Abstract

A document handling apparatus, for use with a machine to copy either thin or thick documents includes two pairs of cooperating rollers 16a, 16b, 17a, 17b located on top of the machine; these feed thin documents past an illuminating station 24. A carriage 14 for supporting a thin or thick document is also located on top of the machine. For copying a thick document or for making multiple copies of a thick or thin document, the two pairs of rollers move out of the path of the carriage which travels across the illuminating station. The carriage is centered on its home position by a cam which is part of a slider bracket supporting structure, manually or automatically raised and lowered. The rollers and the carriage are independently driven by the main motor of the machine. Controls prevent the carriage from travelling too far in either direction and from moving when the rollers are in its path. <IMAGE>
