Abstract:
A multifunction device for quick execution of functions thereof includes a processing module, and a scanning unit, a user interface and an output module, all of which are connected to the processing module. The scanning unit performs image acquisition on an original to generate a scan image signal representative of an image of the original. The user interface includes a display unit and an operation interface. The display unit displays a representation image of the scan image signal. The operation interface receives a user input. After the representation image is displayed, the processing module receives a user setting signal containing user input information from the operation interface and generates an output signal according to the user setting signal and the scan image signal. The output module outputs an output result corresponding to the output signal.
Abstract:
An apparatus for displaying and storing scan images includes an image capturing module, a processor module and a display module. The image capturing module captures N images of N pages of a document and generates corresponding N sets of image data, where N is a positive integer greater than 2. The processor module, coupled to the image capturing module, controls the image capturing module, processes the N sets of image data and generates corresponding storage image data and M representation images of M of the N images, where M is a positive integer less than N. The display module, coupled to the processor module, displays the M representation images after the storage image data are stored in a memory device connected to the apparatus. A method for displaying and storing the scan images is also disclosed.
Abstract:
A sheet feeding device, for transporting a sheet into a transporting path in an image processing apparatus, includes an elastic pad and a feeding roller for feeding the sheet. The elastic pad is bent and disposed opposite the feeding roller and applies an acting force to the feeding roller to separate the sheet from a stack of sheets by cooperating with the feeding roller. The elastic pad has a first side and an opposite second side. The second side is formed with a groove. The elastic pad is bent at an angle at the groove.
Abstract:
A method for merging images comprises the following steps: displaying representative images of a first form image and a first ID image; according to a user input determining a position value of the first ID image relative to the first form image and storing the position value; and according to the position value merging a second ID image and one of the first form image and a second form image into a merged image. The present invention also provides an image-processing apparatus for presetting output layouts and merging images.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a feeding mechanism and an image processing apparatus using the same. The feeding mechanism includes an upper casing, a lower casing disposed opposite the upper casing, a sheet tray, a main feeding roller, a sheet-separation member and a first auxiliary roller. The upper casing and the lower casing form a transporting path. The sheet tray for loading a sheet is coupled with the lower casing. The main feeding roller for feeding the sheet in a feeding direction is disposed in the lower casing. The sheet-separation member, disposed at a downstream position of the main feeding roller with respect to the feeding direction, separates the sheet from another sheet. The first auxiliary roller is disposed in the lower casing and on a lateral side of the main feeding roller for feeding the sheet in the feeding direction.
Abstract:
An automatic sheet feeder includes a sheet passageway, an opening formed in the sheet passageway and a sheet transporting mechanism. The sheet transporting mechanism transports a sheet through the sheet passageway. The sheet transporting mechanism includes a first transporting assembly and a second transporting assembly, which is disposed downstream of the first transporting assembly. The first transporting assembly transports the sheet to the opening at a first speed, and the second transporting assembly transports the sheet away from the opening at a second speed higher than the first speed. A scan apparatus using the automatic sheet feeder is also disclosed.
Abstract:
A scanner includes a platen assembly, a sheet feeder and a scanning module. The platen assembly and the sheet feeder are combined together to form a non-linear paper path. The paper path has a scan region. The sheet feeder includes a feeding mechanism, a transporting mechanism and a discharging mechanism. The feeding mechanism feeds a document into the paper path. The transporting mechanism transports the document from the feeding mechanism to the scan region. The document is transported past the scan region in a direction substantially parallel to a scan plane in the scan region. The discharging mechanism transports the document out of the paper path from the scan region. The scanning module movably disposed in the platen assembly acquires an image of the document transported past the scan region.
Abstract:
A scanning device includes a transparent platen, a scanning module, a document transporting mechanism and a flexible pressing member. The scanning module is located in a scan zone and acquires through the transparent platen an image of a document. The document transporting mechanism transports the document along a passageway and across the scan zone. The flexible pressing member is disposed in the passageway, upstream of the scan zone or within the scan zone and located apart from the transparent platen by a gap. The flexible pressing member is deformed in a direction away from the transparent platen due to a force applied by the document transported across the scan zone.
Abstract:
A scanning device with multiple LED light sources and an application thereof. The scanning device includes a housing, a chassis, a main LED light source and an auxiliary LED light source. A horizontal plane of the housing is connected to a sloped plane of the housing to form a connecting section. The main LED light source has a length extending in a longitudinal direction substantially perpendicular to a moving direction of the chassis. The main LED light source provides a main light ray to illuminate the horizontal plane, and includes a first circuit board mounted on the chassis and first LEDs mounted on the first circuit board. The auxiliary LED light source includes a second circuit board mounted on the chassis and a second LED mounted on the second circuit board. The second LED provides an auxiliary light ray to illuminate the connecting section.
Abstract:
An apparatus for reproducing document images is provided. The apparatus includes an image-capturing device, a processing module, an operation interface and an image-output device. The image-capturing device captures a first-side image and a second-side image of a first sheet of a document and produces first-side image data and second-side image data correspondingly. The processing module receives the first-side image data and second-side image data and determines whether the image data contain a blank image. The processing module processes the image data contains a non-blank image into image reproduction data. The image-output device receives the image reproduction data and outputs a corresponding image.
