Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A faulty printer drum can deposit toner on pages in bands where the laser is not "striking" the paper.
Key Takeaway: The printer drum is responsible for transferring the toner onto the paper where the laser strikes the drum. When a drum is faulty it can deposit toner on the paper incorrectly. The drum will need to be replaced.
