Abstract

Disclosed are an apparatus including a media feed tray holding media to be printed, a media printing feed path along which the media to be printed are fed from the media feed tray, a scanner feed tray holding media to be scanned, and a scanner feed path along which the media to be scanned are fed from the scanner feed tray, wherein the scanner feed path overlaps with at least a portion of the media printing feed path, and a corresponding method.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates to a printing device with a common scan and print feed path. Background technique [0002] In a typical printing device, media, such as paper, is stored in one or more trays. When printing, normally the paper is pulled from the tray and fed through the print feed path. Typically, the paper will be driven through the print feed path by rollers, such as drive rollers. If the printer is an electrophotographic printer, the rollers drive the paper along the print feed path to printing elements such as photoreceptors, fusers, etc. If the printer is an inkjet printer, the drive roller drives the paper along the print feed path to printing elements such as inkjet printheads, printing components, pressure rollers, and the like. [0003] Some typical printing devices also include scanning functionality. A typical printing device having such a scanning function includes a document handler for inputting paper sheets. Such docume...
