<p>An electrophotographic imaging apparatus includes a plurality of photoconductive drums (12) and a plurality of printhead assemblies (10). Each drum has an axis of rotation (16) and a photoconductive peripheral surface (22). A plurality of the axes of rotation of the drums lie in a generally common plane (64). The peripheral surface of each drum rotates in a common direction defining an advance direction (24) of the print medium. Adjacent drums are disposed at a first distance away from each other between the axes of rotation. Each printhead assembly is associated with a respective drum and is configured for generating a laser beam (46) which impinges upon the respective drum along a line of incidence (50). The printhead assemblies are disposed at a second distance from one to another which is greater than the first distance.</p> |
