Raster ouput scanner and printer

摘要

A raster output scanner assembly (36) having a first laser source (104) for producing first and second laser beams (A & B), and a second laser source (204) for producing third and fourth laser beams (C & D). The first and second laser beams (A & B) are directed to a first rotating, multifaceted polygon (110) while the third and fourth laser beams (C & D) are directed to a second rotating, multifaceted polygon (210). The first polygon (110) reflects the first and second laser beams (A & B) onto a moving photoreceptor (20) while the second polygon (210) reflects the third and fourth laser beams (C & D) onto the photoreceptor (20). The spots produced by the various laser beams are interlaced such that the scan line produced by the third laser beam (C) is between the scan lines produced by the first and second laser beams (A & B), while the scan line produced by the fourth laser beam (D) is adjacent the scan line produced by the second laser beam (B). <IMAGE>
