• Output channel: 3 channels (R, G, B)
• Effective pixel: 5,400 pixels
• Voltage: 24V & 5V
• Pre-heating time: Maximum 30 seconds (70% of light output reached)
• Life span of the lamp: 30,000 hours (25° C)
6.2.6 LASER SCANNING UNIT (LSU)
The laser-scanning unit converts video data received from machine control into an
electrostatic latent image on the surface of the OPC drum. This is achieved by
controlling the laser beam and exposing the surface of the OPC drum to the laser
light.
The polygon mirror reflects the laser light onto the OPC. Each side of the mirror is
one scan line. The OPC drum turns as the paper feeds, to scan the image down
the page.
