ABSTRACT:
A document scanner or printer includes a fiber optic bundle which has the fibers of one end arranged in a linear array and the fibers of the other end arranged in an area array. A CRT, or equivalent device, is coupled to the area array and adopted to generate light in a sequence of positions there. The sequence of positions is determined by an algorithm which organizes the addresses of those positions in a list of consecutive near neighbors. Other embodiments are operative to eliminate from the address sequence any address at which no light is to be generated. By shortening the path that a beam traverses or by eliminating some addresses from the address sequence, improved operating speeds are achieved.
