Abstract
The image forming apparatus includes a printing device, an image reading device, a job management unit, and a document detection processing unit. The image reading device reads an image in a predetermined range in which a document can be arranged, as a read image. The job management unit acquires a front side image and a back side image of a card document, and prints the front side image and the back side image on both sides of a print sheet using the printing device. The document detection processing unit specifies a document image area of the front side image and a document image area of the back side image. The job management unit selects a larger size as the common image area size when a difference in size between the document image areas of the front side and the back side exceeds a predetermined threshold.
Claims5
An image forming apparatus comprising
- a printing device;
- an image reading device that optically reads an image in a predetermined range in which a document can be placed, as a read image;
- a job management unit that acquires a first read image including a front side image of a card document and a second read image including a back side image of the card document by using the image reading device, and print the front side image in the first read image and the back side image in the second read image on both sides of a print sheet by using the printing device, thereby executing a job of duplex copy of the card document;
- and
- a document detection processing unit that specifies a document image area of the front side image in the first read image and a document image area of the back side image in the second read image,
- wherein when a difference between a size of the document image area of the front side image and a size of the document image area of the back side image exceeds a predetermined threshold, the job management unit (a) as image area optimization processing, (a1) selects a larger size of the document image area of the front side image and the document image area of the back side image as a common image area size, (a2) extracts the front side image from the first read image with the common image area size and extracting the back side image from the second read image with the common image area size, and (b) prints the extracted front side image and the extracted back side image at the same magnification ratio at predetermined positions on the front side and the back side of the print sheet using the printing device.
