Abstract
An optical document scanning method and apparatus having a driving system which drives each of the lens groups collectively forming the optical scanning apparatus in an optical axis direction to lens positions corresponding to a given designed-scanning magnification; and a detecting system which detects the actual scanning magnification of the optical scanning system at the lens positions corresponding to the given designed-scanning magnification, whereby to substantially match the actual scanning magnification to the given designed-scanning magnification, the driving system drives each of the lens groups in the optical axis direction by a given amount corresponding to any difference between the actual scanning magnification and the given designed-scanning magnification.
