Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A scanning device includes a first scanning unit having a first line sensor and a first light source that emits a first light beam and is arranged only at one side of the first scanning unit in a main scanning direction, and a second scanning unit having a second line sensor and a second light source that emits a second light beam and is arranged only at one side of the second scanning unit in the main scanning direction. The first scanning unit and the second scanning unit face each other and are disposed such that the first light source and the second light source are arranged at the same side of the main scanning direction, and centers of the first line sensor and the second line sensor are located at the same position in the main scanning direction.
First claim
