Abstract

An original drum and a recording drum are driven independently by individual synchronous motors. Encoders output respective rotation timing pulses (P.sub.a, P.sub.b) at every rotation of the recording drum and the original drum. If an interval separating the timing pulses (P.sub.a, P.sub.b) becomes smaller than a prescribed value, a scanning line deviation control circuit generates a motor control signal (T.sub.b) which interrupts the delivery of electrical power to the faster moving motor for a limited period such as to restore a correct relationship between the timing pulses.
