- Print with high speed
- Print images with high resolution
- Media Support

Disadvantages of Laser Printer
- Laser printers are costly and cannot perform double printing simultaneously.
- Laser printers make use of complicated technology and require large hardware gadgets, which require a lot of space.
- Laser printers are complicated technology and not an economical choice.
- Laser printers are also dangerous for health and the environment as they generate ozone, which depletes the ozone layer.
