Abstract
A scan job for scanning in an evidenced document is transmitted from a client terminal to a scanner. The scanner executes the scan job that has been received. If the scan job to be executed designates overlay printing, form data to be overlaid with the data scanned in by the scan job is selected (S205) and the selected form and scanned-in data are overlaid (S205). As a result, user operation is simplified while wasting of paper is eliminated.
Claims6
An information processing system including a client terminal, a server and a scanner connected to a network, said system having a sending unit that sends a scan job from said client terminal to said scanner, and said scanner includes:
- a receiving unit that receives the scan job;
- an operation unit that accepts a designation to execute the scan job received by said receiving unit;
- a scanning unit that scans in an evidenced document in accordance with the scan job and generates evidenced document data in a case where a designation to execute the scan job has been accepted;
- a selecting unit which, in a case where the received scan job includes an overlay designation to overlay the evidenced document data and form data, selects a form for being overlaid with the evidenced document data;
- and
- an overlay unit that overlays the data of the form selected by said selecting unit and the evidenced document data.
A method of controlling an information processing system including a client terminal, a server and a scanner connected to a network, said method comprising:
- a step of receiving a scan job;
- a scanning step of scanning in an evidenced document and generating evidenced document data in accordance with the received scan job;
- a selecting step of selecting a form for being overlaid with evidenced document data in a case where the received scan job includes an overlay designation to overlay the evidenced document data and form data;
- and
- an overlay step of overlaying the data of the form selected at said selecting step and the evidenced document data.
