A laser printer that prints in color using four toner cartridges (CMYK) of cyan, magenta, yellow and black. The colors are applied one at a time to the drum and are then adhered to the paper. See printer.
Color Laser Mechanism
This is a typical color laser printer. The toner cartridges deliver the toner to the photo conducting belt, which delivers it to the drum and then the paper.
