Abstract

The present invention relates to a sheet-feeding scanning apparatus having a business card feeding mechanism. The sheet-feeding scanning apparatus is adapted for scanning an image of an ordinary document or a business card. The sheet-feeding scanning apparatus includes a scanning module, an ordinary document input tray, an ordinary document pick-up roller assembly, an ejecting tray, a first channel, a second channel, a transfer roller assembly, a business card input tray and a business card pick-up roller assembly. The business card feeding mechanism can provide a relatively flat feeding and scanning channel for the business card such that the bending degree of the business card during transportation is reduced.
