It's the fuser (uses heat to fuse the toner to the paper).  The laser is
a minute fraction of a watt unless you have special equipment (and don't
the feds require a license?) to laser engrave your printouts into
something more substantial than what you buy at the office mart.  :)

Thanks for posting this.  I hadn't tracked it down, but I think that
must be happening to my CM-11 when the central air cycles quickly (comes
on again while high pressure is still in the system).  Probably I'll
have to wait until next summer to figure it out.  :)
