Abstract
A document reproduction apparatus with an mounting mechanism for the document handler, which can be, for example, hinge/counter-balance mechanisms for supporting a document handler on the frame of the copier or other reproduction apparatus, in which the spacing of the document handler from the underlying imaging platen can be much more easily and accurately adjusted by the integral variable position adjustment mechanism including eccentrically faceted rotatable spacing cams. In the exemplary mechanism a first member for attachment to the document handler, is pivotally mounted about a pivot axis with a hinge pin to a second member for mounting to the frame of the copier, and has an adjustment system for adjusting the position of the first member relative to the pivot axis.
