Abstract
Structure for reproducing a copy from an original by driving an original past a light source and light sensors to develop signals in the sensors representative of intelligence on the original which it is desired to copy, driving a copy member past printers in synchronization with the driving of the original and actuating the printers in accordance with the signals sensed by the sensors. The sensors and printers are modular. Amplifiers may be provided between the sensors and the printers, and signals from the sensors may be stored prior to printing in response thereto. The reproduction may be different in size than the original and/or in color.
