Dell 720 Inkjet Printer
Function
The dell printer is designed to print ink onto papers. This is a cheaper version of a printer and is often given out by dell free with the purchase of a computer bundle.
How The Printer Works
The Primary function of the printer is to spray the ink onto the paper in distinguishable patterns.
This is accomplished by:
1. Feeding in the paper.
2. Moving the ink jets laterally.
3. Spraying the ink onto the paper.
4. Feeding the paper out of the system.
