Abstract

PURPOSE:To simplify the designation operation of a read range by providing a transparent touch panel attached freely in a way of free open and close on an information read scanning base via a flexible guide and designating the read range of an original. CONSTITUTION:A transparent touch panel 7 consists of two transparent conductive films detecting the read range of X, Y axes res[ectovely. A guide 8 is made of a flexible resin and formed nearly as a ring shape to allow the panel 7 to obtain the movement and angle in the thickness derection freely with respect to the original. An aperture 9 is made to the panel 7 to penetrate the guide 8 therethrough. In placing the original on an information read scanning base 2 and instructing two points of a rectangular region to be read on the panel 7, coordinates of (Xi, Yi,), (Xj, Yj) are given to a control circuit in an image information input device main body 5 via an electric line (not shown) and the Yj-Yi only with respect to the main scanning direction and the Xj-Xi only with respect to the subscanning direction are read.
