ABSTRACT:
An apparatus, such as an electronic scanning camera, for use in conjunction with an electrophotographic reproduction device, such as a copier, recorder or printer, is provided for making reproductions of images from at least two separate and distinct image informational light paths. The light projected or reflected, from said paths, is received by an appropriate lens system, of the electronic scanning camera, for directing the light to a common image pickup member, such as a charge-coupled device. A pivotal mirror located within the electronic scanning camera has a first position removed from at least a first path. In a second position, the mirror is pivoted such that image light transmitted along a path, other than the first path, is directed, by reflection from the mirror, to the charge-coupled device. In this second position, the back of the mirror blocks light, thereby preventing light transmitted from all but the path which the mirror is reflecting, from impacting on the charge-coupled device.
