Patent number: 6118971Abstract: In an original-feeding device and method, originals are conveyed from an original-tray on which a bundle of originals can be mounted to an original-reading mount. A control unit controls an original-conveying operation so as to separate and feed originals from the bundle of originals mounted on the original-tray onto the original-reading mount either from an uppermost original or from a lowermost original. The control unit can control the original-conveying operation to juxtapose two consecutive originals on the original-reading mount irrespective of whether the originals are fed from the uppermost or lower-most original. In addition, the number of originals in the bundle can be counted if certain conditions exist.Type: GrantFiled: October 8, 1996Date of Patent: September 12, 2000Assignee: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Shunji Sato, Satoshi Choho
