  • Publication number: 20190075209
    Abstract: A touch display module is for controlling a printing module and a scanning module. The scanning module is for at least scanning a first side of a scanned object to generate a first image corresponding to the first side of the scanned object. The touch display module includes a touch display panel and a control unit. The touch display panel at least includes a first section for displaying a first pattern corresponding to the first image and generating a first touch signal. The control unit controls the first section to display the first pattern corresponding to the first image when the control unit receives the first image transmitted from the scanning module. The control unit controls the printing module to print the first image according to the first touch signal when the control unit receives the first touch signal transmitted from the first section.

  • Publication number: 20180359385
    Abstract: A light sensing apparatus includes a sheet passage, a first sensing assembly and a first background sheet. The sheet passage has a scan window. The first sensing assembly disposed on a first side of the scan window outputs first scan light to the scan window. The first background sheet disposed on a second side of the scan window has a first reflective surface reflecting the first scan light, passing through the scan window, back to the first sensing assembly through the scan window. The first reflective surface of the first background sheet and the scan window are disposed in a non-parallel manner. Therefore, a light sensing method is also provided to achieve the effects of brightness calibration and boundary detection of the first sensing assembly.

  • Patent number: 10142509
    Abstract: A scanning device comprises a scan assembly, a control processor and an output interface. The scan assembly comprises two scanner modules for scanning front and reverse sides of a data medium to obtain front side analog data and reverse side analog data. The control processor electrically connected to the scan assembly controls the scan assembly, and executes an analog-to-digital converting process to convert the front side analog data and the reverse side analog data into front side digital data and reverse side digital data. The output interface electrically connected to the control processor outputs even sets of digital data, comprising the front side digital data and the reverse side digital data, to an image forming apparatus, so that the image forming apparatus performs even-set data typesetting and outputting after the even sets of digital data are completely outputted. An image forming system using the scanning device is also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20180293019
    Abstract: An information security management system and a multifunction printer thereof are provided. The multifunction printer includes an image capturing module, an image processing module, an output module and a transmission module. The image capturing module captures a data image of a document paper. The image processing module is coupled to the image capturing module and encodes the data image to generate first encoded data. The output module is coupled to the image processing module and prints second encoded data related to the data image. The transmission module is coupled to the image processing module and transmits one of the first and second encoded data. The multifunction printer deletes the first encoded data from a memory after transmitting the first encoded data, and deletes the second encoded data from the memory after transmitting/outputting the second encoded data.

  • Publication number: 20180207948
    Abstract: A printing precision calibrating structure includes image forming assemblies, a transmission path and a linear image sensor. The image forming assemblies arranged in order generate image forming substances. The transmission path allows the image forming substances to pass. The linear image sensor is disposed downstream of the image forming assemblies. The image forming assemblies generate the image forming substances transmitted within the transmission path. The linear image sensor detects the image forming substances, provided by the image forming assemblies, for printing precision calibrating. A printing precision calibrating method is also provided.

  • Patent number: 9840384
    Abstract: A sheet separation mechanism comprises a separation roller set and a reverse roller set rotating in the same rotation direction. The reverse roller set presses sheets onto the separation roller set to stop one or multiple ones of the sheets close to the reverse roller set from passing through a nip between the separation and reverse roller sets, and allow the sheet directly contacting the separation roller set to pass through the nip. The reverse roller set comprises a shaft, and two reverse rollers and an annular member all mounted on the shaft, which rotates the reverse rollers. The annular member, disposed between the two reverse rollers, is rotatable relatively to the shaft and movable relatively to the shaft in a radial direction of the shaft. The annular member and the reverse rollers commonly press the sheets. A sheet-fed scanning apparatus using the sheet separation mechanism is also provided.
