The Toner of Peyton Place

Scene 2.

Psychologist (closing the lid). All this is fascinating. Now show me again how you all work together.

Components (in turn). The computer sends a print command to the Printer. The Drum is heard beginning to turn, as well as the Magnetic Roller. Excited by the Magnetic Roller and attracted by the oppositely magnetized Drum, the Toner leaves the Hopper through the slit and is accurately measured by the Doctor Blade. In the meantime, the Laser beam strikes the Drum right where (and only where) the image must be formed. The Toner, irresistibly attracted, abandons herself into the arms of the Drum, just in the traces struck by the Laser beam. But in a sudden change of sex (oops, polarity) the Toner develops an instant attraction for the Paper. The Toner (most of it) leaves the Drum to be now received with open arms by the Paper. Together, Toner and Paper generate a Print. Disgusted with the remaining Toner, the Drum cleanses itself with the Wiper Blade and the Recovery Blade. The same sequence of events happens 3 times in a row for every image. In the end, the Fuser Roller seals the perennial union of Toner with Paper.

Psychologist. Fantastic! Mechanically and electrically speaking, you are marvelous, but as a psychologist let me tell you, you all could use some counseling.

Chorus. With rough and all-unable pen, 
Our bending author hath pursued the story.
In hope that all may not be turned to nought
Piece out our imperfections with your thought.

The End (all Components bow to the Audience)
