ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE An electrophotographic copying apparatus of the electrostatic latent image transfer type has a reciprocat- ingly movable platform on which an original to be copied is placed. A rotatable photoreceptor drum is disposed below the platform and has a photosensitive surface onto which an image of the original is projected. A corona charging device is disposed around the drum for applying charges uniformly onto the drum. An image of the original is projected through an exposure slit so as to form an electrostatic latent image on the photosensitive surface. The thus formed latent image is transferred onto a copying paper sheet. The copying paper sheet is separated from the drum, and residual charges are erased from the drum. The image transfer mechanism is shifted between a first position in which it is out of contact with the drum and a second position in which it is in contact with the drum. The image transfer mechanism is shifted from its first to its second position upon detection of the arrival of a copying paper sheet at a predetermined location. The platform is normally locked against movement, but is released to allow movement upon such detection.
