Yes, of course you're replacing the laser, so you have to

Err, yes... But if I am setting up the optics in
a laser printer scanner,
I want to be able to dtect where the beam is (roughly) going and then
tweak the lenses/mirrors to get it where I want it.
Indeed. It's even more useful to get an instant response when you're
setting up the focus...
Getting down to 0.08mm is going to be interesting, what with
beam-scatter and fluorescence. And I really don't like the idea of using
a focus-finder to set it up... viewing a laser through a magnifying lens
seems like a really dumb idea to me, even with safety goggles.
'Do not look up this laser beam with your remaining eye' :-)
When I have a chance I;ll dig out what schematics I have of the CX and SX
enginers and get copies to you...
