| extension magnet brush | A long handled brush made of nylon fibers that are charged with static electricity to pick up stray toner inside a laser printer. |
| Filament | a thermoplastic strand that is fed into the 3D printer, which heats the plastic and deposits thin layer upon layer onto the print bed to build a three-dimensional object. |
| fuser assembly | In laser printing, a component that uses heat and pressure to fuse the toner to paper. |
| imaging drum | An electrically charged rotating drum found in laser printers. |
| impact printer | A type of printer that creates a printed page by using a mechanism that touches or hits the paper. |
| infrastructure mode | A mode in which Wi-Fi- devices connect to a Wi-Fi access point, such as a SOHO router, which is responsible for securing and managing the wireless network. |
| inkjet printer | A type printer that uses cartridges of ink which is melted to a boiling point and then ejected onto the paper through tiny nozzles. |
| integrated print server | A printer that allows it to connect to a network, manage print jobs from multiple computers, monitor printer maintenance tasks, and perhaps send email alerts when a problem arises. |
| laser printer | A type of printer that uses a laser beam to control how toner is placed onto the page and then uses heat to fuse the toner to the page. |
| local printer | A printer connected to a computer by way of a port on the computer. |

| separation pad | A printer part that keeps more than one sheet of paper from moving forward. |
| thermal paper | A specially coated paper that is used in thermal printers. |
| thermal printer | A type of line printer that uses wax-based ink, which is heated by heat pins that melt the ink onto paper. |

| tractor feed | A continuous feed within an Impact printer that feeds fanfold paper through the printer rather than individual sheets. |
| transfer roller | In laser printing, a soft, black roller that puts a positive charge on the paper which pulls the toner from the drum onto the paper. |
