A merchandise simulator device which allows a user to operate a desired piece of merchandise on a user's terminal as if the user was using the piece actually at hand. In the merchandise simulator device, when a workstation executes merchandise simulation software received from an HTTP server, a merchandise simulation control section is activated on the workstation to thereby display the basic image of a selected piece of merchandise in a display section. If a drag operation is carried out by a mouse of an input section, then the piece of merchandise displayed on the display section is rotated on the basis of two or more pieces of image data received from the HTTP server and also, if a mouse input is given to a button or the like of the image data displayed on the display section, then the function of the piece of merchandise displayed in the display section is simulated in whatever display state the present piece is.

Automatic paper feeder includes a feed roller, and a paper-separating member in contact with the feed roller. A push member serves to press the paper-separating member against the feed roller. A spring serves to exert a pressing force on the push member. A mechanism serves to adjust the pressing force of the spring which is exerted on the push member. The spring-force adjusting mechanism includes a swingable adjustment plate connected to the spring, a cam, and a movable adjustment member connected to the adjustment plate via the cam. The adjustment member has a knob. At least a part of the knob is exposed to be easily accessed. The pressing force of the spring which is exerted on the push member is varied in accordance with a position of the knob.

A scanning head comprises a support member for supporting the head in pressing contact with a platen. The support member has lower strength portions spaced longitudinally of the head, and higher strength portions alternate with the lower strength portions. The support member is easily bendable at the lower strength portions, and the higher strength portions are urged by springs toward the platen. Thus, the head can come into intimate pressing contact with the platen even if the surface flatness of the support member as a whole is not strictly realized.
