<p>A pyramid polygon scanner (12) without cylinder optics wherein the effects of jitter are reduced by the use of a start of scan detector situated at a predetermined angle from the normal (vertical) position. The start of scan detector is rotated about an axis through the nominal scan line. Thus, if tilt (not the draft angle) is present in the rotating polygon system and jitter is generated, the rotation angle of the split detector moves the jitter to the beginning and end of scan, leaving the center of scan free of the effects of jitter. The angle of the split detector is in approximate relation to the angle of incidence at the first reflection on the rotating polygon.</p> |
