The originals P placed on the original placing table 3 serving as an original placing portion are separated one by one by a sheet feeding roller 4 and a separating roller 5 as conveying means which rotate in the directions of the arrows. 7, the conveyor belt 8 and the like send the image to the reading unit. In the reading section, when the document P passes through the transparent glass 13, it is illuminated by the illumination lamp 11 and is imaged on the microfilm F by the lens 10 in the camera C through the optical path constituted by the reflection mirror 12 and the like. . When the document P is sent to the reading unit, the leading edge and the trailing edge of the document P are detected by a document detection sensor S as a document detection unit such as an optical sensor, and the signal is used to drive the film F in the camera C as a recording unit. Also, the opening / closing timing of the shutter G is controlled.

FIG. 1A is a partial detailed view of the present invention. In FIG. 1A, the width regulating guide 1 and the sensor mounting plate 2 are integrally formed, and the document detecting sensor S is a tip of the sensor mounting plate 2. It is provided inside the width regulation guide 1. The width regulation guide 1 can be freely moved in the direction of arrow A according to the width of the document, and by moving the width regulation guide 1, the sensor mounting plate 2 and the document detection sensor S also move.

FIG. 3A shows the state of detection of the leading edge and the trailing edge when the original P having a long width is skewed, and FIG. 3B is the leading edge when the original P having a short width is skewed. And the state of detection of the rear end. As can be seen from this, the document detection sensor S moves in conjunction with the width regulation guide 1,
The original detection sensor S is arranged at the end portion in the width direction of the original regardless of the size of the original, and the leading edge and the rear edge can be accurately detected even when the original is skewed.

FIG. 4 shows a timing chart in the case where the original is obliquely fed. When the leading edge P ₁ of the original document P is detected by the original document detection sensor S ₁ , the microfilm F is driven at a speed synchronized with the original document P after T ₁ time, the camera shutter G is opened, and the original document P conveyed to the photographing section is conveyed. Image is photographed on the film F through the optical system. Also, the manuscript P
When the end portion P ₂ of the film is detected by the document detecting sensor S ₂ , the camera shutter G is closed after T ₂ time, the light to the film F is blocked, and the driving of the film F is stopped.

After the sensor S ₁ detects the leading edge P ₁ of the original P, the time T is made slightly shorter (t ₁ hour) than the time when the original P reaches the predetermined position of the reading section.
Further, after the sensor S ₂ detects the trailing edge P _{2 of the} document P,
By making the time T slightly (t ₂ hours) longer than the time when the document P comes to the predetermined position of the reading unit, the image of the document P is properly captured on the film F, and the images of the documents captured before and after the image are captured. The distance from the image is also properly set.

In this case, the positions P ₁ ′ and P ₂ ′ detected by the sensors S ₁ and S ₂ are actually slightly inside the leading edge P ₁ and the trailing edge P ₂ of the document, but P _{1 with} respect to the document feeding direction. And P ₁ ′ and P ₂ and P ₂ ′ are very small, P
There is no problem in thinking that ₁ and P ₂ are detected. Therefore, even if the document is fed at an angle, the leading and trailing edges are photographed without vignetting.

The document detection sensors S ₁ and S ₂ provided in the document detection unit are not at proper positions where the leading edge and the trailing edge of the document can be accurately detected. Therefore, the placed document detecting sensors R ₁ and R provided in the document placing section 1
Unless ₂ is detecting both originals, even if the originals are fed for shooting, they are not fed.

FIG. 8 shows a case where the width regulation guide 1 is abutted against the original P. In this case, since the placed original detection sensors R ₁ and R ₂ detect the original, the original detection sensor S is detected. Since it can be determined that ₁ and S ₂ are arranged at proper positions with respect to the document P, the photographing operation can be performed in this state.

As described above, the width regulating guide 1 is also provided on the document placing portion.
By providing a document detection sensor that moves in tandem with, it is possible to determine whether the document detection sensor provided in the document detection unit is in the proper position, and if it is not in the proper position, do not shoot. .
