Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The fuser unit in a laser printer is responsible for bonding the toner powder to the paper by applying heat and pressure. If the fuser unit is malfunctioning or not reaching the proper temperature, the toner will not be properly fused to the paper, leading to smearing when touched.
