Abstract

A multi-format laser printer is disclosed which includes a rotating polygon having mirror facets that line scan a beam of gaussian laser light across a photosensitive member. The printer includes first and second beam shaping optical systems. Each optical system is effective when inserted into the beam path for forming a different length line scan on a photosensitive member to produce different sized prints. Each optical system includes a cylindrical mirror to provide for pyramidal error correction and optical elements preceding the polygon to anamorphically shape the beam.
