  • Facsimile and similar apparatus employing a plurality of solid-state image scanners
    Patent number: 4358794
    Abstract: Appearance of joints between partly overlapping picture signal segments from a plurality of solid-state image scanners can be effectively avoided by means of automatically phase-setting the scan start signals for the respective image scanners relative to each other so that the logical sum signal of the marker signals contained in the respective signal segments is minimized in width. The marker as a source of the marker signals is fixedly arranged on the original-copy supporting table or separately therefrom in the region of overlap of the scan ranges of adjacent image scanners.
