6.4.2 OPTICAL PATH 
 
 
The laser beams for cyan [B] and magenta [D] are sent to the upper part of the 
polygon mirror [C]. The laser beams for yellow [A] and black [E] are sent to the 
lower part of the polygon mirror. The LD mirrors (see the previous page) reflect the 
laser beams for yellow and black to the lower polygon mirror.  
The mirror [F] corrects the main scan line. Without this mirror, the line bends at the 
middle of the main scan. The central bend of the mirror is adjusted in the factory. 
The speed of the polygon mirror is controlled by the selected mode (see below).
