Abstract

PURPOSE:To recognize the readable range of a picture before scanning by providing a confirming means confirming a read end position on the picture before the picture is scanned. CONSTITUTION:A rectangular read start position confirming small window 4 is provided to an upper part of a picture input device main body 1 and the rectangular read start position confirming small window 4 is made of a material so that a read start position mark 5 and an picture 6 on paper are observed overlappingly. Moreover, a switch 7 and a read end position confirming small window 8 are provided under the rectangular read start position confirming small window 4 and the read end position confirming small window 8 is made of a material so that read end position marks 9-11 and the picture 6 on the paper are observed overlappiugly. Thus, when a desired read end position 12 exists in the picture 6, the read end position is confirmed by the read end position confirming small window 8 and the read scanning is attained by turning on a read start switch 7.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to an image input device that includes a movement amount detection section and an image reading section, and that scans an image in a fixed direction and reads the image.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, in an image input device that has a movement amount detection section and an image reading section and scans an image in a fixed direction and reads the image, a small window is provided at or near the image reading section,
The configuration was such that an image near the image reading section could be confirmed through the small window.

Technical Problems T'ta Akira is Trying to Solve] However, in the conventional example described above, only the image near the image reading section can be confirmed, and there are the following problems.

(1) The reading width perpendicular to the scanning direction can be confirmed in a small window before scanning, but the reading width parallel to the scanning direction is hidden under the image input device. It was difficult to judge before scanning whether or not the desired image could be input to the end.

(li) Furthermore, in order to determine whether or not the desired image can be input to the end, it is necessary to perform one or more test scans to read the image, resulting in many unnecessary operations.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned drawbacks, and it is an object of the present invention to provide an image input device that allows the reading range of an image to be known before scanning and improves operability.

[Means to solve the problem]

The present invention has a configuration in which a confirmation means is provided in which the input image and a mark indicating the end position of image reading can be viewed simultaneously in the scanning direction in which the image is scanned before scanning. This makes it possible to check the reading end position before scanning.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained in detail using embodiments shown in the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a schematic configuration diagram showing an embodiment of an image input device according to the present invention.

An image input device main body 1 that reads images and a computer 2 that processes image data sent from the image input device main body 1 are connected via a cable 3.

Further, a rectangular small window 4 for confirming the reading start position is provided at the upper part of the image input device main body 1, and the small window 4 for confirming the reading start position has a reading start position mark 5.
It is made of a material that allows the image 6 and the image 6 on the paper to be seen in an overlapping state. Further, a switch 7 for starting image reading and a small window 8 for confirming the reading end position are provided below the small window 4 for confirming the reading start position, and the small window 8 for confirming the reading end position is also used for reading the image. Similar to the small window 4 for confirming the start position, it is made of a material that allows the reading end position marks 9 to 11 and the image 6 on the paper to be seen in an overlapping state. therefore,
When the desired reading end position 12 is found in the image 6, the reading end position is confirmed through a small window 8 for checking the reading end position, and after the reading start switch 7 is turned ONL, scanning for reading is performed. .

Further, an image density changeover switch 13 is provided on the side of the image input device main body 1, and the image reading width 14 can also be changed by switching the image density changeover switch 13. Therefore, a plurality of reading end position marks 9 to 13 are prepared.

In this way, it is possible to directly check the image 6 near the reading end position with the mouth, and at the same time, it is also possible to shift the reading range up and down and adjust it before scanning.

According to the embodiment described above, the input image and image reading are completed! The system is configured so that the status can be confirmed by overlapping the mark indicating the image, making it possible to know the reading range of the image before scanning, making it possible to greatly improve operability compared to conventional methods. .

〔Effect of the invention〕

As is clear from the above description, according to the present invention, in an image input device that has a movement amount detection section and an image reading section and is configured to read an image by scanning the image in a fixed direction, The structure is equipped with a confirmation means to confirm the reading end position on the image before scanning the top.
An image input device is obtained in which the reading range of an image can be known before scanning, and the operability can be improved.
