Abstract
A mounting system for a two-dimensional scanner may comprise a base and a platen mounted to the base. A multi-axis scanner support apparatus mounted to the base is sized to receive the two-dimensional scanner. The multi-axis scanner support apparatus allows the two-dimensional scanner to be moved between a first position wherein the two-dimensional scanner receives image light from an object positioned on the platen and a second position wherein the two-dimensional scanner receives image light from an object not positioned on the platen.
