ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for mounting a scanner along a paper path in an electrostatographic printing machine for permitting scanning of an information bearing code from a copy sheet traveling in a process direction of travel through the paper path. The scanner mounting apparatus includes a a slidable support platform, for permitting slidable movement of the scanner in a direction transverse to the process direction of travel of a copy sheet, the slidable support platform further having a rotatable housing mounted thereto for permitting rotational movement of the optical scanner in a plane parallel to the copy sheet. The freedom of movement provided by the combination of the slidable support platform and the rotatable housing cooperate to provide a mounting which permits selective positioning of the scanner for proper alignment with the information bearing bar code independent of its location on the copy sheet, while further permitting selective orientation of the scanner for proper orientation with the information bearing bar code independent of its orientation on the copy sheet.
