Abstract

The invention provides a copier (80) which includes an electro-adhesion device (10) attached to or forming part of a lid (82) of the copier (80). The electro-adhesion device (10) is provided on/in the lid (82) to enable a user to position objects (88) face-up on the lid (82) while the lid (82) is open. By closing the lid (82) onto the base (84), the objects (88) are presented in user-selected positions to a copying sensor (not shown) contained in the base (84). The electro-adhesion device (10) is configured to attract the objects (88) to an electro-adhesion surface of the electro-adhesion device (10) with a suitably high adhesion force to ensure that the objects (88) are not able to move freely relative to the electro-adhesion surface during the closing of the lid (82) and/or during copying.
