Image reading apparatus and image reading system

An image reading system comprising a terminal device and an image reading apparatus configured to be communicably connected to the terminal device,

• wherein the image reading apparatus comprises:
• an input operation unit configured to receive user's input operation;
• a reading device configured to perform a scanning operation of reading an image of a document, and
• a control unit configured to perform:
• a communication receiving process of receiving a scan condition for the scanning operation through the terminal device;
• an input receiving process of receiving a scan condition for the scanning operation through the input operation unit;
• a selection receiving process of receiving a selection instruction received by the input operation unit and representing whether to perform a first reading mode or a second reading mode, wherein the first reading mode is for making the reading device perform the scanning operation preferentially on a basis of the scan condition received in the communication receiving process, and wherein the second reading mode is for making the reading device perform the scanning operation preferentially on a basis of the scan condition received in the input receiving process;
• and
• a scanning executing process of performing the reading mode selected by the selection instruction received in the selection receiving process.

A computer-readable storage medium having an image reading program stored thereon and readable by a computer of an image reading apparatus, wherein the image reading apparatus comprises a data communication unit configured to perform data communication with an external apparatus, an input operation unit configured to receive user's input operation, and a reading device configured to perform a scanning operation of reading an image of a document, the image reading program, when executed by the computer, causes the computer to perform operations comprising:

• a communication receiving process of receiving a scan condition for the scanning operation through the data communication unit;
• an input receiving process of receiving a scan condition for the scanning operation through the input operation unit;
• a selection receiving process of receiving a selection instruction received by the input operation unit and representing whether to perform a first reading mode or a second reading mode, wherein the first reading mode is for making the reading device perform the scanning operation preferentially on a basis of the scan condition received in the communication receiving process, and wherein the second reading mode is for making the reading device perform the scanning operation preferentially on a basis of the scan condition received in the input receiving process;
• and
• a scanning executing process of performing the reading mode selected by the selection instruction received in the selection receiving process.
