An apparatus for assembling components of a color optical scanner subassembly which includes a first filter member, a second filter member and a photosensor unit. The apparatus includes an imaging means for impinging an imaging light beam from a line object onto the first and second filter assemblies for producing spatially separated color component images of the line object on the photosensor unit. The apparatus also includes a physical adjustment assembly for holding and selectively adjusting the relative position of the first filter member, the second filter member and the photosensor unit in response to data signals generated by the photosensor unit. This positioning accurately locates the filter members relative to the photosensor unit for optimizing performance of the color optical scanner.
An apparatus for assembling components of a color optical scanner subassembly which includes a first filter member, a second filter member and a photosensor unit comprising:
A method for adjusting the relationship between components of a color optical scanner subassembly comprising first and second laterally extending composite filter members and a photosensor unit having a plurality of parallel, laterally extending, linear photosensor arrays provided in a common image plane thereon, prior to assembly of the optical scanner, comprising the steps of:
