1. A printer apparatus comprising:
a media support attached to the printer apparatus at a media-support attachment point;
a printhead having an array of print elements configured to print sequential segments of an image on corresponding sequential segments of a print media, wherein the array of print elements define a lateral print axis;
a platen roller configured to advance the print media when printing the sequential segments; and
a verifier that is configured to verify a print output by the printer apparatus based on a digital representation of print output of the printer apparatus, the verifier comprising a verifier-coupling that is configured to engage, at least in part by a magnetic force, with a printer-coupling in the printer apparatus, wherein the verifier further comprises an image sensor having an array of photo sensors configured to capture the digital representation of the print output of the printer apparatus, wherein the print output of the printer apparatus comprises at least a portion of the sequential segments of the image printed on the print media, and wherein the magnetic force is configured such that it aligns the array of photo sensors to a fixed scanning position relative to the array of print elements.
