A scanning system which includes a rotatable multifaceted polygon, the faceted surfaces of which are optically reflective; a recording means spaced-apart from the said polygon and adapted to move in a direction parallel to the rotational axis of the polygon; light generating means for generating at least one pair of light beams, the light beams of each pair being directed at different angles onto the faceted surface in a manner whereby the regions of the faceted surface illuminated by the beams are in contact with each other in a non-overlapping relationship; modulating means for modulating the said at least one pair of light beams; and focussing means interposed between the said polygon and the said recording means for focussing each pair of light beams reflected from the said polygon onto the said recording means. |
