The printer I first used was a line printer. Not the scanning head type, but a true "line" printer, a row of spinning heads, each wheel corresponds to a column, each wheel position/angle corresponds to a letter/symbol. So on each impact, a whole line is printed. Between the lines, the wheels lift and spin to get ready for the next line. The paper practically "fly" out at the other end. I have never seen paper on fire, but I can imagine.

The stuff to be printed was written with a laser on a drum. Then toner was picked up and stayed where the laser wrote stuff. Then the toner was electrostatically transferred to the paper and the static charge on the paper was eliminated. The final stage was the fuser where the toner was pressed, under heat and pressure, into the paper. The drum was electrostatically 'cleaned' and the process started over. It could empty a box of paper, like about 2500 sheets, in less than 15 minutes. Paper never caught fire though. After the fuser it was warm but never on fire. Can you imagine the liability if paper caught fire? Bob -- ///// ( O O ) --------------------oOOO-----O----OOOo-----73 de [EMAIL PROTECTED] I plan to live forever.
