Abstract
A laser printer of the type having predeflector components and postdeflector components is assembled by aligning the predeflector components on a bar and aligning the bar with a printer frame assembly having the postdeflector components in an alignment fixture. After the bar and printer frame have been aligned in the fixture, they are mechanically attached using flexures between the bar and the printer frame such that the bar and printer frame are constrained from moving relative to each other. Finally, the assembled components are removed from the alignment fixture.
