Abstract

The apparatus comprises a driving mechanism for reciprocating a slider having a contact glass thereon, and a rotation control member which is associated with the driving mechanism and which makes one rotation per two rotations of a photoconductor drum and one reciprocating cycle of the slider. Through the rotation control member, a copying process can be controlled in association with the rotations of the photoconductor drum. The slider can be reciprocated freely when the copying machine is not in operation by the present known slider reciprocating driving apparatus. A stopper for stopping the forward movement of the slider without causing any adverse shock is provided.
