EXAM TIP Printers can also use duplex assemblies, which enable the

printer to automatically print on both sides of the paper. Some printers

include this feature built in, while others require a piece of additional

hardware that flips the paper for the printer.

Inkjet Printers

Inkjet printers (also called ink-dispersion printers) like the one in Figure 26-4

are relatively simple devices. An inkjet printer uses a printhead connected to

a carriage that contains the ink. A belt and motor move the carriage back and

forth so the ink can cover the whole page. A roller grabs paper from a paper

tray (usually under or inside the printer) or feeder (usually on the back of the

printer) and advances it through the printer (see Figure 26-5).
