Hi, I picked up a data sheet from a trade show here that is copyright 95 by HP and describes a NEW reflective optical encoded for code wheels or strips. Incremental types with 70-75 lines per inch. Supplied in a SO-8 package with moulded in lenses and quadrature outputs. Obviously for all the new printer and scanner technologies.
