摘要： A carry case includes a body, a cover, and a lock unit. The body houses an image scanner. The cover is supported with respect to the body such that the cover can rotate around a longitudinal direction of the body. The lock unit locks the cover to the body in a closing state in which the cover covers the body after being rotated with respect to the body in an approaching direction along which the cover approaches the body. The cover is rotated with respect to the body in a withdrawing direction opposite to the approaching direction while the lock held by the lock unit is being released, so that the cover is developed to form a discharge path of a read medium.

摘要： A camera module is disclosed including an image capture portion, a base portion, and a pivot assembly. The image capture portion has a lens system, an imaging sensor and an image processor. The image sensor captures an image in a first color space. The image processor receives the image in the first color space and converts the image to a second color space which is a device independent color space. The base portion has electrical contacts for connecting to a peripheral device in order to transfer the image in the second color space to the peripheral device. The pivot assembly connects the image capture portion to the base portion and allows the image capture portion to be movable about the pivot assembly.

摘要： An image reading apparatus enabling a user to flexibly select one of plural reading modes, for example, for continuously reading two-sided images of stacked document sheets or reading pages of a book or a large document exceeding a platen. In a first reading mode, a reading unit scans a document and reads a document image. In a second reading mode, a stationary reading unit and the reading unit read an image of a document fed from a document feeder section. The reading unit is provided in a flatbed reading section which is detachable from an apparatus body. The flatbed reading section, when detached from the apparatus body, can be used as a flatbed scanner.

摘要： A method of operating a timer module includes the steps of querying a non-volatile memory module to determine available digital image storage locations, each storage location having assigned thereto an image number; receiving a selection selecting one of the available digital image storage location as a starting location, and assigning an image number corresponding to the starting location as a starting image number; determining a number of image storage locations having an image number equal to or greater than the starting image number; instructing the image capture module to capture images a number of times equal to the number of image storage locations having an image number equal to or greater than the starting image number; transferring an image to the memory module each time the image capture module captures an image, the image being transferred into the memory module at a storage location corresponding to the starting image number; and updating the starting image number to correspond to a consecutively subsequent storage location. When a plurality of non-volatile memory modules are provided, a memory module physically closest to the image capture module is completely filled first before a memory module that is next closest to the image capture module is filled.

摘要： A hand-held modular printer system for printing a stored image. The printer system includes a memory module in which the image is stored; a printer module releasably interconnected with the memory module; and a print media dispenser module defining a print media outlet at one end thereof. The printer module has an elongate body defining an entry slot along one longitudinal side thereof and an exit slot along an opposite longitudinal side thereof. The printer module further includes a print media passage extending transversely through the elongate body, and a printer arranged across the print media passage. The print media dispenser is adapted to be releasably interconnected with the printer module along a longitudinal side thereof so that the print media outlet is in register with the entry slot, the dispenser module being configured to store a stack of sheets of print media and including a dispensing mechanism for dispensing a sheet of print media through the outlet and into the passage for printing. The print media dispenser is provided, adjacent the print media outlet and parallel thereto, with a channel-shaped socket. The channel-shaped socket adapted to releasably receive the elongate body of the printer module therein.
