摘要:
A deflector mirror is disclosed that includes a mirror substrate configured to vibrate in a reciprocating manner on beams as a torsional rotary shaft so as to deflect a light beam emitted from a light source. The mirror substrate includes multiple regions in each of portions thereof extending from the torsional rotary shaft to respective ends of the mirror substrate, the regions being different in flexural rigidity.

A supply cartridge contains at least two types of consumable material which are exhausted substantially at the same time over a course of ordinary image reproduction, and the supply cartridge lacks any substantial replacement part so that the supply cartridge replacement wastes no residual life of replacement hardware parts.
摘要:
A communication apparatus for carrying out communications to and from an external apparatus that includes a first interconnecting unit and a first non-transparent port and effects an interconnection for communications via the first non-transparent port is provided. The communication apparatus includes a second interconnecting unit that includes a second non-transparent port communicably connected to the first non-transparent port. The second interconnecting unit effects an interconnection for communications via the second non-transparent port. The second interconnecting unit performs, when the communication apparatus carries out communications to and from the external apparatus, address translation between an address for use by the communication apparatus and an address for use by the second non-transparent port.

A disclosed optical scanning device includes a light beam generating unit configured to generate a light beam; a light beam deflecting unit configured to receive the light beam and deflect/emit the light beam with a deflecting mirror; a light beam ON/OFF control unit configured to control the light beam generating unit so that the light beam deflected by the light beam deflecting unit is turned ON/OFF in a particular light beam scanning region while the light beam is being reciprocally scanned; and a light beam scanning time measuring unit configured to obtain a measurement value by measuring a time at which the light beam passes a reference point provided on an edge part of the entire light beam scanning region that is away from a center part of the entire light beam scanning region. Timings at which the light beam is turned ON/OFF are controlled in accordance with the measurement value.
