A slide securing device, using in a flatbed scanner, includes a frame and a securing cell. The securing cell comprises an aperture, a first securing clip, a second securing clip, a first securing groove, a second securing groove, a picking portion, a first support member and a second support member. The slide securing device utilizes proper clips for holding slides. Thus, the scanner can directly scan the secured slides by predetermined parameters and reset mode, in order to save scanning time. Further, the securing grooves maintains slides at a fixed height to improve the scanning quality.

A transparent document securing device, using in a flatbed scanner, includes a securing frame. The securing frame comprises at least a securing cell, wherein the securing cell further includes a concave, a cover and a clip mechanism. The concave includes at least a first opening and an open slot. The cover includes at least a second opening. The securing device employs the cover to mount a transparent document in a concave. A user is therefore be able to place the securing device along with the transparent document in the document glass of a scanning system. By a predetermined mode, the scanning system is able to directly scan the transparent document; no need to preview the scanned image to adjust the scanning area. Thus, the time for scanning is saved. Further the fixed depth of the concave is utilized to proved a precise focus of the scanning system. The quality of the scanned image is therefore improved.

An apparatus and a method adapted to be used in manufacturing an image scanning apparatus for calibrating a reflective lens on a carriage are disclosed. A calibrating device has thereon a first set of three projective points from three point light beams and a first set of three calibrating points corresponding to three point light sources. The calibrating device further includes thereon a second set of three projective points and a second set of three calibrating points for matching each of the projective points on the calibrating device with a corresponding one of the calibrating points by adjusting an angle and a position of the reflective lens on the carriage so as to achieve a calibrating function.
