How Does A Printer Work? By: Anton Sheveliov 8.3 Nov. 1, 2011

The role of a printer seems quite simple, but is actually quite complicated once you think about all of the diverse mechanisms. First, paper is rolled into the printer by an object called a paper grabber. The paper continues to travel through the printer because of an object call a roller. Then printer cartridges and black tubing come into place. The printer cartridges and black tubing are the key parts of the ink distribution system. But the heart of the printer is called the ink head assembly. This mechanism fires droplets of ink onto the paper. A certain belt connects the ink head to a motor so that it can disperse ink evenly along the paper. Then a circuit board comes into use. The circuit board coordinates the mechanics of printing. The circuit board sends signals to the printer from the computer. Its job is also to contain a smooth relationship between the paper, the printer, the ink head, and the inks.
