Abstract
Raster output scanner assemblies, and systems which use such assemblies, having mirrors mounted on the outside of an outer frame. Slits in the outer frame enable light to reflect from the mirrors. Beneficially, the outside mirror or mirrors are protected from contamination by mounting the primary surface of the mirrors (the surface which reflects light) against the outer frame and by mounting a cover over the mirrors.
