Abstract
An electrophotographic machine includes a mirror having a reflective surface with a fold line configured to reflect a laser beam. At least one fixed mounting device is provided having a support surface. At least one rotational device is attached to the mirror. The at least one rotational device has an arcuate surface defining an imaginary circle and engages the support surface of the at least one fixed mounting device. The imaginary circle has a center substantially coincident with the fold line of the reflective surface. The at least one rotational device is configured to rotate about the center of the imaginary circle to thereby rotate the mirror about the fold line.
