International ClassH04M 001/04Foreign Application Priority Data1986-06-12 JPAbstractA small-sized copying apparatus has a housing (1). As the housing (1) is moved, an image data-reading circuit (15, 56, 57, 58) receives the light reflected from an original illuminated by a light source (11), and the image data obtained from the light is written into memory (60). Further, as the housing (1) is manually moved, the image data stored in the memory (60) is printed by means of a printing device (21, 65). Any desired reading width over which an image is to be read by the reading circuit (15, 56, 57, 58) can be electronically and/or mechanically designated by designating means (10a, 10c, 61, 63, 64, 64a, 64b). | |
