A scanning imaging system in which the viewing and reproduction functions are integrated into a single scanning head. The scanning system is economical in terms of cost and function, and is useful in many applications such as modem, photocopier and even photographic technologies.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION The present invention provides for a scanning imaging system in which the elements necessary for object viewing (the radiation source and detector) and the element for image reproduction (the reproduction element) are combined.
With the combination of these elements, both reading and reproduction functions can be performed at the same time in one scanning operation.
Besides the savings in operation time from image reading to reproduction, the present invention provides for savings in space and number of parts for a compact and low cost system.
The system consumes less power since the scanning operation is performed once for both reading and reproduction functions.
Applications of the present invention include facsimile machines and photocopy machines which are highly compact and low-cost.
For example, the present invention permits photocopy machines which are not required to employ expensive stepper motors or encoders for the scanning operation.
Simple D.
C.
motors, mechanical springs and even manual power are sufficient.
Still another application is electronic photography.
Thus the uses for the present invention are many.
