Abstract
A multifunctional machine for scanning and printing and a scanning and printing method used in the multifunctional machine are capable of reducing the volume of the multifunctional machine and reducing data amount relative to parts other than a document when scanning a document smaller than a reference size document. The document or a printable medium is fed in a sub-scanning direction by a feeding unit. A scanner module scans the document by performing shuttle movement in a main scanning direction perpendicular to the sub-scanning direction, and a printer module is established next to the scanner module in the sub-scanning direction for printing data onto the printable medium. In addition, a white panel is located facing the bottom side of the scanner module in the main scanning direction, and a black panel is located facing the bottom side of the printer module in the main scanning direction.
