ABSTRACT:
The apparatus has separate original placing stations for producing copies of an original which is bulky, as in the form of a book, and of an original which is in sheet form. In one of these two original placing stations the original remains stationary and is illuminated by a slit illuminating device which is reciprocated, while, in the other original placing station the original is moved and a slit illuminating device remains stationary to effect illumination of the original. Separate slit illuminating devices can be used for the two separate original placing stations, or a common slit illuminating device can be used for the two original placing stations. Even when separate illuminating devices are used, part of the optical system and a photosensitive member are used in common with the two stations. In the original placing station wherein the original remains stationary, copies of sizes different from the size of the original can be produced by varying the rate of movement of the slit illuminating device and the optical path length of the optical system. In the original placing station wherein the original is moved, copies of sizes different from the size of the original can be produced by varying the original feed speed and the optical path length of the optical system.
