I. OUTLINE OF OPERATION
A. Varying the Reproduction Ratio
The reproduction ratio in the axial direction of the drum is varied by the lens drive
system, while that in the peripheral direction of the drum is varied by the scanner drive
system and the main drive system.
The lens drive system uses a zoom lens, which varies the reproduction ratio in the
drum axial direction by changing the focal distance and the position of the lens as shown
in Figure 3-101.
The scanner drive system varies the reproduction ratio in the peripheral direction of
the drum by moving the No. mirror faster (for reduction) or slower (for enlargement).
Reference:
1. The copier will not move the mirror to suit any reproduction.
2. The peripheral speed of the drum is the same as the speed of the movement of
the mirror in Direct.
