  • Patent number: 5270839
    Abstract: A dual image station photoprint scanner comprises a cabinet having an upper, album imaging station and a lower, magazine-fed, platen imaging station. The upper imaging station includes a translatable unit having a glass plate upon which a photoprint is placed in a face- down position. Adjacent to the top plate, the translatable cabinet has a sloped support surface, to accommodate a photo album. A lower portion of the cabinet contains a platen feed mechanism, which translates a photographic print support platen from a supply magazine to a platen imaging station, and then feeds the platen to a storage magazine. A high resolution CCD image sensor is supported at an image projection plane of a multidirectional image projection mechanism. A digital imagery data recording mechanism is coupled to the image sensor and is operative to record, on a digital data storage medium, a digitized image that has been projected on the image sensor.
