Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0654356A2] A wide track edge emitter assembly is provided which includes a series of edge emitter assemblies provided on the opposing bottom surfaces of an angled rod. The edge emitter assemblies are provided on opposing angled surfaces in an overlapping and alternating arrangement. The focal point of each of the edge emitter assemblies is adjusted so that it falls along the same line on the light receiving surface for the wide track assembly. In this manner, oversized documents having a width greater than 8.5 inches can be printed using a single wide track assembly. <IMAGE>
