ABSTRACT:
Methods and apparatus include improving print quality of a bi-directionally scanning electrophotographic (EP) device, such as a laser printer or copy machine, according to temperature. A moving galvanometer or oscillator reflects a laser beam to create forward and reverse scan lines of a latent image. During use, the actual ambient temperature is obtained and used make corrections to improve print quality, such as by producing the latent image with a signal altered from an image data input signal to help ensure proper alignment of the forward and reverse scan lines.
