ABSTRACT:
An image scanner capable of scanning double-sided documents or of being divided into two single-sided scanners includes a main body with an automatic document feeder and an image capture device, a base, and a flatbed scanner with its own image capture device. The main body can be secured either to the base, in which case a sheet fed single-sided scanner is formed, or to the flatbed scanner, in which case a double-sided scanner is formed. The automatic document feeder eliminates the need for a transparent document thin film guide by using the top surface of the base or of the flatbed scanner to guide a document past the image capture device and onto a guiding plate extending at a non-zero angle from the main body and into a groove in either the base or the flatbed scanner, the groove receiving the guiding plate so that the guiding plate extends into the path of the document to guide the document into an output tray.
