Abstract
An optical system is provided for a copying apparatus which includes a plurality of components whose displacements relative to each other can be made to yield differing magnification at an imaging plane. In particular, during a magnification mode a dual rate scanning mirror pair is displaced a fixed distance and a catadioptric lens is displaced an identical distance, from their normal 1x positions. A third mirror, located at the photoreceptor plane is displaced a second distance. The displacements are a function of the magnification, the lens focal length and the angular displacement of the lens. All displacements are parallel to the document plane, resulting in a compact scanning system.
