Abstract
An original feeding apparatus has a first original feeding means for directing an original to an original reading station from one side thereof in an original-stationary scanning mode in which the original is read while fixing the original at the original reading station, and a second original feeding means for directing then original to the original reading station from the other side thereof in an original-through scanning mode in which the original is read while shifting the original along the original reading station.
Claims34
An original feeding apparatus, comprising:
- first original feeding means for directing an original to an original reading station from one side thereof in an original-stationary scanning mode in which the original is read while fixing the original at said original reading station;
- and
- second original feeding means for directing the original to said original reading station from the other side thereof in an original-through scanning mode in which the original is read while shifting the original along said original reading station.
An image forming system, comprising:
- an original feeding apparatus including first original feeding means for directing an original to an original reading station from one side thereof in an original-stationary scanning mode in which the original is read while fixing the original at said original reading station, and second original feeding means for directing the original to said original reading station from the other side thereof in an original-through scanning mode in which the original is read while shifting the original along said original reading station.
An original feeding apparatus, comprising:
- an original stacking tray;
- separating means for separating and feeding originals stacked on said original stacking tray;
- a first path for directing the separated and fed original to an original reading station from one direction;
- and
- a second path for directing the separated and fed original to said original reading station from the other direction.
An image forming system, comprising:
- an original feeding apparatus including an original stacking tray, separating means for separating and feeding originals stacked on said original stacking tray, a first path for directing the separated and fed original to an original reading station from one direction, and a second path for directing the separated and fed original to said original reading station from the other direction.
An original feeding apparatus, comprising:
- first original feeding means for directing an original to an original reading station from one side thereof in an original-stationary scanning mode in which the original is read while fixing the original at said original reading station;
- and
- second original feeding means for directing the original to said original reading station from the other side thereof in a side-by-side scanning mode in which the originals are read while resting two originals on said original reading station side by side.
An image forming system, comprising:
- an original feeding apparatus including first original feeding means for directing an original to an original reading station from one side thereof in an original-stationary scanning mode in which the original is read while fixing the original at said original reading station, and a second original feeding means for directing the original to said original reading station from the other side thereof in a side-by-side scanning mode in which the originals are read while resting two originals on said original reading station side by side.
An original feeding apparatus, comprising:
- an original stacking tray;
- first separating means provided at one end of said original stacking tray and adapted to separate and feed originals one by one;
- a first path for directing the separated and fed original to an original reading station from one direction;
- second separating means provided at the other end of said original stacking tray and adapted to separate and feed the originals one by one;
- and
- a second path for directing the separated and fed original to said original reading station from the other direction.
An image forming system, comprising:
- an original feeding apparatus including an original stacking tray, first separating means provided at one end of said original stacking tray and adapted to separate and feed originals one by one, a first path for directing the separated and fed original to an original reading station from one direction, second separating means provided at the other end of said original stacking tray and adapted to separate and feed the originals one by one, and a second path for directing the separated and fed original to said original reading station from the other direction.
