  • Patent number: 10712703
    Abstract: A sensing device includes a housing, a supporting component, a grating module, a first roller, a second roller, and a control unit. When a media contacts with the second roller, the second roller drives the first roller to move the supporting component relative to the housing according to a thickness of the media, so as to adjust positions of the first roller and a grating wheel of the grating module relative to the housing. When the media drives the second roller to rotate, the second roller drives the first roller to rotate the grating wheel. The control unit determines whether the media proceeds at a predetermined speed according to a corresponding sensing signal generated by the grating module during rotation of the grating wheel, which allows a user to recognize a progress state of the media.

  • Patent number: 10659645
    Abstract: A scanner includes an image capturing module, a drive roller assembly, an idle roller assembly, and a guiding structure. The image capturing module is for capturing an image of an object. The drive roller assembly is for driving the object to move along a feeding direction. The idle roller assembly is for preventing a moving direction of the object away from the feeding direction by resiliently pressing the object. A feeding passage is formed between the drive roller assembly and the idle roller assembly. The guiding structure is disposed in front of the feeding passage and for guiding a normal direction of a leading edge of the object to be oblique relative to the feeding direction at an oblique angle. Therefore, the present invention can effectively reduce variation of a resistance force acting on the object as the object moves in the feeding path, which prevents image distortion.

  • Patent number: 10530961
    Abstract: A copying apparatus capable of calibrating a copy position comprises a scanning module scanning an original to obtain an original image; and a processing module being electrically connected to the scanning module and recognizing whether the original image contains an original mark corresponding to a template mark. If the original image contains the original mark, then the processing module generates print data for being printed out according to the original image and a position parameter of the template mark. A copying method capable of calibrating the copy position is also provided. Thus, the copy position can be calibrated according to the mark of the original to prevent the copy result from having a positional offset. Consequently, no positional offset occurs even if the original is copied multiple times based on the previous generation of original.
