ABSTRACT:
A document scanning system is disclosed which utilizes a scan carriage mounted on guide rails which are connected between novel support members. The support members are mounted at one location only to a fixed base support. The guide rails do not require mounting to a side frame structure; the support structure providing the stability usually provided by the sides of a frame. The guide rails are inherently stable and provide the support for the scan load components. The second embodiment of the invention uses a single guide rail to support the optical system rather than plural guide rails.
