Abstract
An image output device includes an acquisition unit that acquires original image data indicating an original image, a storage unit that certifies, for each of blocks, whether the original image is a barcode area and that stores output image data for outputting the original image, and an output unit that performs output based on the output image data using methods that are different between an area indicated to be the barcode area and an area indicated not to be the barcode area, wherein the output image data is JPEG data compressed for the each block.

An image output device comprising:
- an acquisition unit that acquires original image data representing an original image, wherein the original image data has been divided into a plurality of blocks;
- a first generation unit that certifies, for each of the plurality of blocks, whether the original image is a barcode area, and that generates area information indicating whether the original image is the barcode area, the area information being associated with each of the blocks;
- a storage unit that stores output image data for outputting the original image;
- and
- an output unit that performs output based on the output image data using methods that are different between an area indicated, by the area information, to be the barcode area and an area indicated not to be the barcode area, wherein the output image data is JPEG data compressed for the each block.
