Abstract: A duplex scan apparatus includes an ASIC for outputting timing, a first CCD, a second CCD, a first AFE, and a second AFE. The first CCD is for sensing the first face of the to-be-scanned document and outputting first image data according to the timing. The second CCD is for sensing the second face of the to-be-scanned document and outputting second image data according to the timing. The first AFE is for converting the first image data into first digital data and outputting the digital data to the ASIC for processing. The second AFE is for converting the second image data into second digital data and outputting the digital data to the ASIC for processing. A constant data amount corresponding to the timing is a sum of a first data amount of the first digital data and a second data amount of the second digital data.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for printing an image on a large surface area or walkway provides for imagewise marking of the surface with a color marking solution, to form a visible image on the surface during an image recording mode of a marking engine. The marking engine includes a scanner and the marking engine moves along the surface and operates the scanner to sense a crude image upon the surface and generates data signals representing the crude image or boundaries defined by the crude image scanned. In response to data signals the marking engine is operated to print an enhanced image of the crude image and/or to color the crude image so that the printing overlies the crude image.

Abstract: A compact and efficiently designed facsimile device that is capable of performing transmission, reception, and duplication functions. The efficiency is brought about by using only one stepping motor to drive all the functions of the facsimile apparatus. The mode selection is accomplished by separating either the thermosensitive recording head or the scanner away from the white roller when a particular mode of operation does not require their use. This is accomplished by placing eccentric cams on the same axle as said white roller and on both sides of said white roller. During duplication, both the thermosensitive recording head and the sensor are in contact with the white roller. During transmission or reception mode, the eccentric cams are rotated so that the thermosensitive recording head and the sensor respectively are pushed away from the white roller by the apogees of both cams. Signals external to the device are fed to a sensor which are relayed to the stepping motor to control which mode of operation is employed at any particular time.

Abstract: A laser beam printer includes a movable mirror which is rotated by a scan mirror motor. Laser light is alternately deflected toward an information reading station and an information writing station by applying the laser light to the movable mirror from a semiconductor laser. The laser light is switched between writing-use light and reading-use light at the time the movable mirror is rotated through a predetermined angle. In the laser beam printer having the semiconductor laser which is used for both writing and reading information, information is written and read out during one rotation of the movable mirror. It is therefore possible to perform a reading operation and a writing operation simultaneously by simply switching the laser light at the predetermined time depending on the rotation angle of the movable mirror.

Abstract: A normal size facsimile machine (81/2inches wide) is to be made for portable applications, with the added feature of being a thermal printer. The design is focused on a slim profile of extremely light weight. All components that can be attached externally only when needed, have been removed from the main body, and built as separate add on modules. Printing speeds are fast due to thermal technology and extremely economical. As far as portable facsimiles are concerned, this is quite a unique machine due to its compact size, 81/2inch wide print capability, and high speed with low power consumption.

Abstract: In a scanning and printing apparatus such as a copier or facsimile machine, the same driving system moves the scanning unit and transports paper through the printing unit. One edge of the paper is held by a clamping mechanism that is driven together with the scanning unit. In a copier, signals from the scanning unit can be sent directly to the printing unit for simultaneous scanning and printing, which automatically synchronizes the scanning and printing speeds. Alternatively, the signals can be temporarily stored, and scanning and printing can be performed in opposite directions of motion. For color scanning and printing, the scanning unit has filters that spectrally match the links in the printing unit. The apparatus is compact and economical because it has only a single driving mechanism and requires minimal signal interfacing.
