Laser/scanner system 83
Laser/scanner system
The laser/scanner unit of the HP LaserJet 9000 series printer and the HP LaserJet 9040/9050 series
printer contains two laser diodes in its laser unit. The printer employs the “twin-beam method,” which
scans two lines simultaneously.
Based on signals it receives from the DC controller and the formatter, the laser/scanner PCA causes
the two laser diodes to emit laser beams. The beams strike a six-sided mirror that rotates at a
constant speed. The beams reflect off the mirror, pass through a focusing lens and a reflective mirror,
and focus on the photosensitive drum.
The scanning mirror rotating at a constant speed allows the laser beams to scan across the drum at
a constant speed. Finally, a latent image is formed on the drum surface by constant-speed rotation of
the photosensitive drum and constant-speed scanning of the laser beams.
