Abstract
The present invention is directed to a technique for reducing communication errors in facsimile transmission while restraining an increase in the temperature of a motor during execution of jobs of different types when a temperature reduction control is executed.
Claims11
An image processing apparatus comprising:
- a document sheet conveyance unit configured to drive a driving portion to convey document sheets one by one from a stack of document sheets;
- a reading unit configured to read an image on a document sheet conveyed by the document sheet conveyance unit;
- a transmission unit configured to transmit, by facsimile, image data generated by the reading unit reading the document sheet to an external image processing apparatus;
- an output unit configured to output the image data generated by the reading unit reading the document sheet using a method different from transmission by facsimile;
- and
- a conveyance control unit configured to stop driving of the driving portion for a predetermined time period after conveyance of the document sheets by the document sheet conveyance unit is started and before reading of the document sheets by the reading unit is completed,
- wherein the predetermined period is a first time period when the conveyance control unit stops the driving portion while a first job of transmitting the image data by facsimile is executed by the transmission unit concurrently with reading of the document sheet by the reading unit, wherein the first time period is shorter than a reference time period, wherein a line is disconnected with the image processing apparatus in a case where the external image processing apparatus does not receive the image data continuously during the reference time, and
- wherein the predetermined period is a second time period when the conveyance control unit stops the driving portion while a second job of outputting the image data is executed by the output unit concurrently with reading of the document sheet by the reading unit, wherein the second time period is longer than the first time period.

A method of controlling an image processing apparatus, the method comprising:
- driving a driving portion to convey document sheets one by one from a stack of document sheets;
- reading an image on a conveyed document;
- transmitting, by facsimile, the image data generated by the reading of the document sheet to an external image processing apparatus;
- outputting the image data generated by the reading of the document sheet using a method different from transmission by facsimile;
- and
- stopping the driving of the driving portion for a predetermined time period after conveyance of the document sheets is started and before reading of the document sheets is completed,
- wherein the predetermined time period is a first time period when the driving portion is stopped while a first job of transmitting the image data by facsimile is executed concurrently with reading of the document sheet, wherein the first time period is shorter than a reference time period, wherein a line is disconnected with the image processing apparatus in a case where the external image processing apparatus does not receive the image data continuously during the reference time, and
- wherein the predetermined time period is a second time period when the driving portion is stopped while a second job of outputting the image data is executed concurrently with reading of the document sheet, wherein the second time period is longer than the first time period.
