III. SCANNING DRIVE SYSTEM
A. Driving the Scanner

1. Outline

The scanner drive system is driven by the scanner motor (M2). The scanner motor
changes the direction of its rotation between when the scanner moves forward and when
it moves in reverse; the speed of its rotation varies according to the selected
reproduction ratio. However, the speed of its rotation remains constant regardless of the
reproduction ratio when the scanner is moving in reverse; 2. 5 times as fast as when the
scanner is moving forward.
The distance traveled by the scanner varies according to the length of copy paper
and the selected reproduction ratio.
