Definition : A feature of photocopiers, laser printers and multifunction printers that allows the automatic copying/printing of a sheet of paper on both sides. Duplex printers work by using a duplexing unit that reverses a piece of paper after the first side has been printed. Often, on photocopiers and multifunction printers, this is combined with a Reversing Automatic Document Feeder (RADF) to allow for duplex scanning.

Definition : Also known as a toner cartridge is a consumable component of a laser printer & photocopier. Toner cartridges contain toner powder, a fine dry mixture of plastic particles, carbon, and black or other colouring agents that make the actual image on the paper. The toner is transferred to paper via an electro statically charged drum unit and fused onto the paper by heated rollers during the printing process.

Definition : Most central processing units (CPU) are labeled in terms of their clock speed expressed in megahertz or gigahertz (109 hertz). The number of megahertz refers to the frequency of the CPU's master clock signal (“clock speed”). This signal is simply an electrical voltage which changes from low to high and back again at regular intervals.

Definition : Software loaded on a server that notifies the administrator when any print device attached to the network reaches a predetermined level, e.g. 25%. The software eliminates the practice adopted by most businesses of holding spare toner cartridges for each printer model in their fleet so as to avoid running out of toner or to take advantage of special bulk buy rates. Almost always expensive toner cartridges are held when a printer fails and is replaced. The software also helps eliminate the expensive practice of replacing toner cartridges before they’ve expired.
