Abstract:
An electrophotographic printer/copier comprising:a frame; a drum assembly including a rotatably mounted drum having a photosensitive outer layer upon which a plurality of work stations operate to produce an image; an optical writer for projecting a rectilinear line of image information onto the drum's photoconductive surface as the drum rotates; a pair of mechanical fiducials mounted on the frame, each fiducial being engaged by both the drum assembly and the optical writer to locate such assembly and the writer on the frame; means for pivotally mounting a first end of the optical writer on one of the mechanical fiducials for pivotal movement thereabout; means for slidably mounting a second end of the optical writer for sliding movement atop the other mechanical fiducial, whereby the skew of an image line projected onto the drum surface by the optical writer is readily adjustable; and means for slidably advancing the second end of the optical writer atop said other mechanical fiducial and for clamping said second end at a desired location on the second fiducial.
