摘要 |
<p>The present invention provides an electrophotographic imaging system (10) for producing a latent image from image data, including a support shoe (56) positioned within a laser strike region (82). The system (10) includes a photoconductor belt (12) capable of movement in a first direction (45) forming a continuous transport path. The photoconductor belt (12) having a first major surface (58) and a second major surface (59). A scanner assembly (24, 26, 28, 30) is provided including a scanner for scanning a laser beam representative of the image data across the first major surface (58) within a laser strike region (82) to produce the latent image. A shoe (56) extends across the second major surface (59). The shoe (56) includes a first curved surface (78) within the laser strike region (82) such that the second major surface (59) contacts the first curved surface (78) while the scanner scans the laser beam across the first major surface (58).</p> |
