An image scanning device has a platen, an openable cover, a cover sensor, a scanning unit, a condition setting unit enabling a user to set a first condition, and a controller. The controller is configured to detect an opening state of the cover based on a detection signal output by the cover sensor and obtain the image data representing a partial image which is an image of a first end portion of a scannable area of the scanning unit. When the cover is in the closed state, the controller applies an image processing based on the first condition set through the condition setting unit, and when the cover is in the opened state, the controller applies the image processing based on a second condition which is a particular condition set in advance and different from the first condition.

An image reading apparatus includes a first housing, a second housing, an imaging sensor, a reference member provided to be able to move between a first position facing the imaging sensor and a second position, a cam to make the reference member move, and an abutting member provided to make the cam move. The abutting member is located at a projecting position sticking out from the first housing, to make the cam move so that the reference member moves from the first position to the second position when the second housing is closed with respect to the first housing. The abutting member is provided so as to be able to retract when the second housing is opened and closed with respect to the first housing and abuts against the cam in the state located at the projecting position.

An image reading apparatus includes a reader configured to read an image, and a movable member that is movable when the reader is not reading the image, and configured to move within a region where a fixed member fixed above the reader is not present on a movement trajectory of the movable member.

A reading apparatus includes: a document platen on which a document is placed; a reading portion configured to read a document placed on the document platen; a cover that is openable and closable between a first position at which the document platen is covered and a second position at which the document is uncovered; and a frame member including a first inclination portion and a second inclination portion, configured to constitute at least a part of an outer frame of the document platen, the first inclination portion being adjacent to the document platen and higher with an increasing distance from the document platen, and the second inclination portion being arranged farther away from the document platen than the first inclination portion and higher with an increasing distance from the document platen.

A casing structure, an optical scanner, and an image forming apparatus. The casing structure includes a casing having an opening, a cover that covers the opening of the casing, and a seal disposed between the casing and the cover. In the casing structure, the cover is openable and closable with respect to the casing, and the seal contacting the casing and the cover when the cover is closed. In the casing structure, the casing or the cover including at least one portion contained in the seal in a cross section taken in a direction the cover is opened or closed. The optical scanner includes the casing structure. In the optical scanner, the casing stores a plurality of components to be applied to an image forming apparatus, and the cover has an optical element through which light passes. The image forming apparatus includes the optical scanner.

An apparatus includes a portable case, and a slide-out printer is connected to the portable case. The slide-out printer is connected so as to slide in and out of the portable case. The slide-out printer includes a scanner, and the scanner includes a platen. The apparatus also includes a slide-out shredder connected to the portable case. The slide-out shredder is similarly connected to slide in and out of the portable case.

An image reading apparatus includes a first housing, a second housing, an imaging sensor, a reference member provided to be able to move between a first position facing the imaging sensor and a second position, a cam to make the reference member move, and an abutting member provided to make the cam move. The abutting member is located at a projecting position sticking out from the first housing, to make the cam move so that the reference member moves from the first position to the second position when the second housing is closed with respect to the first housing. The abutting member is provided so as to be able to retract when the second housing is opened and closed with respect to the first housing and abuts against the cam in the state located at the projecting position.

An image forming apparatus reads a document mounted on a document positioning section by using an image reading section, and forms an image of the document on a sheet by using an image forming section. The sheet subjected to the image formation processing is mounted on a discharge tray via a discharge section. The image forming apparatus includes an operation unit that has a touch panel and that protrudes from a front portion of the image reading section, and a power button that is a hardware button provided on a back side of the operation unit and on a front portion of the image reading section

An image scanning unit optically scans an image of a predetermined scanning area that includes a platen glass on which a document is put. A document cover is capable of rotation and covers the platen glass. A first movable member moves in a direction substantially perpendicular to the platen glass in accordance with opening and closing of the document cover. A second movable member moves in a direction substantially parallel to the platen glass in accordance with movement of the first movable member when the first movable member contacts. A cover status detecting unit obtains the image from the image scanning unit and detects a status of the document cover on the basis of an image of the second movable member in the scanning area.

Example media scanning assemblies are disclosed. In an example, the media scanning assembly includes a media feeder assembly including an output tray, an input tray disposed vertically lower than the output tray, and a first scanning device. In addition, the media scanning assembly includes a flatbed scanning assembly coupled to the media scanning assembly. The flatbed scanning assembly includes a transparent platen and a second scanning device to move relative to the platen. The media feeder assembly includes a media path extending from the input tray, across a portion of the platen, to the output tray, and the media feeder assembly is to advance media along the media path from the input tray to the output tray so that the first scanning device is to scan a first side of the media and the second scanning device is to scan a second side of the media through the platen.
