Patent ID: 8903300

Claim:
A multi-function device comprising: a housing; a printing assembly comprising an optical photoconductor disposed within the housing at a first height, the printing assembly being configured to print a document; and a copying assembly comprising a complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) image sensor and an illumination source, wherein at least one of (i) the CMOS image sensor or (ii) the illumination source is disposed within the housing at a second height that is at or below the first height at which the optical photoconductor is disposed within the housing, and a substantially flat transparent surface disposed in an optical path of the CMOS image sensor, wherein the substantially flat transparent surface is configured to support an object for image capture by the CMOS image sensor, wherein the illumination source is configured to provide illumination of the object on the substantially flat transparent surface during image capture, and wherein the CMOS image sensor is configured to capture an entire image of the illuminated object with a single image capture action.
