Abstract
A configuration is provided that has a binding position designation unit that designates the binding position of a document, a reading unit that reads images on the front side and back side of the document and creates image data of each one, a judgment unit that judges whether the scanning start position of the document is the short side or the long side based on the scan length of a secondary scanning direction when the reading unit reads the document, and a control unit that controls the processing of image data in a manner such that the directions of the front side and back side of the document are correct based on information of the designated binding position of the document and the judged scanning start position of the document.
Claims9
A facsimile apparatus comprising:
- a scanner configured to scan image data on both sides of a document, the document having a binding position, a plurality of the documents being bindable at the binding positions;
- a panel configured to input information regarding the binding position, the information indicating whether the binding position is provided at a long side of the document or at a short side of the document;
- a transmitter configured to transmit the scanned image data;
- and
- a controller configured to determine whether a scanning start position of the document is set on the long side of the document or on the short side of the document, based on a scanning length of a secondary scanning direction of the scanned document,
- the controller, when the information regarding the binding position input by the panel indicates that the binding position is provided at the long side of the document and when the scanning start position is determined to be set on the short side of the document, being further configured to rotate the image data of the back side of the document by 180 degrees,
- the transmitter being further configured to transmit the image data of the front side of the document and the rotated image data of the back side of the document.
