A scanning system that uses two cameras or scanners and two original document paths. If the system is to be used in a duplex mode, the original document is transmitted over a single document path while a first camera scans one side of the document and a second camera scans the other side of the document. If the system is to be used in a simplex mode, the original document is placed on either of the paths or, if a series of original documents are to be simplex scanned, both paths may be utilized at the same time. In this manner and with the use of mirrors, either camera may scan one side of the original document, one side of two original documents may be scanned at substantially the same time or two sides of the original document may be scanned at substantially the same time.
