ABSTRACT:
An improved flag-actuator (actuator) is provided for use in an electrophotographic marking system. This actuator is reversible providing sides1and2, thereby about doubling the useful life of the actuator. Each side1and2is mounted at different positions on a shaft and permits a much wider range of actuator adjustment than prior art units. Depending upon a tolerance stack-up within the marking system, the user can determine whether to use either side1or side2. The use of this reversible asymmetrical and eccentric actuator allows for the setting of start actuation for nearly double the tolerance stack-up.
