ABSTRACT:
A paper handling device, which uses a two-dimensional imaging sensor array, can quickly image a stack of documents. The two-dimensional array is positioned in direct contact with a document on top of the stack of documents. The sensor array images the document and is then lifted away from the page. The document is moved to an output tray. A first modification allows for recirculation of the documents for two-sided copying. A second modification, positions the sensor array above the documents in the output tray after the next document is moved from the input tray. With each of these designs, around one hundred pages can be imaged in less than a minute.
