<p>A scanning device adapted to be held by a user and placed on a scannable surface and thereupon to generate a signal in response to the scanning device scanning the scannable surface. The scanning device comprises a housing portion with a back surface oriented away from the user, a front surface oriented toward the user, and a bottom surface adapted to rest on the scannable surface. The scanning device also includes a detector located within the housing portion for scanning the scannable surface and for producing the signal in response to the scanner scanning the scannable surface. The scanning device also comprises a support attached to the housing portion and having a shape which ensures that the housing portion will stand in a generally upright or erect position when the bottom surface is parallel to the scanning surface. <IMAGE></p> |
