Abstract: An apparatus, method, and medium for controlling image orientation are disclosed. An orientation mode detector measures multi-directional rotational angles of a display panel and determines an orientation mode for original image data based on the measured rotational angles. A system memory stores orientation parameters corresponding to a plurality of image orientation modes. A system controller initially acquires information indicating the orientation mode from the orientation mode detector, and it extracts orientation parameters corresponding to the acquired information from the system memory. Finally, a driver changes an orientation of the original image data according to the extracted orientation parameters.

Abstract: Device for scanning a disc-shaped data carrier, comprising a transport system for transporting the data carrier. In the case of a device (1) for scanning a disc-shaped data carrier (2), with a pivotable data carrier plate (4), which features a receptacle for the data carrier (2), said data carrier (2) is to be able to be moved between the inlay position and the scanning position, which is at a higher level than the inlay position, by means of a combined sliding and swivel action, in order to minimize the design height of the device (1) with an adjustably held transport system (5) for moving the data carrier (2) between an inlay position and a scanning position, in which scanning position the data carrier (2) is located on the data carrier plate (4) for scanning, and with a guide device, such as a lever (9) or sliding blocks (17, 18).
