Picture information reading apparatus.

摘要

An information reader has a number of linear image sensors (1, 1213) dividing one line of picture information into as many parts for reading an original. As these sensors may be relatively shifted in the subscanning directions, signal delay devices (711 733) are provided coresponding to the sensors for delaying a read out signal by an amount corresponding to the respective shift of the image sensors. The invention removes severe constraints on the placement and alignment of the sensors, facilitating installation and maintenance.
