Imaging module mounting apparatus

An imaging module mounting apparatus for minimizing distortion of images created by the module, comprising:

• a frame;
• means for rigidly supporting the module to said frame, wherein said rigid supporting means comprises at least three rigid elements connecting the module to said frame;
• and
• means for movably supporting the module to said frame, said movable supporting means being variably flexible in response to different frequency rates of movement between the module and said frame so as to minimize misregistration and distortion of an image due to module distortion.

An imaging module mounting apparatus for minimizing distortion of images created by the module, comprising:

• a frame;
• means for rigidly supporting the module to said frame, wherein said rigid supporting means comprises at least three rigid elements connecting the module to said frame;
• and
• means for movably supporting the module to said frame, wherein said movable supporting means comprises a variably flexible mounting element connecting the module to said frame, said element functioning as a flexible member with regard to low-frequency rates of movement and said element functioning as a fixed member with regard to high-frequency rates of movement so as to minimize misregistration and distortion of an image due to module distortion.

An electrophotographic printing machine of the type having an imaging module mounted therein, wherein the improvement comprises:

• a frame;
• means for rigidly supporting the module to said frame;
• and
• means for movably supporting the module to said frame, said movable supporting means being variably flexible in response to different frequency rates of movement between the module and said frame so as to minimize misregistration and distortion of an image due to module distortion.
