What is a drum cartridge and what is the diference between a drum cartridge a toner cartridge?

A Toner Cartridge holds toner and dispenses it as needed to make copies (in a copier) or to prints pages (in a printer).

Another element in xerographic copiers is the photoreceptor drum. This is the surface to which the toner adheres before being transfered to the paper. The photoreceptor has a long but finite useful lifetime and must be replaced occasionally. Some copiers/printers have drum cartridges which can be changed out by the user. The alternative would be to have a service person open the machine and replace the photoreceptor drum.

So, a drum cartridge alows the user to replace the photoreceptor drum and a toner cartridge allows the user to replenich toner supplies, both easier than before cartridges were developed for this purpose.
