Rotatable sheet feed scanner and method for using the same

Details

Inventors: Esquibel, Daniel M.; Tomlinson, Roydan;
Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Company (Palo Alto, CA)
Primary Examiner: Wallerson; Mark
Assistant Examiner: Lamb; Twyler
Attorney, Agent or Firm:

A scanner is presented that may include a prism shaped, symmetric scanner that can be rotated to enable paper to be fed from the top or the bottom of the scanner. The scanner of the present invention may also include a button to control the direction of the motor so that the user can select to feed paper from either the top for automatic document feed operations or the bottom for single sheet feed operations. These and other advantages are accomplished in a desktop scanner that leverages the desktop real estate, while at the same time provides the scanner flexibility of an automatic document feed scanner.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION The above listed shortcomings of current desktop scanners is overcome by the scanner of the present invention.
