Abstract
According to one embodiment, an image processing apparatus has a storage unit and a scanner to read an image from a sheet, generate image data by the reading of the image from the sheet, and store the image data in the storage unit. A control unit combines a reading-direction image indicating a reading direction of the scanner with the generated image data to produce combined image data, and then stores the combined image data in the storage unit, The control unit is configured to set a position where the reading-direction image is arranged in the combined image data and a size of the reading-direction image based on a reading resolution in the reading of the image from the sheet by the scanner and a recording resolution of the image data recorded in the storage unit.

An image processing apparatus, comprising:
- a storage unit;
- a scanner configured to:
- read an image from a sheet,
- generate image data by the reading of the image from the sheet, and
- store the image data in the storage unit;
- and
- a control unit configured to:
- combine a reading-direction image indicating a reading direction of the image from sheet by the scanner with the generated image data from the scanner to produce combined image data including the reading-direction image and the image data, and
- store the combined image data in the storage unit, wherein
- the control unit is configured to set a position where the reading-direction image is arranged in the combined image data and a size of the reading-direction image in the combined image data based on a reading resolution in the reading of the image from the sheet by the scanner and a recording resolution of the image data recorded in the storage unit.
An image forming apparatus, comprising:
- a storage unit;
- a printer configured to form images on sheets;
- a scanner configured to:
- read an image from a sheet,
- generate image data by the reading of the image from the sheet, and
- store the image data in the storage unit;
- and
- a control unit configured to:
- combine a reading-direction image indicating a reading direction of the image from sheet by the scanner with the generated image data from the scanner to produce combined image data including the reading-direction image and the image data, and
- store the combined image data in the storage unit, wherein
- the control unit is configured to set a position where the reading-direction image is arranged in the combined image data and a size of the reading-direction image in the combined image data based on a reading resolution in the reading of the image from the sheet by the scanner and a recording resolution of the image data recorded in the storage unit.
A multi-functional peripheral apparatus, comprising:
- a storage unit;
- a printer configured to form images on sheets;
- a scanner configured to:
- read an image from a sheet placed on a document platen or fed by an auto-document feeder,
- generate image data by the reading of the image from the sheet, and
- store the image data in the storage unit;
- and
- a control unit configured to:
- combine a reading-direction image indicating a reading direction of the image from sheet by the scanner with the generated image data from the scanner to produce combined image data including the reading-direction image and the image data, and
- store the combined image data in the storage unit, wherein
- the control unit is configured to set a position where the reading-direction image is arranged in the combined image data and a size of the reading-direction image in the combined image data based on a reading resolution in the reading of the image from the sheet by the scanner and a recording resolution of the image data recorded in the storage unit.
