The simple-looking cartridge contains the photoconductor drum that is the heart of the printing operation, but it also contains multiple components that have other important roles.
Chemical and electrical processes are carried out within the cartridge in order to faithfully reproduce on paper the images of the data you want to print.
In order to maximize image quality, it is important that the printer characteristics, the toner, and the photoconductor drum all match each other to the greatest degree possible.
1.After voltage is applied by the printer, the charging unit releases electricity to apply an equal charge to the entire surface of the photoconductor drum.
2.A laser projects the print data on the surface of the photoconductor drum, and then a chemical reaction takes place on the drum's surface. Since this projection process takes place repeatedly, with durability considerations in mind, the surface of the photoconductor drum is made with material that provides the optimum match with the wavelength of the laser of the printer itself.

3.The developer unit applies toner to the areas that were exposed to the laser. The uniform distribution of toner on the surface of the photoconductor drum is a key factor in printing beautiful images so it is important that the toner particles be evenly applied.

The application of heat melts the toner on the paper and pressure fixes it to the paper. Toner characteristics and roller temperature are fine tuned to the optimum levels.
