Abstract

An analyzer for reading an information carrying document includes a document drive roller for driving the document into a location to be read, an image detector for reading the document, a case for the image detector which has an opening toward the document drive roller and wheels and pads for applying the document against the document drive roller. The case is angularly movable relative to the document drive roller between a document reading position at which the wheels and pads are applied against the document drive roller, and a document inlet position in which the pads are not applied against the document drive roller. The analyzer may also include at least one finger adjacent the case for at least partially closing the opening when the case is in the document inlet position so as to prevent passage of light through the opening, and for being retracted from the opening when the case is in the document reading position to permit passage of light through the openings so the document can be read.
