ABSTRACT:
An image scanner includes a single contact glass placed on a main body. The contact glass has a first range through which a first original document is passed to be scanned, and a second range over which a second original document is placed to be scanned. An image sensor scans the first original document at a fixed position in the first range, and the image sensor scans the second original document while the image sensor moves through the second range. An automatic document feeder is arranged on the first range of the contact glass to introduce the first original document through an introducing path to the fixed position and to eject the first original document through an ejecting path from the fixed position. The introducing path is formed from an introducing orifice to the fixed position, the introducing orifice being located at a side of the second range of the automatic document feeder. Further, an ejecting path is formed from the fixed position to an ejecting orifice.
