Compact copier and printer

A document platen for an electrostatographic reproduction apparatus which facilitates proper location of a document to be reproduced by such apparatus. In an electrostatographic reproduction apparatus having a planar member and a transparent member adapted to support a document to be reproduced by the apparatus, the planar member includes an opening defined in the planar member. Three corners of the opening have a rounded configuration and one corner defines a right angle. The transparent member is attached to the underside of the planar member so that the transparent member completely spans the opening. The right angle corner serves to direct an operator to properly place a document to be reproduced on the transparent member.
