Not sure what you mean but in a laser printer the laser light doesn't actually come into direct contact with the toner. IIRC it's only used to create an electrostatically charged 'image' on the photosensitive drum onto which the toner is attracted, transfered onto the output medium and then heat fused onto it to form the final printed image.
