    Abstract: A duplex scan indicative scanner includes a sheet passage, a transporting mechanism, one single scanning module, a duplex indicator and a connection interface. The transporting mechanism transports a document past the sheet passage. The scanning module scans a first side of the document passing through the sheet passage. The connection interface is electrically connected to an electronic device, the duplex indicator, the transporting mechanism and the scanning module. After the electronic device has controlled, through the connection interface, the scanning module to scan the first side, the electronic device controls, through the connection interface, the duplex indicator to output a duplex indication message to guide a user to place the document or a second document, so that a second side of the document or the second document is scanned by the scanning module. A duplex scan indicative scanning apparatus and a duplex scan indicative scanning method are also provided.

    Abstract: An image capturing apparatus includes a first image capturing module, a first control module, a second image capturing module and a second control module. When the first control module is electrically connected to an external apparatus or the second control module, the first control module is for transmitting a first image captured by the first image capturing module to the external apparatus or the second control module. When the second control module is electrically connected to the first control module and the external apparatus, the second control module is for transmitting the first image transmitted from the first control module or a second image captured by the second image capturing module to the external apparatus. Therefore, the present application can provide flexibility in use.

    Abstract: A toner level detector includes a toner cartridge, an agitator, a reflective region, a first cleaner, a second cleaner and a transceiver. The toner cartridge stores toner, and has a light-permeable region. The agitator rotatably disposed in the toner cartridge agitates the toner. The reflective region is disposed on the agitator. The first cleaner is disposed on the agitator. The second cleaner is disposed on the toner cartridge. The transceiver disposed on a body outside the toner cartridge outputs an emitting signal to the reflective region through the light-permeable region. The reflective region reflects the emitting signal to generate a reflective signal received by the transceiver through the reflective region. The rotating first cleaner intermittently cleans the fixed light-permeable region, and the fixed second cleaner intermittently cleans the rotating reflective region.

    Abstract: An electronic device for aligning orientations of scanning images includes a scanning module, a storage module, an identification module, a timing unit, an alignment module, and a control unit. The control unit controls the scanning module to scan N scanned objects at different times and to store N scanning images corresponding to the N scanned objects into the storage module. The control unit controls the identification module to identify orientations of the N scanning images. The control unit controls the timing unit to calculate time intervals among the N scanning images. The control unit determines whether to control the alignment module to align orientations of a second scanning image to an Nth scanning image of the N scanning images with orientation of a first scanning image of the N scanning images according to the time intervals among the N scanning images calculated by the timing unit.
