摘要： A vibration reduction gear structure of an image input and output device includes a first gear supporting a second gear, and a vibration reduction portion made of vibration reduction material mounted on at least one of the first gear and the second gear. The other gear is rested on the vibration reduction portion. In such a manner, when the first gear and the second gear are rotated synchronously, the vibration between the first gear and the second gear may be reduced by the vibration reduction portion.

摘要： A scanning apparatus for scanning a bound document includes a scanning flatbed, a lighting device, and a scanning head assembly. The scanning flatbed includes a platen and an inclined plane, wherein the platen is adjoined with the inclined plane, and the platen supports a document to be scanned. The lighting device, facing the scanning flatbed, projects light onto the document, wherein the lighting device includes a first portion and a second portion, and the first portion and the second portion respectively comprise a plurality of LEDs arranged in an array. The scanning head assembly, coupled to the lighting device, scans the document. The first portion is located closer to the inclined plane than the second portion, and intervals between the LEDs of the first portion are smaller than intervals between the LEDs of the second portion.

摘要： A book scanner for scanning a book having first and second inner surfaces and a ridge. The scanner includes a transparent platen for supporting the first inner surface, a housing, and a scanning module. The housing has a housing platen for supporting the second inner surface, and the housing and transparent platen are connected to define a first angle smaller than 180 degrees. The module is moved along a direction parallel to the ridge to scan the first inner surface. The module includes a lighting device having first and second sections. The two sections define a second angle smaller than 180 degrees; and the second section has a second end, and a first end closer to a first plane containing the transparent platen than the second end. The bent second section may provide extra light rays to compensate the brightness and thus enhance the edge image quality.

摘要： A calibration mechanism of a scanner includes a second light source, a calibration element having an opening, a first light source and a scanning module. The second light source is assembled with the calibration element, and the first light source is disposed at a position opposite to the calibration element. During the shading correction, the calibration element is rotated by an angle so that the first light source illuminates on a surface of the calibration element, and the reflected light enters the scanning module. When a transmissive original is being scanned, the light of the second light source passes through the opening of the calibration element and the transmissive original, and then enters the scanning module.

摘要： An auto-lock mechanism to be mounted on an image input/output device includes a first swingable element and a second swingable element. When the image input/output device is not slantwise and an upper cover of the device is opened, one of the first and second swingable elements swings but does not hook the other of the first and second elements. When the image input/output device is slantwise, both of the first and second swingable elements simultaneously swing, approach and hook each other such that the upper cover remains closed and is free from detachment to hurt a user.

摘要： A scanning device capable of quickly starting scanning is placed on a base platform. The scanning device includes a housing, a glass platen, a scanning module, a control circuit and a scan-start unit. The housing has a top surface and a bottom surface. The glass platen, on which a to-be-scanned document is placed, is mounted on the top surface. The scanning module is movably installed within the housing to scan the to-be-scanned document. The control circuit controls the scanning module to proceed with a scan operation. The scan-start unit is electrically connected to the control circuit and mounted on the housing and in direct contact with the base platform. When a user applies a direct/indirect pressing force on the to-be-scanned document, the scanning module is triggered to start the scan operation.

摘要： In a digital copying apparatus with a smart fitting function, a scanning unit acquires a document image of a document to obtain a document image signal, a sheet size sensor senses a to-be-printed sheet placed in a sheet storage module and outputs a sheet size signal, and a control processing unit receives the document image signal and the sheet size signal and selectively executes auto-cropping, rotating, and/or scaling procedures according to the document image signal and the sheet size signal such that the processed document image signal fits to the sheet size signal. Then, a printing unit receives a printing signal coming from the control processing unit and prints a printed image on the to-be-printed sheet.
