laser printer

Office document maker

A laser printer is a type of printer that uses a laser beam to form an image on a rotating drum, which then transfers toner—a fine powder—onto paper and fuses it with heat.

Laser printers produce sharp text quickly and economically, making them standard in offices: We need to replace the toner in the laser printer.
