III. LASER/SCANNER SYSTEM

A. Outline

Figure 2-3-1

The DC controller PCB receives the VIDEO signals (/VDO, VDO) from the video controller PCB

and sends then to the laser driver in the laser/scanner unit.

The laser driver turns the laser diode ON and OFF according to the video signal (/VDO, VDO)

and generates the modulated laser beam only when the VIDEO ENABLE signal (/LENBL) from

the DC controller is “L.”

The modulated laser beam is aligned by a collimator lens and a cylindrical lens into a paral-

lel beam which strikes the scanning mirror that is rotating at a specified speed.

The beam reflected from the scanning mirror is brought to a point of focus on the photosen-

sitive drum with the focusing lens and the mirror located in front of the scanning mirror.

As the scanning mirror rotates at a specified speed, the beam is scanned across the drum at

a specified speed.

The drum also rotates at a specified speed and the laser beam successively scans across its

surface. Thus the laser beam builds up an image on the drum surface.
