ABSTRACT:
A compact scan document system is enabled by adding motion to the scanning and projection components used in a folded optical system. A general and preferred velocity relationship is set for the system optical elements and a mechanical drive arrangement is disclosed which enable the specific ratios required.
In a preferred embodiment, a pulley/belt system is used to provide four velocities such that a document is scanned at a first velocity V, the document image is reflected to a folding mirror arrangement traveling at 0.75 V and projected by a lens moving at a 0.5 V velocity to a photoreceptor image plane via another folding mirror arrangement moving at a 0.25 V ratio.
