Apparatus for repositioning the lens of a variable-magnification electrophotographic copier to change the image-side path length for a different magnification ratio and for concomitantly adjusting the shutter to compensate for the changed image-side path length. Actuation of a stepper motor rotates a pulley to tension a cable coupled to the lens, pulling the lens to the desired position of a linear track. A portion of the cable extends around a pulley having an axially projecting circumferentially extending ramp on one face. A follower engaging the ramp is coupled to slit-forming members adjacent to the photoconductor so that movement of the cable to reposition the lens produces a concomitant adjustment of the width of the slit to equalize exposure of the photoconductor over a substantially continous range of selected magnifications. |
