Embodiment Construction

[0034] The description is particularly directed to elements forming part of or cooperating more directly with a device according to the invention. It is to be understood that elements not specifically shown or described may take various forms well known to those skilled in the art.

[0035]As used herein, the term "document imaging device" refers to a broad class of devices used to record document data in either of the following two directions: (i) image or other type of human readable (human readable) Information is recorded on the base sheet to form a document from the image data; or (ii) by optical scanning, the machine-readable image data is captured and recorded from the document sheet. Devices for recording human-readable information onto document sheets include various types of printer devices such as inkjet printers, thermal printers, photo printers, laser printers, and line matrix printers. Devices for acquiring and recording machine-readable image data are generally...

Abstract

A document imaging apparatus ( 10 ) for recording document data has an imager body ( 12 ) that has an image data transformation apparatus ( 34 ) and a paper feed apparatus ( 36 ) for urging a document sheet along a paper path from a paper feed input source ( 14 ), past the image data transformation apparatus ( 34 ), to an output slot ( 16 ). The imager body ( 12 ) is pivotably coupled to a support pedestal ( 20 ) for adjusting the tilt angle of the imager body ( 12 ) to one of a plurality of tilt angle positions.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to imaging devices for documents and, more particularly, to imaging devices having a tiltable paper path. Background technique [0002] Suppliers of desktop and portable computer equipment and peripherals are keenly aware of the value of reducing the desktop space requirements of these devices. In particular, reducing the footprint of peripheral document imaging devices, such as printers or scanners, has many benefits, especially since such devices may be used intermittently in many environments. [0003] An optical scanner for scanning and recording documents is a well known type of imaging device. Optical scanners typically include a scanning table with an optical reading element, a light source, and a platen made of glass or clear plastic to hold the scanned document portion in a flat position . In operation, optical data from a document is transferred from the optical reading element to one or more buffer ...
