6 Laser Exposure System
6.1 Outline
The laser exposure system consists of a laser unit (source of the laser beam) and a poly-
gon mirror, and it scans the photosensitive drum by running a beam in main scanning direc-
tion to create static latent image.
A pair of lasers (laser A, laser B) is used for scanning (twin laser exposure); F02-601-01
and T02-601-01 shows the basic construction of the laser exposure system.
