ABSTRACT:
The present invention is related to an image scanning device mounted to a computer case, which includes a scanner housing having a first portion located inside the computer case and a second portion protruding through a surface of the computer case, a scanning passage essentially located in the second portion of the scanner housing for transmitting therethrough an object to be scanned, and an image sensing and processing device installed in the scanner housing for sensing an image of the object during the transmission of the object through the scanning passage and processing the sensed image. The scanning device according to the present invention is mounted to a computer case so that the extra space for resting thereon or moving therearound a sheetfed-type or a handheld-type scanner will not be needed any more. Moreover, the scanning device according to the present invention occupies relatively small space from the host computer, e.g. a disk drive space, but is suitable for scanning relatively large size of documents, e.g. A4-size documents.
