Abstract
An image scanning device includes a main body casing, a scanning unit which is movably disposed within the main body casing, and a position indicating unit to generate position information of the scanning unit, and to wirelessly receive and display the position information.
Claims20
An image scanning device, comprising:
- a main body casing;
- a scanning unit which is movably disposed at the main body casing;
- and
- a position indicating unit to wirelessly determine a position of the scanning in response to moving the scanning unit in the main body casing and to display position information of the scanning unit received wirelessly based on the determined position.

A multifunction apparatus, comprising:
- an image forming device which forms an image on a printing medium;
- and
- an image scanning device to scan an image of a target object including a main body casing, a scanning unit which is movably disposed at the main body casing, and a position indicating unit to wirelessly determine a position of the scanning in response to moving the scanning unit in the main body casing to display position information of the scanning unit received wirelessly based on the determine position.
An image scanning device comprising:
- a transparent plate including a first surface on which to place a document;
- a sensor array moveable along a second surface of the transparent plate to sense image information of a document;
- and
- a user interface positioned on an exterior of the image scanning device to wirelessly receive position information regarding a position of the sensor array and to display the position information.
1 more element
A method of displaying a position of a sensor array of an image scanning device comprising:
- moving the sensor array to scan a document positioned on a scanning bed with a source of electrical power received external to the scanning device;
- moving a device connected to the sensor array with a fixed positional relationship to generate a position signal, the device being electrically isolated from the source of electrical power;
- wirelessly transmitting the position signal;
- wirelessly receiving the transmitted position signal;
- and
- displaying a position of the sensor array as a function of the received position signal.
