Abstract
A scanning device comprises a scan assembly, a control processor and an output interface. The scan assembly comprises two scanner modules for scanning front and reverse sides of a data medium to obtain front side analog data and reverse side analog data. The control processor electrically connected to the scan assembly controls the scan assembly, and executes an analog-to-digital converting process to convert the front side analog data and the reverse side analog data into front side digital data and reverse side digital data. The output interface electrically connected to the control processor outputs even sets of digital data, comprising the front side digital data and the reverse side digital data, to an image forming apparatus, so that the image forming apparatus performs even-set data typesetting and outputting after the even sets of digital data are completely outputted. An image forming system using the scanning device is also disclosed.
