ABSTRACT:
A mounting assembly is described for mounting and housing printhead modules. The mounting assembly includes a lower plate, an upper plate and multiple mounting blocks. The lower plate can include openings configured to expose a surface of a printhead module housed within the mounting assembly, the surface including multiple ink nozzle openings. Each opening can include alignment datums to align the printhead module in a first direction and in a second direction. The upper plate is approximately parallel to the lower plate, and can include multiple openings configured to provide access to ink channels formed in printhead modules housed within the mounting assembly. The mounting blocks are positioned between and affixed to the lower and upper plates, and are configured to couple to a printhead module. Each mounting block can include a datum to align the printhead module in a third direction.
