Adjustable Mirror Motor Mounting for Laser Printhead

摘要

A scan unit printhead of an imaging device having an adjustable mirror mounting. The scan unit includes a housing to which a rotatable minor, one or more light sources and an optical assembly are secured. The scan unit also includes a motor for driving the rotatable mirror, a plurality of fasteners for securing the motor to the housing and a plurality of spacers interposed between a base associated with the motor and the housing. The plurality of spacers resiliently bias the base of the motor away from the housing such that each of the plurality of spacers allows relative adjustment of a space between the base of the motor and the housing during a tightening and loosening operation of at least one of the to plurality of fasteners.
