Abstract

An arrangement for the mechanical coupling of physical units, such as, for example, of a printing assembly (15) of an electrophotographic printer or copier, to further physical units (23, 24) in axially parallel orientation with respect to the transport path of a recording carrier (12) includes a basic unit (28) containing especially the printing assembly (15) coupled in an articulated manner to a carrier (32), oriented vertically with respect to a machine frame (1), via a crossmember (30) which consists especially of two individual crossmember elements (301, 302). The physical units (23 or 24) to be arranged axially parallel with respect to the basic unit are then themselves articulated on the carrier (32) in paired receptacles (for example C1, C2).
