Abstract
An image forming device includes a CPU. The CPU causes an image reader to collectively read a plurality of documents placed in each divided area of a document placement table and acquire individual images according to a user operation. Furthermore, the CPU generates, for each divided area, an image file that includes the image. In addition, if document reading is executed in a state where a document is placed in an inappropriate position, a notification screen for notifying the user that the document is not appropriately placed is displayed on a display before the image file data is generated.
Claims4
An image reading device, comprising:
- a processor,
- wherein the processor executes:
- a whole image generator that divides a read area of a document placement table into a plurality of areas, multiple times executes read processing that collectively reads an image of a document in the plurality of areas, and generates a whole image that corresponds to a whole of the plurality of areas in each read processing;
- an extractor that extracts an individual image corresponding to the document from the whole image;
- an image file generator that generates a plurality of image files in which a plurality of individual images acquired by executing each read processing are collected by the plurality of areas;
- a second determiner that determines, based on the plurality of individual images acquired by executing the each read processing and collected by the plurality of areas, whether or not there is an area among the plurality of areas, in which a document characteristic has changed in the each read processing;
- and
- a notifier that notifies a user that there is the area in which the document characteristic has changed in the each read processing if the second determiner determines that there is the area in which the document characteristic has changed in the each read processing.
A control method of an image reading device that divides a read area of a document placement table into a plurality of areas, multiple times executes read processing that collectively reads an image of a document in the plurality of areas, and generates a whole image that corresponds to a whole of the plurality of areas in each read processing, the control method comprising:
- (a) extracting an individual image corresponding to the document from the whole image;
- (b) generating a plurality of image files in which a plurality of individual images acquired by executing the each read processing are collected by the plurality of areas;
- (c) determining, based on the plurality of individual images acquired by, executing the each read processing and collected by the plurality of areas, whether or not there is an area among the plurality of areas, in which a document characteristic has changed in the each read processing;
- and
- (d) notifying a user that there is the area in which the document characteristic has changed in the each read processing.
