ABSTRACT:
A raster scanning optical system and method for adjusting the pixel placement of light beams being scanned across an image receiving device. A spot velocity of a first laser beam is measured and then a spot velocity of a second laser beam is measured. From these measurements, the pixel positions of each of the beams can be determined. The firing rate of the second laser beam is then adjusted to adjust the pixel placement of the second beam. This helps avoid problems caused by tangentially offset laser diodes that scan with varying spot linearities.
