Descriptions
6.3.2 OPTICAL PATH
The laser beams for black [A] and yellow [B] are directed to the upper part of the polygon
mirror [C]. Laser beams for magenta [D] and cyan [E] are directed to the lower part of the
polygon mirror [C].
The L2 lens [F] corrects the main scan line. Without this component, the line bends out
towards the middle of the main scan. The central bend of the L2 lens is adjusted in the
factory.
The speed of the polygon mirror depends on the selected mode and model (see below).
