Scanner for double-sided original documents, using single data channel

摘要

The scanner processes a number of images simultaneously using a single data channel. An image pick-up system (81) produces a first digital image of a first side of each document. A second image pick-up system (82) produces a second digital image of a second side of each document. A processing circuit (98) with an image multiplexer combines the first and second digital images. A method of scanning double-sided documents is also claimed.
