Abstract:
A scanner includes a reference backing member, a scan assembly and a light-obstruction member. The scan assembly, disposed opposite the reference backing member, scans a reference block of the reference backing member and an original block of an original in a scan region. The scan assembly includes a light source for emitting a first light beam in a direction toward the reference block, and emitting a second light beam in a direction toward the original block. The light-obstruction member, disposed between the reference backing member and the scan assembly, includes a light-obstruction part, disposed in a first optical path of the first light beam and outside a second optical path of the second light beam, for blocking a portion of the first light beam from reaching the reference block.
Abstract:
A sheet transporting apparatus includes a housing, a rotating shaft, a roller and a gear assembly. The housing includes a first supporting member and a second supporting member. The rotating shaft is rotatably mounted in the housing. The rotating shaft has a first end portion mounted in the first supporting member, and a second end portion mounted in the second supporting member. The roller is attached to the rotating shaft and rotated by the roller to transport a document sheet. The gear assembly, coupled to the second end portion, transmits power to the rotating shaft. The gear assembly includes a gear member and a coupling member, rotatable with the gear member, for securing the second end portion to the second supporting member.
Abstract:
An image capturing apparatus includes a housing, a processor module, a sheet feeder, an image capturing assembly, a display module and an operation interface. The image capturing assembly captures both of first and second images of a document sheet, past a scan region and transported by the sheet feeder, and produces first and second image data representative of the first and second images in either a single-sided or double-sided scanning mode. The display module displays representation images of the first and second images. The operation interface receives user input and outputs a selection signal comprising information of selecting at least one of the first and second images. The processor module processes at least one of the first and second image data into output image data according to the selection signal.
