Abstract
A laser beam sensor assembly in an electrophotographic machine includes a sensor device detecting a position of a laser beam in a process direction. The sensor device has a detection range in the process direction. The sensor device has at least one slot or at least one projection. A fixed structure has an other of the at least one slot and the at least one projection. The at least one slot and the at least one projection coact to allow the sensor device to slide in the process direction to a location such that the laser beam is at a desired position within the detection range of the sensor device.
