Abstract
A copier having a stationary document glass and a scanning illumination/optics mechanism. The illumination/optics mechanism reciprocates through a linear scan motion and a reverse-direction reset motion during a copy process cycle. A moving photoconductor is connected to move the scanning mechanism in a scanning direction for a first part of the photoconductor movement, and to move the mechanism in the opposite reset direction during a second part of the photoconductor movement. Rotary-to-reciprocating harmonic motion mechanism couples the photoconductor's motion to the scanning mechanism to move the mechanism through the scan and reset motion.
