printer types
this printer is used to make physical objects such as toys and parts
what is a 3D printer
round plastic pieces that move paper to the printing mechanism and dispense the completed project
what are rollers
the primary reason you would be unable to print a paper, the printer will often give a warning before this happens
what is out of ink
what is the processing step
a series of numbers used to identify a network host within a network
what is an IP address
this printer uses a laser and electromagnetic ink to write marks in ink and then fuses the ink to the paper
what is a laser printer
the container in which ink is stored
what is an ink cartridge
this roller cleans excess ink from the drum and transfers ink onto a page in a laser printer
what is a transfer roller
in this step a photo sensitive drum is given a consistent charge so that it can react to light creating an electromagnetic charge difference
the charging phase
a common form of digital security which is a series of numbers, letters, and/or symbols which allow access to certain programs and information
what is a password

the fuser assembly
this piece is removable and must be cooled prior to handling in a 3D printer
what is a hot end nozzle
this technology is short ranged and requires pairing
what is Bluetooth
this printer sprays ink on the page using nozzles

when changing it in a 3D printer this material must e heated before being removed
this part must be cleaned and then greased or oiled in a 3D printer
what is the axis
a set of devices that are physically or wirelessly connected within a network but are virtually separated into their own network
