Abstract
An image scanner includes a reflecting plate which is turnable to selectively receive reflected light from an object to be scanned which may be positioned at two different locations. An object at one location can be scanned with one resolution while another object can be scanned at another location with different resolution. The two locations may be spaced at different distances from the reflecting plate to permit accommodation of a wide variety of scanned objects.
