Abstract:
1. A guide for installing a photoconductive film on to a photo imaging plate comprising a cylindrical photo imaging plate, the guide comprising: a movable channel near the photo imaging plate, the channel having a bed and a pair of sidewalls extending parallel to one another along opposite sides of the bed such that lateral movement and skew of a photoconductive film lying on the bed is constrained by the sidewalls, and the channel movable between a first position in which an open end of the channel is away from the photo imaging plate and a second position in which the open end of the channel is immediately adjacent to and aligned with the photo imaging plate for installing a photoconductive film on to the photo imaging plate; and an alignment feature at a forward part of the channel, the alignment feature configured to align each sidewall in a plane that intersects the cylinder of the photo imaging plate at a right angle when the channel is in the second position.
