ABSTRACT:
An optical transceiver measures optical density of a toned image. The optical transceiver comprises:a) a bifurcated optical bundle having first and second branches and a common end, each branch having a first plurality of fibers and a second plurality of fibers, respectively, wherein the branches are intermixed in the common end;b) a radiation source for producing radiation, wherein the radiation source is aligned with the first branch;c) a detector for detecting the radiation, wherein the detector is aligned with the second branch; andd) a toner receptor having a surface, wherein the toned image is on the surface and the toner receptor is aligned with the common end.
