Automatic document feeder hinges
The automatic document feeder hinges allow the assembly to be positioned vertically above the scanner
glass to accommodate the placement of books and other objects up to 40 mm (1.57 in) in height on the
scanner glass. The automatic document feeder is still be able to close (the bottom of the ADF is kept parallel
to the scanner glass) and allow the product to operate.
The automatic document feeder hinges provide height adjustment of at least 40 mm (1.57 in) in when a
maximum downward force of 5 kg (11 lb) is applied at front edge of the assembly, with the fulcrum (for
example, the spine of a book) centered in the scanner glass and parallel to its long axis.
The automatic document feeder is able to withstand a downward force of at least 15 kg (33 lb) applied at the
front edge center of the assembly, when the fulcrum (such as the spine of a book) is oriented parallel to the
long axis of the scanner glass but located anywhere within the scan window, without breaking, deforming,
detaching or experiencing performance degradation.
The automatic document feeder hinges support the assembly in the open position, and prevent the
automatic document feeder from suddenly shutting in a damaging or loud manner.
The hinges can hold the automatic document feeder static in all positions higher than 100 mm (3.93 in)
(measured at the front of the assembly). Less than 2.3 kg (5 lb) is required to open or close the automatic
document feeder.
The hinges allow the automatic document feeder to open to an angle of between 60º and 80º from horizontal
(this angle will not allow the product tip over).
