Patent EP-1517539-A3 (EP)
Inventor: KATO MANABU
IPC: H04N1/113
Filed: 2000-03-09
Abstract: A multibeam scanning optical apparatus comprises a
light source, an incident optical system, an optical
deflector, a scanning optical system, a detection
optical element, and a photodetector. A plurality of
light beams modulated in accordance with information
signals are emitted from the light source and led to
the optical deflector, typically a rotary polygon
mirror, by way of the incident optical system,
typically a collimator lens and a cylindrical lens.
The light beams deflected by the optical deflector are
then focussed on a surface to be scanned, typically a
photosensitive drum, by way of the scanning optical
system having an f characteristic. Part of the
deflected light beams are led to the photodetector by
way of the detection optical system in order to control
the timing of the start of scanning so that the centers
of the scanning areas of the plurality of light beams
agree with each other on the surface to be scanned. In
case of a color image forming apparatus comprising a
plurality of scanning optical apparatus, the above
control scheme can be applied even when the scanning
optical apparatus have a single beam light source.
The starting points of scanning of light beams of different wave lengths
are allowed to differ from each other in a main scanning direction.

Abstract: A printing system for time-based data enables the printing of time-based media by sharing processing resources on a printer and on an external media processing system such as an external service, for example, a web service. The media processing may similarly be shared between the printer and an external device attached via a communication interface to the printer or via a network. An example of such a device is a personal computer. A stand-alone version of the printer with embedded time based data in multiple media is described with a display and user interface so that a user can walk up to the printer and perform multimedia processing at the printer. The stand alone version has a network connection or other communication interface so that an external service or device can interface directly with the printer in performing media processing or a user can interface with the external service or device directly through the printer.
