Optical Character Generation for a High-Speed Non-Impact PrinterFootnote

Pages 183-186 | Received 15 Oct 1976, Published online: 22 Jul 2016
 

Abstract

The requirements for optical character generation for a commercial electrophotographic high-speed printer—more than 10,000 1pm—are given. They lead to the conclusion that the principal elements of a character generator will he a laser, an acousto-optic deflector and a polygon mirror.

The arrangement of a character generator which has been realized in a commercial printer is described in detail. Its performance characteristics are calculated and compared to experimental results.

Notes

Paper presented at a symposium on “Electrophorography” organized by the Science Committee of The Royal Photographic Society, on 12-17 September 1976, in Cambridge, England.
