ABSTRACT:
An imaging apparatus includes a controller executing instructions to form a latent image, and a print engine. The print engine includes a laser source, a micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) device, and a module for mounting the MEMS device. The print engine is communicatively coupled to the controller and configured to form the latent image using the laser source and the MEMS device. The module includes a base having a first support and a second support, the second support having a support guide feature; and a bracket attached to the MEMS device. The bracket has a central axis, a first end, and a second end, the second end having a bracket guide feature, the first end being affixed to the first support to form a cantilever arrangement. The support guide feature engages the bracket guide feature to form a sliding joint having a sliding axis substantially parallel to the central axis.
