The known platform scanner includes | — The scanning module can be installed back and forth on the transparent platform of the scanner to scan a document placed on the transparent platform. More commonly, the scanning module generally includes a color image sensing module, which includes image sensors for sensing three colors of red (R), green (G), and blue (B), respectively. Aim the image transmitted by the document and generate the corresponding: j color image signal 13 ί t I When the scanner scans a color document, the color image sensing module j will be red (K) green ( G) Blue (B) three different color filter devices, which respectively filter out the red (R) green (G) blue (B) components in the white light focused i, and then enter the image i sensing module for imaging and conversion into electronics Signal, and when the scanner scans a color document in black and white, there are two ways: 丨 First, one of the three colors of red, blue and green is pre-selected before leaving the cat scanner. The image | image sensor (green image sensor is usually selected) is used to scan the color i file in black and white. However, due to the relationship that complementary colors will be filtered out, Rong Yi can easily cause distortion of the image, such as using a green image sensor; | When performing a photosensitivity, and scanning a red document, because red It is the complementary color of green I, and the light reflected on the red file will be completely filtered out, i causes the image sensor to be unable to sense any light at all.

453 1 Ο 5 五、發明說明(2) 之影像將全部成為黑色,其失真不言可喻。 第二,以處理彩色文件的方式,分別對紅、藍、綠三 種光線之成分進行感光,再以合成灰階的方式產生一黑白 影像,因此不容易造成失真。但是由於必須使感光後之彩 色影像感測模組上所儲存的電荷循序(s e q u e n t i a 1 )位移 (s h i f t)岀來後,再以影像處理之技巧將影像合成為黑白 影像,因一般影像感測模組的循序位移動作相當耗費時 間,要將三種顏色的感光電荷都位移出來所需花費的時 間,原則上大約為將一種顏色的感光電荷位移出來所需花 費的時間的三倍左右。此外,對三原色之感光電荷再作信 號合成之處理,除須花費相關軟硬體成本外,亦須再耗費 更多的時間,這些事項在掃瞄器之速度無法有效的大幅提 昇此一課題上,實為掃瞄器製造者與使用者都同為詬病的 問題。 t ί 以黑白之方式掃瞄一彩色文件之應用場合,在掃瞄器 中事實上相對而言十分常見,例如越來越多的場合是將掃 瞄器與印表機結合而當作一般之影印機使用,由於一般影 印之運用場合,不管文件為黑白或彩色,多半都是以黑白 輸出,尤其為講求列印速度,往往必須結合黑白雷射印表: I機時,掃瞄器端的彩色掃瞄根本完全沒有必要,此時黑白| |掃瞄之灰階準確度與掃瞄速度就顯得格外重要。 丨453 1 Ο 5 5. The description of the invention (2) will all be black, and its distortion is self-evident. Second, by processing color documents, the components of the three light rays, red, blue, and green, are separately photosensitive, and then a black and white image is generated in a grayscale manner, so it is not easy to cause distortion. However, since the charges stored in the color image sensing module after the photosensitivity must be shifted sequentially, the image is then synthesized into a black and white image by using image processing techniques. The sequential displacement action of the group is quite time-consuming, and the time required to displace all the photosensitive charges of three colors is, in principle, about three times the time required to displace the photosensitive charges of one color. In addition, the signal synthesis of the three primary colors of the photosensitive charge is not only related to the cost of the software and hardware, but also more time. These issues cannot effectively improve the speed of the scanner. This is a problem that both scanner manufacturers and users are criticized. t ί The application of scanning a color document in black and white is actually relatively common in scanners. For example, more and more occasions are combining scanners and printers as general The use of photocopiers, because in general photocopying applications, regardless of whether the document is black and white or color, most of them are output in black and white, especially for the speed of printing, it is often necessary to combine the black and white laser print: Scanning is not necessary at all. At this time, the gray-scale accuracy and scanning speed of black and white | | scanning are extremely important.丨

The image transmitted to the first lens group 54 is focused on the color image sensing module 24 to generate a corresponding color image signal. The image transmitted to the mirror 64 will be reflected to the second lens group 58 to focus on the black and white image sensing module 26, and generate a corresponding black and white image signal. When a document is to be scanned in black and white, the signal of the black and white image sensing module 26 is captured. When a document is to be scanned in color, the signal of the color image sensing module 24 is captured. Compared with the conventional scanner, the scanner 10 of the present invention has both a color 2 4 and a black-and-white image sensing module, an image sensing module 26, and a lens module. The image is transmitted to the color 2 4 or the black and white image sensing module 2 6 to generate the corresponding color or black and white image signal, so you can choose to use the black and white or color scanning method according to different printing requirements, instead of j This can cause problems with image distortion or wasted time. The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and all equivalent changes and modifications made in accordance with the scope of the patent application for the present invention shall fall within the scope of the invention patent.
