Abstract

The present invention provides a double function-mode scanner. It includes a scanner body scanning a content of an article to be scanned, and a feeder connected to the scanner body to have the article transmitted through a passage between the scanner body and the feeder so that the content of the article can be scanned and having a light source for allowing the sheet-feed scanner to perform not only a reflection-mode scanning but a penetration-mode scanning.
