a first introducing part configured to introduce a first-type sheet toward the conveyer; a second introducing part configured to introduce a second-type sheet different from the first-type sheet toward the conveyer; a cover configured to be displaced between an open state, in which the second introducing part is opened, and a closed state, in which the first introducing part is opened and the second introducing part is closed; an image processor configured to perform image processing according to a sheet conveyed by the conveyer; and a controller, wherein in a case where the cover is in the closed state, the controller performs a first setting process to set a first image processing condition corresponding to image processing according to the first-type sheet. ## Claims ### Claim 1 An image processing apparatus comprising: a conveyer configured to convey a sheet; a first introducing part configured to introduce a first-type sheet toward the conveyer; a second introducing part configured to introduce a second-type sheet different from the first-type sheet toward the conveyer; a cover configured to be displaced between an open state, in which the second introducing part is opened, and a closed state, in which the first introducing part is opened and the second introducing part is closed; an image processor configured to perform image processing according to a sheet conveyed by the conveyer; and a controller, wherein in a case where the cover is in the closed state, the controller performs a first setting process to set a first image processing condition corresponding to image processing according to the first-type sheet. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The image processing apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising: a cover sensor configured to detect an open-and-closed state of the cover, wherein the controller detects the open-and-closed state of the cover by the cover sensor. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The image processing apparatus according to claim 2, wherein, in the open state, the cover opens the first introducing part and opens the second introducing part. ### Claim 4 (depends on 2) The image processing apparatus according to claim 2, further comprising a request receiver configured to receive a request to perform the image processing, wherein when the request is received by the request receiver, the controller performs detection of the open-and-closed state of the cover by the cover sensor and the first setting process when the cover is in the closed state, and then the controller controls the image processor such that the image processor performs the image processing according to the first image processing condition set by the first setting process. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The image processing apparatus according to claim 4, wherein in a case where the cover is in the open state and there is no second-type sheet, the controller determines whether a predetermined time or more has elapsed after the reception of the request by the request receiver, wherein in a case where the predetermined time or more has not elapsed, the controller performs detection of the open-and-closed state of the cover by the cover sensor again, and wherein in a case where the predetermined time or more has elapsed, the controller does not perform the image processing. ### Claim 6 (depends on 4) The image processing apparatus according to claim 4, wherein when the request is received by the request receiver, after a predetermined time elapses after the reception of the corresponding request, the controller performs detection of the open-and-closed state of the cover by the cover sensor. ### Claim 7 (depends on 2) The image processing apparatus according to claim 2, further comprising a first sheet sensor configured to detect existence a first-type sheet introduced in the first introducing part, wherein the controller performs detection of the open-and-closed state of the cover by the cover sensor and performs detection of existence of the first-type sheet by the first sheet sensor, and wherein in a case where the cover is in the closed state and there is the first-type sheet, the controller performs the first setting process. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The image processing apparatus according to claim 7, wherein the controller performs detection of the open-and-closed state of the cover by the cover sensor, wherein in a case where the cover is in the closed state, the controller performs detection of existence of the first-type sheet by the first sheet sensor, and wherein in a case where the cover is in the open state, the controller does not perform detection of existence of the first-type sheet by the first sheet sensor. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The image processing apparatus according to claim 8, further comprising a second sheet sensor configured to detect existence a second-type sheet introduced in the second introducing part, wherein the controller performs detection of existence of a second-type sheet by the second sheet sensor, and wherein in a case where the cover is in the closed state and where there is a first-type sheet and there is no second-type sheet, the controller performs the first setting process. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The image processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the controller performs: transmitting information representing the closed state of the cover to an external apparatus in a case where the cover is in the closed state; and receiving the first image processing condition from the external apparatus as a response to the information, and wherein in the first setting process, the controller sets the first image processing condition received by the receiving process. ### Claim 11 (depends on 1) The image processing apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising; a display configured to display an image processing condition; and a change receiver configured to receive a change of the image processing condition displayed on the display unit, wherein in a case where the cover in the closed state, in the first setting process, the controller controls the display unit such that the display unit displays the first image processing condition. ### Claim 12 (depends on 1) The image processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein in a case where the cover in the open state, the controller performs a second setting process to set a second image processing condition corresponding to image processing according to the second-type sheet. ### Claim 13 (depends on 1) The image processing apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising a first sheet sensor configured to detect existence of the first-type sheet introduced in the first introducing part, wherein, in the open state, the cover covers the first introducing part and opens the second introducing part, wherein the controller performs detection of existence of the first-type sheet by the first sheet sensor, and wherein in a case where there is the first-type sheet, the controller performs the first setting process. ### Claim 14 (depends on 1) The image processing apparatus according to claim 1 wherein the image processor is an image reading unit configured to read a sheet and generate image data.
