Estimating the term…
A scanner is provided with an image memory for storing therein image data read from an original by an image sensor, an image processing portion for effecting image processing on the image data, and a sending portion for sending the image data to an external equipment. The image processing portion is disposed in a route along which the image data is forwarded from the image memory to the sending portion, and the contents of the image processing by the image processing portion is made changeable over. The external equipment is provided with an image analyzing portion for obtaining first image data image-processed in a first image mode from the scanner and analyzing it, and detecting the state of the original (such as whether the original is a white sheet) from which the first image data has been read. On the basis of the result of the detection by the image analyzing portion, second image data image-processed in a second image mode is obtained from the scanner.
An image processing apparatus comprising:
A controlling method for an image processing apparatus provided with a storing portion which stores image data read from an original by a reading operation, a sending portion which sends the image data to an external equipment, and an image processing portion disposed in a route along which the image data is forwarded from the storing portion to the sending portion, the image processing portion which selectively executes image processing of producing first image data based on a first image condition and image processing of producing second image data based on a second image condition on the image data, said controlling method comprising:
A program for executing the following functions by control of a computer by use of an image processing apparatus provided with a storing portion which stores image data read from an original by a reading portion, a sending portion which sends the image data to an external equipment, and an image processing portion disposed in a route along which the image data is forwarded from the storing portion to the sending portion, the image processing portion which selectively executes image processing of producing first image data based on a first image condition and image processing of producing second image data based on a second image condition on the image data, said program comprising the procedures of:
