Today in class me and my group worked on planning out our IDS project and setting up what we are going to propose to the IT Department. It looks like we will be using the software called Adobe Contributor CS3.
We did notes today on Printers and how they work and the different types of printers. I found it very interesting. We also had several tasks to do. One of the tasks was to get a printer working with our compaq computers. Myself and another student worked on getting it working with his compaq computer. We were successful and were able to move onto the next task quite quickly.
The next task was to right down the steps on how to use a laser printer and this is what I came up with:
1.
Cleaning: Excess toner is scraped from the photoelectric drum.
2. Conditioning: A uniform -600 volt charge is placed on the photoelectric drum
by the primary corona.
3. Writing: Laser diodes write an invisible electric image on the photoelectric
drum by causing the drum surface
to be less negative wherever the laser beam hits.
4. Developing: This is where the transfer roller places the toner on the drum.
The toner sticks to the areas that
have had the electric charge lessened due to the laser beam.
5. Transfer: The secondary corona uses a positive charge to attract the toner
from the drum to the paper. The
paper gets charged by corona too.
6. Fusing: The toner is then melted into the paper.
After class I was able to set up a possible practicum and talk to the manager/runner for a long period of time and get lots of info written down and plan out what I may be doing. I feel pretty confident that this may work out.
Thanks for taking the time to read this,
Sincerely,
