ABSTRACT:
A reflection-type scanner that can be mounted inside a host computer case of a computer to scan an object to be scanned includes a housing device to be disposed inside the host computer case, an image pick-up device mounted inside the housing device for scanning the object, and a feed-in device constructed inside the housing device to move the object to be scanned by the image pick-up device. The reflection-type scanner of present invention no longer requires a moving space for scanning as in the prior art, but stabilizes the scanning speed and direction, and simplifies the operation in that a user only needs to insert the object to be scanned between the rollers or place it on the tray of the scanner and the scanner takes over the rest of the work. Moreover, the scanner can be integrated into the computer system so that the user need not bother setting up the scanner in the computer and constructing the wires and connectors between the scanner and the conputer, and the cost can be lowered.
