Abstract
A scanner with scan-starting device comprises a housing, a carriage and a scan-starting device. The carriage is movable inside the housing whereas the scan-starting device further comprises a key section and a trigger section. Besides, the key section is situated on the housing whereas the trigger section is on the circuit board of the carriage. The trigger section generates a triggering signal to start the scanner to proceed scanning when the user presses the key section to touch the trigger section. The scanner according to the invention reduces the hardware space occupied by cables and circuit boards, therefore, lowers down manufacturing costs.
