ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for supporting and guiding an optical character reader across a document containing information to be read, such as a business card or an identification card, comprises a frame having a top surface, and a pair of rails disposed on the top surface of the frame, the optical character reader being supported for sliding movement along the rails. An inner guide is located at a forward end of the apparatus. The inner guide includes a slot which receives the optical character reader and acts as a stop for it, thereby determining an initial position of the optical character reader. The top surface of the frame includes an inclined depression which is dimensioned for closely receiving the business or identification card. Desirably, the depression includes a clamping slot along a rear edge thereof into which the business or identification card can be inserted.
