Abstract: A scanner has a casing with a transparent surface, a scanning module, a reflecting surface module, a driving device and a control circuit. The scanning module is moveably installed inside the casing under the transparent surface, and is used to scan the document and produce corresponding scanning signals. The scanning module has a light source installed under the transparent surface to illuminate the document, an image sensing module to scan images from the document and produce the corresponding scanning signals, and a reflective module to reflect the images from the document to the image sensing module. The reflecting surface module is moveably installed above the transparent surface, and is used to reflect light from the light source down to the transparent surface. The driving device is installed inside the casing to move the scanning module. The control circuit controls the operations of the scanner.

Abstract: A scanner has a casing with a transparent platform, a scanning module movably installed inside the casing, a reflecting surface module located above the transparent platform, a driving device installed inside the casing to move the scanning module, and a control circuit installed inside the casing to control operations of the scanner. The scanning module has a housing, a first light source and a second light source installed in parallel inside the housing, the first light source or the second light source illuminating the document, an image sensing module installed inside the housing to scan images from the document to produce corresponding scanning signals, and a reflector module installed inside the housing to reflect the images from the document to the image sensing module. The reflecting surface module is removably fixed to the housing and located above the transparent platform to reflect light upwardly emitted from the first light source down to the document.
