Hi guys,
I've got a Laserjet III laser scanner module kicking around in my
junkbox, harvested from an utterly screwed LJ3. It has a fibre-optic
light pipe on one side, which connects to a photosensor on the
motherboard. Does anyone know what the frequency or period of the
photocell signal is?
That is to say, how long does it take for the scanner to make one
complete pass from "horizontal blank" to the right margin -- in other
words, the time from the leading edge of one photocell pulse to the next?
I'm toying with the idea of repurposing the scanner module for another
project (using a BluRay laser diode to print directly onto photographic
paper then process using a 3-bath B&W process), and I'd like to figure
out (in advance!) what the requirements will be placed on the paper
drive system (among other things!)
Thanks,
--
Phil.
