PICTURE READER AND COPYING MACHINE

摘要

PURPOSE:To take completely the synchronism of each section with simple structure by providing a roller whose outer circumference is exposed from a main body and a detector detecting a rotating angle of the roller and providing a terminal from which an output of an optical sensor and an output of the detector are outputted. CONSTITUTION:A paper feed roller 12 clips a thermosensing paper sheet 10 with a heater on which lots of heating elements are arranged in a line. Since the thermoheating paper 10 is clipped with the paper feed roller 12 and the heater 13, the thermosensing paper 10 is carried by the paper feed roller 12. Since a signal obtained by the optical sensor 5 is transmitted to the heater 13 via a circuit device 16, the heater is heated according to the output of the optical sensor 5 and picture information is recorded on the thermosensing paper 10. The output of the optical sensor 5 and a rotary encoder 9 is outputted from an output terminal 17 via the circuit device 16 at the same time. Thus, the synchronism between the relative movement between an original and the optical sensor and the relative movement between a copying medium and a copying section is taken with simple structure.
