A form of computer printer, similar to a xerographic printer, where the ionization of the drum is carried out using a row of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) rather than a laser beam.
LED printers are identical in principle to laser printers except for the light source used. LEDs are more efficient mechanically than normal laser printers, since there are fewer moving parts.
LED technology uses a light-emitting diode printhead as a light source within the imaging device. The LED bar pulse-flashes across the entire page width and creates the image on the print drum as it moves down.
Depending on design, LED printers can have faster rates of print than some laser based designs, and are generally cheaper to manufacture.
