An apparatus for scanning a photograph with PictBridge capability is provided, which includes a light source, an image sensor, a signal converter, a PictBridge encoder, and a universal serial bus (USB) controller. The light source projects a scanning light onto an object to be scanned. Upon contacting with the object to be scanned, the scanning light is reflected as a reflected light. The image sensor receives the reflected light and then transmits an image signal to the signal converter to be converted into a digital image data. The digital image signal is encoded by the PictBridge encoder to a direct-printing code. Finally, the USB controller encodes the direct-printing code into a universal serial bus signal and transmits to a printer via a USB wire, so as to print the image by the printer.

Apparatus for scanning photograph

A multi-functional peripheral combination apparatus includes a multi-functional peripheral, a portable electronic equipment and a transforming unit being electrically connected between the multi-functional peripheral and the portable electronic equipment for image management, file management and other administrative affairs. Furthermore, the operation applied to both of the portable electronic equipment and the multi-functional peripheral is configured to preview the working image before the processing of the multi-functional peripheral, and then to edit and revise the image.
