Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0827829A1] Image scanning apparatus comprises an elongate image support (1) having a curved cross-section. A scanning system (7-10) is positioned radially inwardly of the support for scanning a radiation beam (11) in a circumferential direction across a record medium (2) on the support. Relative movement is caused between the support and the scanning system parallel with an axis of the support. At least one pair of axially extending resilient baffles (12-16) is mounted on axially opposed sides of the scanning system and extends close to the support to as to impede radiation reflected by a record medium on the support impinging on another part of the record medium. <IMAGE>
