Abstract:
A mirror mount adjusts the curvature of a cylindrical mirror along the optical axis of the mirror, typically the wobble correction mirror, to adjust the scanline bow for an optical scanner. By adjusting the curvature in the mirror mount of the cylindrical axis of the mirror in the plane parallel to the mirror, the scanline bows among multiple ROS's can be approximately equalized. A mirror mount has two fixed abutments on the upper edge of the cylindrical mirror and two moveable abutment points along the lower edge of the mirror. The mirror mount adjusts the curvature of the cylindrical mirror vertically for a horizontal beam to adjust the scanline bow for a single beam and approximately equalize the scanline bow for multiple. ROS units in the printing system. During the bow adjustment the cross sectional shape of the cylindrical mirror is maintained so that the cross scan spotsize is maintained during the adjustment.
Abstract:
A system architecture for scanned non-linearity correction in a printer uses any raster output scanner having scanned non-linearity profile previously stored in memory from a test station installed with any pixel board. The pixel board includes a correction table register wherein the pixel board utilizes the scanned non-linearity profile of the raster output scanner to calculate the correction table register to correct for pixel misregistration.
