Abstract
In an image forming system including: an image forming section configured to form an image on a sheet; a reading section configured to read the image formed on the sheet by the image forming section; and a control section configured to control image forming by the image forming section and reading by the reading section, the control section determines characteristics on reading of the image formed on the sheet by the reading section depending on an intended use of the image to be read by the reading section.
Claims21
An image forming apparatus comprising:
- an image forming section configured to form an image on a sheet;
- a reading section configured to read the image formed on the sheet by the image forming section;
- and
- a control section configured to control image forming by the image forming section and reading by the reading section,
- wherein the control section determines characteristics on the reading of the image formed on the sheet by the reading section, depending on an intended use of the image to be read by the reading section.
A reading apparatus connected on a downstream side of an image forming apparatus for forming an image on a sheet and configured to read the image on the sheet discharged from the image forming apparatus, the apparatus comprising:
- a reading section configured to read the image formed on the sheet by the image forming apparatus,
- wherein the reading section determines characteristics on reading of the image formed on the sheet by the reading section, depending on an intended use of the image to be read.
A control method of reading an image on a sheet discharged from an image forming section in an image forming system, wherein the image forming system include:
- the image forming section configured to form the image on the sheet;
- the reading section configured to read the image formed on the sheet by the image forming section;
- and a control section configured to control image forming by the image forming section and reading by the reading section, the control method comprising the step of:
- the control section determining characteristics when reading the image formed on the sheet by the reading section, depending on an intended use of the image to be read.
