    Abstract: A scanner is disclosed. The scanner has a flatbed glass and an ADF glass mounted to a top cover with a gap formed between the two glass pieces. The scanner has a scanner module that has an ADF scan position underneath the ADF glass and a flatbed scan position underneath the flatbed glass. When the scanner module is in the flatbed scan position the scanner module references the flatbed glass. The scanner module crosses the gap between the two glass pieces when the scanner module moves from the flatbed scan position to the ADF scan position. The scanner module is lowered away from the flatbed glass as the scanner module approaches and moves across the gap between the two glass pieces.

    Abstract: In one embodiment, an apparatus includes a transparent platen supported over an inside of a tub, an elongated member situated in the tub in a horizontal plane, a plurality of biasing members operatively connected to the elongated member, and a plurality of gap-maintaining members operable to connect to an image capture module and operatively connected to the platen. The elongated member is movable within a tub in a vertical plane, to movably support an image capture module in a horizontal plane. The biasing members are operable to urge the elongated member towards the platen. The gap-maintaining members are operable to maintain a constant distance between platen and an image capture module.

    Abstract: A method is disclosed for generating a calibration target on a medium. The method can include the operation of inserting the medium into a printer with a first orientation. A further operation can be printing a first calibration feature at a first lateral location on the medium. Another operation can be reinserting the medium into the printer with a second orientation rotated 180 degrees from the first orientation. A second calibration feature can be printed at a second lateral location on the medium.

    Abstract: A scan window cover assembly in an imaging system includes a document feed system convertible between a manual feed mode, in which individual documents are placed manually onto a scan bed, and an automatic feed mode, in which an automatic document feeder moves documents over a scan window. The scan window cover assembly includes a scan window cover capable of selectively covering the scan window of the imaging system when the imaging system is in its manual feed mode, and can also include a cover actuating mechanism connected to the scan window cover. The cover actuating mechanism is adapted and constructed to move the scan window cover between a covering position blocking the scan window, and an open position outside the scan window. In systems wherein the automatic document feeder pivots to change the imaging system between its automatic feed mode and its manual feed mode, the cover actuating mechanism can be provided to move the scan window cover in response to the pivoting of the automatic document feeder, for example, by causing the scan window cover to slide in response to pivoting of the automatic document feeder.

    Abstract: An image scanner is provided that includes a transparent platen for supporting a page during a scanning operation, an automatic document feeder and an apparatus for detecting if the page is present on the platen. The apparatus includes an indicium positioned above a predetermined area on the platen. In order to determine if a page is present on the platen, the predetermined area is scanned. If the indicium can be detected, then it is assumed that a page is not present on the platen. If, however, the indicium is not detected, then it is assumed that a page is present on the platen and the user may then be notified.

    Abstract: A first embodiment of an illumination source including red LEDs, green LEDs, and blue LEDs provides illumination for a scanner. The LEDs are arranged in an array to generate spectrally and spatially substantially uniform illumination on the surface of an object, such as printed media, which is to be scanned. The arrangement of LEDs includes a plurality of groups of three LEDs. Each group of LEDs includes a red LED, a green LED, and a blue LED. The LEDs of like colors are connected in series. Power is supplied to the three groups of series connected LEDs by three current sources. The three current sources are each configured to supply a constant current to one of the groups of series connected LEDs. Each current source supplies a magnitude of current so that the resulting light provides substantially uniform illumination on the printed media. A second embodiment of the illumination source includes LEDs that can each generate light having a substantially uniform energy spectrum over the range of visible light frequencies. A third embodiment of the illumination source includes a plurality of groups of four LEDs. Each of the groups of LEDs includes a red LED, a green LED, a blue LED, and a yellow LED.
