AR-M550/M620/M700 DETAILS OF EACH SECTION 6 - 61
C. Operational descriptions
[Laser optical path]
∗ This unit must not be disassembled in the market.
(1) Polygon mirror motor
The number of mirror surfaces and the motor RPM are reduced to
reduce noises and increase reliability.
(2) Outline of LSU specifications
7 BD PWB Detects the timing of laser scan start. This device is used to detect a laser trouble.
8 No. 2 mirror Converges laser beams to focus.
9 Plane lens Assures the optical path for laser beams.
10 Convergence lens for BD Converges laser beams onto the BD PWB.
