Abstract:
A document-reading device has a document-transporting mechanism that has a pick-up roller (R1) etc. and a document- reading mechanism that has a light source unit (6) etc. and reads an image of a document transported by the document-transporting mechanism. Operation of reading a surface (P1a) to be read of the document (P1) by the document-reading mechanism is continued when double transportation occurs in transporting a document (P1) to be read, or another document (P2) is additionally transported together with the document (P1) to be read, and simultaneously when the another document (P2) additionally transported is not positioned between the document (P1) to be read and the light source unit (6) (that is, the another document (P2) does not interrupt the surface (P1a) to be read of the document (P1) to be read).
Abstract:
A method of determining document characteristics prior to processing the document in a document scanner (10) includes capturing an input image of documents in an input tray (20); transmitting the images to a processor (65); determining characteristics of the documents; and processing the document based on the characteristics.
Abstract:
A small, compact multifunction printing device provides excellent ease of use with little possibility of slips and continuous paper jamming inside. The multifunction printer (1) has a check processing unit (2) and a continuous paper processing unit (3). The check processing unit has a U-shaped check conveyance path PI that opens to the front of the printer and enables handling slips to be processed and the processed slips from the front of the printer. A continuous paper conveyance path P2 that conveys continuous paper fed from a paper roll in the roll paper compartment (11) from the back to the front of the printer is formed on the inside of the check conveyance path PI, enabling replacing roll paper and removing processed continuous paper from the front. The conveyance paths PI and P2 are independent of each other, the printing positions thereof are separated, and conveyed slips and continuous paper will not interfere with each other.
