Congratulations on purchasing a Star LaserPrinter 4111. You will be de- lighted with both the quality of the printed images and the ease of operation. With your computer and this printer, you can create professional-looking documents.
1.1 LASER PRINTING Before you begin learning about your new Star LaserPrinter 4111, you may find it helpful to know something about laser printing itself. A laser is actually a beam of light of just one wavelength (Laser is an acronym for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation).
At this point, paper fed from the paper cassette moves through the transfer unit, from which it receives a positive charge. As the drum rotates, the negatively charged particles of toner are attracted to the positively charged surface of the paper. A combination of heat and pressure fuse the image to the paper.
1.2 THE STAR LASERPRINTER 4lll- AN INTRODUCTION You will meet each portion of your Star LaserPrinter 4111 as you read this manual, but a brief introduction is in order here.
