The image drum unit, present in the printers, has been modified so that only one unit is required to print all the colors. In addition, the waster toner unit has been reengineered so that only one box is needed for all the colors. All these modifications have led to a 40% decrease in volume and 10 cm deduction in height, when compared to the traditional models. The changes allow the printers to be integrated into any kind of workgroup environment.
