A high-resolution LED print head developed by Fuji Xerox has won the Imaging Society of Japan’s Technology Award this month. The LED print head, with self-scanning light emitting device, is incorporated into Fuji Xerox’s colour multifunction devices and colour printers.
The development of a 1,200 dpi self-scanning LED together with a dedicated ASIC (application-specific integrated circuit) has overcome the issues presented by conventional LED print heads and also has realized high resolution, according to Fuji Xerox.The Imaging Society of Japan, in presenting the award, recognised the contribution of Fuji Xerox’s LED print head to the advancement of electrophotographic technology.
Fuji Xerox first incorporated this LED print head in four models of its full–colour digital multifunction devices launched in 2007 including ApeosPort–III C3300/C2200, DocuCentre–III C3300/C2200, the colour printer DocuPrint C2250 as well as the full–colour digital multifunction devices ApeosPort–III C3305 and C2205 launched in 2008.
Fuji Xerox says its LED print head has dramatically reduced its size and weight compared to others systems allowing more room for a device’s paper ejection.
