Abstract

The invention relates to an opto-electronic scanning apparatus with a document support on a common frame, and a scanning head scanning a document in two different directions, which is characterized in that on the frame a first carrier (4; 27) is mounted that can be driven by a first driving means (5; 18) in the first direction, that on the first carrier (4; 27) a second carrier (12) is mounted which carries a scanning head (16, 17) operating in the second scanning direction only, that the scanning head (16, 17) on the second carrier (12) is linearly movable in the second scanning direction only, and that for each direction of movement a separate driving means is provided.
