Abstract
An arrangement is disclosed for combining the capability for bound document copying with a document handling apparatus in a reproduction machine. To this end, an arrangement is devised wherein the document handling apparatus is contained within a frame which contains a light-tight cover for bound documents having three-dimensional shape. The arrangement includes a pivoting connection between the document handling apparatus and the frame relative to the platen of the reproduction machine and between each other so as to permit access to the platen for manual document placement and bound document copying.
