Automatic document feeder and scanner systems

A system for feeding a stack of business cards from an input platform to a scanner, comprising:

• a vertically movable pickup roller;
• a housing;
• a swing arm with an upper and lower end, wherein the housing supports the upper end and the lower end supports the pickup roller above the input platform;
• a backstop incline extending from the input platform;
• a plurality of output rollers adjacent the top edge of the backstop incline;
• a first motor coupled to rotate the pickup roller;
• a second motor coupled to rotate the plurality of output rollers;
• one or more scanner input rollers with axes parallel to the plurality of output rollers;
• and wherein the pickup roller rotatably contacts the top card and travels vertically upward when the top card travels up the backstop incline so that the major surface of the card separates from the major surface of the next card in the stack, wherein the edge of the top card slides upwards along the backstop incline until the top card engages the plurality of output rollers, which rotate and push the top card toward the scanner input roller(s), wherein the plurality of output rollers and the scanner input roller(s) can be synchronized or the plurality of output roller can freely rotate when the second motor is cut off.
