Abstract
An apparatus for adjusting the position of a cylindrical image carrier relative to a scanning head is designed to cheaply and easily permit substantially reliable positioning. In the apparatus for adjusting the position of a cylindrical image carrier relative to a scanning head, in which apparatus the image carrier is mounted so as to be rotatable around its longitudinal axis, the image carrier can be swiveled around an axis perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. The invention can be applied to devices that generate images and to devices that reproduce images, in particular for the production of type forms and for the scanning of originals.
