Abstract: A multi-mode scanning device for scanning an original includes a background element, a first light source, a second light source and an optical module. The first light source outputs visible light to irradiate the background element and the original to generate first light and second light, respectively. The second light source outputs invisible light to irradiate a combination of the background element and the original to generate third light and fourth light, wherein the background element reflects the invisible light. The optical module receives the first to fourth light and generates sensing signals representative of visible light information and invisible light information of the original. The original is disposed between the background element and the optical module. The first light source, the second light source and the optical module are disposed on a same side of the background element.

Abstract: A duplex scan indicative scanner includes a sheet passage, a transporting mechanism, one single scanning module, a duplex indicator and a connection interface. The transporting mechanism transports a document past the sheet passage. The scanning module scans a first side of the document passing through the sheet passage. The connection interface is electrically connected to an electronic device, the duplex indicator, the transporting mechanism and the scanning module. After the electronic device has controlled, through the connection interface, the scanning module to scan the first side, the electronic device controls, through the connection interface, the duplex indicator to output a duplex indication message to guide a user to place the document or a second document, so that a second side of the document or the second document is scanned by the scanning module. A duplex scan indicative scanning apparatus and a duplex scan indicative scanning method are also provided.

Abstract: An electronic device and a document processing system both with cost saving function are disclosed. The electronic device performs a blank page counting process on a received first document file data containing blank pages, in order to generate cost information of non-blank pages and display it for reference. With the above electronic device, it is able to save the cost of outputting blank pages and avoid waste of paper to achieve the purpose of cost saving. The document processing system includes the above electronic device, which is connected to the document processing system via a network.

Abstract: A peripheral with a pivotal turn-over guiding mechanism includes: a transporting mechanism; first to third passages; an image processing unit disposed on the first passage, wherein after the image processing unit performs a first image process on a first side of a medium, the transporting mechanism transports the medium into, partially out of and back into the second passage, into the third passage, and then into the first passage, and the image processing unit performs a second image process on a second side of the medium; and a guide member, which is rotatably disposed at a connection portion of the third passage, the second passage and the first passage, normally closes a forward path from the first passage to the second passage, and normally opens a reverse path from the second passage to the third passage.
