Laser Scanner Transport.

Abstract

This document discloses an electromechanical means, forming part of a high speed printer, to cause a 45 deg mirror to simultaneously rotate on its axis and translate back and forth inside a transparent cylinder, thereby causing a modulated laser beam directed onto said mirror along the axis of said cylinder to describe a helical scanning pattern on said cylinder and the printing medium thereon.
