4 Laser Exposure System
4.1 Outline of the Laser Exposure System
The laser exposure system consists of a laser unit (source of laser beams) and a polygon
mirror. It scans the photosensitive drum (main scanning direction) to create a latent static
image. It is a twin-laser mechanism (laser A, laser B), and its basic construction is as shown
in F02-401-01 and T02-401-01.
