ABSTRACT:
A focussing optical fiber array is disposed between an original document carrier and a photosensitive member such as a photoconductive sheet to focus an image of a linear portion of an original document onto the sheet. A reflector means comprising a plurality of mirrors or prisms is provided between the optical fiber array and the sheet. The reflector means provides an inverted image by reflecting the image an odd number of times which is at least three times. The reflector means reflects the image onto the sheet parallel to the axis of the optical fiber array. A drive means produces relative scanning movement between the document carrier, optical fiber array and sheet.
