Abstract
A glass pane on which an original is placed and a focusing lens are stationary in the space of a copying machine. An original to be copied is placed on the glass pane in planar form. A pair of reflecting mirrors disposed on the image side of the focusing lens successively reflect exposing light flux from the focusing lens to pass it onto an exposure station on the photosensitive member. The surface of the photosensitive member moves in a given direction at a uniform rate while the pair of reflecting mirrors move in independent directions to achieve a slitwise exposure of the photosensitive member at a given location.
