Abstract:
Generally, a scanner of the present embodiment, which reads a first surface with a first reading section configured to read the first surface of a sheet and a second surface with a second reading section configured to read the second surface opposite to the first surface of the sheet, executes individual processing on a first reading image of the first surface and a second reading image of the second surface.
Abstract:
In a control device, the scan control unit controls a scanning operation in which data is to be generated by reading a document. The data format selecting unit selects one of a first format or a second format different from the first format as a data format in which the data is to be generated. The resolution setting unit sets a reading resolution based on the data format. The resolution setting unit sets a first resolution as the reading resolution when the data format selecting unit selects the first format whereas the resolution setting unit sets a second resolution different from the first resolution as the reading resolution when the data format selecting unit selects the second format. The scan control unit controls the scanning operation to read the document in the reading resolution set by the resolution setting unit.
Abstract:
An image reader is provided, which includes a feeder feeding a document sheet, a first reading sensor, a first reference member, a moving mechanism moving the first reading sensor to a document reading position to read an image of the document sheet and a reference reading position to read an image of the first reference member, and a controller that controls the moving mechanism to move the first reading sensor to the reference reading position, controls the first reading sensor to read the image of the first reference member, and controls the moving mechanism to move the first reading sensor to the document reading position after the first reading sensor reads the image of the first reference member. The controller controls the feeder to start feeding the document sheet to the document reading position before the first reading sensor reaches the document reading position from the reference reading position.
Abstract:
An image processor includes a reading unit (10, 13, 17) that moves a scanning optical system (10, 13) toward a reference white sheet (101) to read the reference white sheet (101) from a direction along which the scanning optical system (10, 13) returns to the carried document reading glass (6) before reading one sheet of a document mounted on a carried document reading glass (6) by an automatic document feeding unit (3) in a sheet document reading mode of forming an image of the document carried by the automatic document feeding unit (3) by an image sensor (15) through the scanning optical system (10, 13) facing the carried document reading glass (6).
Abstract:
An image processor includes a reading unit that moves a scanning optical system toward a reference white sheet to read the reference white sheet from a direction along which the scanning optical system returns to the carried document reading glass before reading one sheet of a document mounted on a carried document reading glass by an automatic document feeding unit in a sheet document reading mode of forming an image of the document carried by the automatic document feeding unit by an image sensor through the scanning optical system facing the carried document reading glass.
Abstract:
An image reading apparatus includes: a sheet feeding device; a sheet feeding section that controls transport of an original document performed by the sheet feeding device; a reading section that outputs image data by reading the original document; a carriage that is equipped with the reading section; a carriage control section that controls movement of the carriage; a buffer that temporarily stores the image data; and a monitoring section that monitors a volume of the image data stored in the buffer. When the monitoring section determines that the volume of the image data is more than a predetermined first threshold value, the sheet feeding section decelerates and stops the transport of the original document, the carriage control section accelerates the carriage in a direction opposite to the transport of the original document during a deceleration period of the transport of the original document.
Abstract:
An image reading device reads a document using a plurality of reading modes including a sheet-through reading mode for reading a document at a fixed reading position while the document is automatically fed. The image reading device includes a first resolution changer, a second resolution changer, and a resolution setting unit. The first resolution changer changes one of a linear velocity at which the document is fed and a traveling speed of a reading carriage to change a resolution at which the document is read in a sub-scanning direction. The second resolution changer electrically interpolates image data output from the first resolution changer to change a resolution of the image data. The resolution setting unit provides a plurality of combinations of resolution change rates between the resolution changers as resolution change modes and sets the resolution changers to one of the combinations of resolution change rates.
Abstract:
A beam light scanning device includes an image data processing unit operable to output image-processed data of neighboring pixels in such a way that the data is divided for distribution into first pixel data and second pixel data. The scanner also includes a synchronizer circuit that receives the first and second pixel data as output from the image data processor and outputs these pixel data while letting them be synchronized with clocks as synchronized based on a horizontal synchronous signal. The scanner further includes a couple of pulse width modulators or “PWMs”, a synthetic circuit, and a laser diode module. The PWMs are for adjustment of the pulse widths of the first and second pixel data as output from the synchronizer circuit respectively. The synthetic circuit combines together the pulse width-adjusted first and second pixel data. The LD emits a light beam indicative of the resultant combined pixel data.
