Abstract
An example scanner assembly includes a housing formed with corners to allow an image sensor line to align cornerwise. An example scanner apparatus may include a plurality of scanner assemblies with an image sensor line oblique to the media advance direction.
Claims15
A scanner assembly comprising:
- a housing that is substantially rectangular, the housing comprising:
- a first corner with a first extension cavity;
- a second corner with a second extension cavity that is substantially diagonally opposing to the first extension cavity;
- and
- a face defining a frame corresponding to an image sensor;
- and
- an image sensor line oriented cornerwise from the first extension cavity to the second extension cavity.

A scanner apparatus comprising:
- a scanner assembly comprising:
- a sealed housing for electronics including an image sensor placed along an image sensor line;
- and
- a window on a face of the sealed housing through which the image sensor is facing to be oriented towards a scan location, the image sensor line is oriented substantially parallel to a plane on which the window is located and at an oblique angle with respect to a central axis of the body of the sealed housing along the plane of the window;
- a media guide to guide media towards the window.

A scanner apparatus comprising:
- a plurality of scanner assemblies located across a scanning zone of a media path, a first scanner assembly of the plurality of scanner assemblies comprising:
- a first overlap portion that overlaps a second scanner assembly of the plurality of scanner assemblies with respect to a first housing side of the first scanner assembly that is substantially parallel to a media advance direction and to a second housing side of the first scanner assembly that is substantially perpendicular to the media advance direction;
- and
- a first image sensor that extends into the first overlap portion along an image sensor line oriented at an oblique angle with respect to the media advance direction.
