Abstract:
1. An image scanning device comprising: a scanning unit configured to scan, at a scanning position, a document to read an image of the document; a first discharge portion configured to receive the document scanned by the scanning unit; a second discharge portion configured to receive the document scanned by the scanning unit; a common motor configured to generate a driving force; a conveying unit configured to receive the driving force generated by the common motor and convey the document scanned by the scanning unit selectively along a first conveying path from the scanning position to the first discharge portion, and along a second conveying path from the scanning position to the second discharge portion; and a path switching unit configured to receive the driving force generated by the common motor and move between a first position for guiding the document scanned by the scanning unit toward the first discharge portion and a second position for guiding the document scanned by the scanning unit toward the second discharge portion, such that the conveying unit conveys the document scanned by the scanning unit to the first discharge portion along the first conveying path when the path switching unit is in the first position and to the second discharge portion along the second conveying path when the path switching unit is in the second position.
