1. Laser emission Unit
This unit consists of the laser diode, finite focus lens, aperture and cylinder lens.
- Laser diode
This laser diode features low droop, small laser variation and low threshold current.
Aperture determines the shape of the laser beam at laser emission position of the primary
scanning and secondary scanning.
Laser diode radiates the laser beams responding to the laser emission control (ON/OFF) signals
from the laser driving PC board (LDR). Laser beams which passed through the finite focus lens
are focused on the drum surface.
- Laser precautions
A laser diode is used for this equipment and radiates an invisible laser beam.
Since it is not visible, be extremely careful when handling the laser optical unit components,
performing operations or adjusting the laser beam. Also never perform the procedure with other
than the specified manuals because you could be exposed to the laser radiation.
The laser optical unit is completely sealed with a protective cover. As long as only the operations
of specified manuals are performed, the laser beam is not leaked and you are in no danger of
being exposed to laser radiation.
The following cautionary label for the laser is attached to the front right cover (inside of the front
cover).
