Neither does my Dell. The paper path in a color laser is complicated
because it has to go past multiple transfer rollers. The paper has to go

You are missing the point. The paper in the printer has to do a loop the

the bigger xerox printers (really big) have a number of separate color print
stations. their path is straight. the alignment of the paper is part of the
problem. as tom said, they are very long. i have a couple of relatively

The four toner cartridges are parallel to each other, and I think that
the paper makes only one pass over the cartridges. This is how the
machine achieves a p
