Abstract
In a device for point-by-point and line-by-line scanning of masters chucked on scanner drums having different diameters with an optoelectronic scanner element, which converts the scan light modulated with the content of the master and focused with the scanner objective into an image signal, a scanner element comprising a reflected light illumination is provided for generating an illumination spot on an opaque original. The scanner objective for correction of the focusing of the scan light onto the scanner element given employment of scanner drums having different diameters—is seated displaceable on the optical axis of the scanner element into radial working positions determined by the diameter of the respective scanner drums. The reflected light illumination can be displaced in the direction of the optical axis by the focal intercept change of the scanner objective for the purpose of optimizing the illumination spot given employment of scanner drums of different sizes.
