Shading board for copying apparatus

摘要

In an electrophotographic copying apparatus, reflected light from an original subject is directed to a light receiving means, such as a photoconductive drum, through a slit. The apparatus includes an optical device, for example a zoom lens, positioned between the original subject and the photoconductive drum for varying the size of the optical image being passed through the slit. A shading board fixed adjacent to the photoconductive drum extends along a longitudinal direction of the optical image.
