Abstract
A scanning system includes: a document reading unit configured to read a document and generate image data read from the document; a prompting unit configured to prompt a notification unit to add, after the document reading unit reads a preceding document, a subsequent document subsequent to the preceding document; and an output unit configured to, after the document reading unit reads the subsequent document according to the addition, separate and output preceding image data read from the preceding document and subsequent image data read from the subsequent document.
Claims9
A scanning system comprising:
- an image sensor
- configured to read a preceding document to digitally generate preceding image data from the preceding document, and
- configured to read a subsequent document subsequent to the preceding document according to an addition operation of the subsequent document to digitally generate subsequent image data;
- and
- a processor
- configured to prompt a user to perform the addition operation of the subsequent document and a selection between a first setting in which the preceding image data and the subsequent image data are output in different digital files, respectively, and a second setting in which the preceding image data and the subsequent image data are output with different indicators, respectively, in one digital file, after the image sensor reads the preceding document, and
- configured to
- digitally generate, in response to receiving a selection of the second setting, the one digital file that contains the preceding image data and the subsequent image data with the different indicators, respectively, after the image sensor reads the subsequent document in response to the addition operation of the subsequent document, and
- digitally generate, in response to receiving a selection of the first setting, the different digital files that contain the preceding image data and the subsequent image data, respectively, after the image sensor reads the subsequent document in response to the addition operation of the subsequent document.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing an information processing program, the program causing a computer to execute:
- acquiring preceding image data digitally generated by reading a preceding document by an image sensor and subsequent image data digitally generated by reading a subsequent document subsequent to the preceding document according to an addition operation of the subsequent document;
- prompting a user to perform the addition operation of the subsequent document and a selection between a first setting in which the preceding image data and the subsequent image data are output in different digital files, respectively, and a second setting in which the preceding image data and the subsequent image data are output with different indicators, respectively, in one digital file, after the image sensor reads the preceding document;
- and
- digitally generating, in response to receiving a selection of the second setting, the one digital file that contains the preceding image data and the subsequent image data with the different indicators, respectively, after the image sensor reads the subsequent document in response to the addition operation of the subsequent document, and
- digitally generating, in response to receiving a selection of the first setting, the different digital files that contain the preceding image data and the subsequent image data, respectively, after the image sensor reads the subsequent document in response to the addition operation of the subsequent document.
