Hello everyone,

Could anyone tell me what the specs ( mW output, voltage in etc) are for a red laser used in an analogue reader?

thanks, Jon [Smile]

There are too many variables involved so it is one of those items one should just buy the direct replacement

Hi Jonathan!

There are about 5-6mW, 5-10V, 650nm lasers.....with appropriate lenses to get uniformity over slit.....but all reverse scan systems uses led's!
