Abstract

In a full-frame, copying system, translucent registration guides along the edges of a platen area provide an operator with an indication of which portion of a document overlying the platen will be copied onto selected copy paper at the particular magnification ratio selected. Illumination sources located on the image side of a projection lens create line images which are projected through the lens to illuminate appropriate registration guides corresponding with the particular magnification ratio.
