Abstract
An image scanning apparatus includes a main scanning drum and a pair of nip rolls moveable into and out of engagement with the drum for feeding a sheet during a scanning operation. When the nip rollers are spaced from the scanning drum, the sheet may be supplied downwardly by gravity between the drum and nip rolls. A moveable stopper is disposed in the path of the sheet to support the sheet with at least one end thereof disposed intermediate the scanning drum and nip rolls. Upon movement of the nip rolls into engagement with the scanning drum, the sheet will be fed upwardly past a scanning station for discharge through a first pair of discharge rolls. A second pair of discharge rolls is optionally provided below the stopper to facilitate the discharge of a sheet in the downward direction by means of a second pair of discharge rolls.
