We had super fast laser printers. The stuff to be printed was written
with a laser on a drum. Then toner was picked up and stayed where the
laser wrote stuff. Then the toner was electrostatically transferred to
the paper and the static charge on the paper was eliminated. The final
stage was the fuser where the toner was pressed, under heat and
pressure, into the paper. The drum was electrostatically 'cleaned' and
the process started over. It could empty a box of paper, like about
2500 sheets, in less than 15 minutes. Paper never caught fire though.
After the fuser it was warm but never on fire.
Can you imagine the liability if paper caught fire?
