Abstract
A multi-mode apparatus for electrophotographically reproducing electronically generated information or information obtained optically from a document. This apparatus comprises a photoconductive belt mounted for movement about a closed loop path through electrophotographic process stations. A light emitting component, associated with the photoconductive belt, produces light images from electronically generated signals. Further, a mechanism, associated with the photoconductive belt, supports a lamp and a lens assembly for movement relative to a transparent document-supporting platen of the apparatus. Movement of the photoconductive belt and the supporting mechanism are controlled whereby during optical reproduction, the belt is held stationary while the supporting mechanism is moved to expose the belt to a light image of a document on such platen, and on reproduction of electronically generated information, the belt is moved past the light emitting component.
