Abstract
Reader-writer apparatus includes a common drive roller having a primary axis of rotation lying in a plane which divides a reading region from a writing region and a read follower roller positioned operatively opposite the common drive roller, has an axis of rotation parallel to the primary axis of rotation and is disposed on the read side of the region dividing plane; also, there is a similar write follower roller operatively opposite the common drive roller which has an axis parallel to the primary drive axis and is disposed on the write side of the region dividing plane. A master document feeder is positioned on the read side of the plane to guide a master document between the common drive roller and the read follower to a read site while a master document accepter also on the read side of the region dividing plane accepts a master document passing from the read site. There is also a copy medium feeder on the write side of the plane to guide a copy medium between the common drive roller and the write follower roller to a write site and from the write site to a copy medium accepter also on the write region of the plane. A master document scanner in the read site is positioned to read documents passing through the site and a copy medium recorder on the write region of the plane is disposed in the write site to print on copy medium passing thereby.
