ABSTRACT:
In one embodiment, an apparatus for scanning a beam of light in a digital image recorder includes a curved writing surface translating in at least one direction relative to a stationary frame, a rotatable shaft having a first reflective surface not translating in the at least one direction relative to the stationary frame, and a light source emitting a beam of light directed to the reflective surface for reflection to the curved writing surface.
