Write control
Image data that has been processed is converted into laser beam on the laser drive board (LDB) to be irradiated
on the drum. 1 laser diode emits 2 beams and 2 lines are written per 1 scan.
To prevent the mis-centering of a written image, an INDEX signal detected by the index board (INDEXB) is used
to decide the reference position for writing in the drum shaft direction (main scan direction) to control the starting
position of the laser irradiation onto the drum.
7.2.3
Image stabilization control
The following items are provided for the image stabilization control. For details, See
