SCANNING OF OVERSIZED DOCUMENTS

摘要

A method of scanning an oversized document includes positioning the oversized document at a first position on a first surface of a platen which is supported by a frame; wherein a distance between a lid and the first surface of the platen is less than a distance between the lid and the frame; scanning the oversized document in its first position to provide a first scan; moving the oversized document to a second position on the first surface of the platen, wherein the second position overlaps the first position; scanning the oversized document in its second position to provide a second scan; using a controller of the multifunction printer to select a stitching edge of the first scan and the second scan; and stitching together the first scan and the second scan at the stitching edge to form a composite scanned image of the oversized document.
