Details of the optical system

In the optical system process, the printer utilizes a semiconductor laser diode as a light source. This laser diode is controlled by fast switching which matches the transmitted image data (video signal).

The generated laser light scans the OPC belt through a polygon mirror and lens. The electrostatic latent images are formed on the OPC belt.

The Optical printhead unit consists of following parts:

No.
