Abstract
An image scanner has a pivotal illuminator plate. The illuminator plate is pivotally coupled to the main housing of the image scanner and storable within the automatic paper feeder when the illuminator plate is not used. For scanning a transparent object, the illuminator plate is rotated in the direction toward the glass platform, so that the transparent object is covered by the illuminator plate.
