9700 |S CONSIDERED TO BE ONE OF THE WORLD'S FIRET COMMERCIALLY SUCCESSFUL LASER PRINTERS, AND A PINNACLE OF SUPERB DESIGN.NOWADAYS, LAGER PRINTERS ARE WIDELY ACCEPTED AS RELIABLE MACHINES TO HELP (MATERIALIZE DATA ON PAPER. IN THE LAGER PRINTING INDUSTRY, THERE ARE MULTIPLE DOMINATING COMPANIES INCLUDING; DELL, XEROX, HP, LEXMARK, OKL, AND BROTHER. HERE ARE FOUR EXAMPLES OF MODERN LASER PRINTER; THE NSS1ZDN FROM LEXMARK, THE XEROX PHASER 46ZZDN AND THE HP LASERJET} ENTERPRISE FLOW MULTI-FUNCTION.
