Abstract
An apparatus for assembling components of a color optical scanner subassembly which includes a first filter member, a second filter member and a photosensor unit. The apparatus includes an imaging means for impinging an imaging light beam from a line object onto the first and second filter assemblies for producing spatially separated color component images of the line object on the photosensor unit. The apparatus also includes a physical adjustment assembly for holding and selectively adjusting the relative position of the first filter member, the second filter member and the photosensor unit in response to data signals generated by the photosensor unit. This positioning accurately locates the filter members relative to the photosensor unit for optimizing performance of the color optical scanner.
