HWDotW : Laser Printer

Hardware Device of the week #3: Laser Printer

Complete a paper (1-3 sides A4) summarising how a Laser Printer works. 

Split up your timing into 45 minutes of research and summarising  and 45 mins to create the sheet. 

You should state where all your information has come from… Feel free to copy n paste diagrams.. but text should be re-written so it make sense to you.  You should always make reference of where information has come from. If you wish to do it properly follow this guide http://education.exeter.ac.uk/dll/studyskills/harvard_referencing.htm . But I will accept a URL or clear book names.
