Abstract
A carriage carrying a plurality of scanners passes on a housing underneath an image-bearing master so as to produce three color-component beams that are each reflected through a set of mirrors onto a respective location on an image-receiving electrostatic drum. Each set of mirrors has at least one mirror that is displaceable so that the overall path length from the master to the drum remains the same and the image is picked off the master at an angle which is equal to the angle with which it is cast onto the image drum. Furthermore, the distance between the locations on the master from which the images are picked up is equal to the rectified arc length between the locations on the drum where the image is cast.
