               or a power of verbal expression which is neither active
               nor passive. Thus we say to get acquitted, beaten,
               confused, dressed. --Earle.

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   laser printer
  
      A non-impact high-resolution printer which uses a
      rotating disk to reflect laser beams to form an electrostatic
      image on a selenium imaging drum.   The developer drum
      transfers toner from the toner bin to the charged areas of the
      imaging drum, which then transfers it onto the paper into
      which it is fused by heat.   Toner is dry ink powder, generally
      a plastic heat-sensitive polymer.
  
      Print resolution currently (2001) ranges between 300 and 2400
      dots per inch (DPI).   Laser printers using chemical
      photoreproduction techniques can produce resolutions of up to
      2400 DPI.
  
      Print speed is limited by whichever is slower - the printer
      hardware (the "engine speed"), or the software {rendering}
      process that converts the data to be printed into a {bit map}.
  
      The print speed may exceed 21,000 lines per minute, though
      printing speed is more often given in pages per minute.   If a
      laser printer is rated at 12 pages per minute (PPM), this
      figure would be true only if the printer is printing the same
      data on each of the twelve pages, so that the bit map is
      identical.   This speed however, is rarely reached if each page
      contains different codes, text, and graphics.
  
      In 2001, Xerox's Phaser 1235 and 2135 (with Okidata engines)
      could print up to 21 colour ppm at 1200x1200 DPI using a
      single-pass process.
  
      Colour laser printers can reach 2400 DPI easily (e.g. an HP
      LaserJet 8550).   Some printers with large amounts of RAM can
      print at engine speed with different text pages and some of
      the larger lasers intended for graphics design work can print
      graphics at full engine speed.
  
      Although there are dozens of retail brands of laser printers,
      only a few {original equipment manufacturers} make {print
      engines}, e.g. {Canon}, {Ricoh}, {Toshiba}, and {Xerox}.
