Abstract
A controlling device may determine an output resolution according to one type of file format selected from a plurality of types of file format. The output resolution may be a resolution of image data to be included in a target file of a generation target. The plurality of types of file format may include a first type of file format and a second type of file format. The controlling device may determine a first resolution as the output resolution in a first case where the selected file format is the first type of file format, and determine a second resolution different from the first resolution as the output resolution in a second case where the selected file format is the second type of file format.
Claims13
A controlling device for controlling a scan performing unit, the controlling device comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- a memory that stores a computer program including instructions to be executed by the one or more processors,
- wherein the instructions cause the one or more processors, when executed by the one or more processors, to function as:
- a determination unit configured to determine an output resolution according to one type of file format selected from a plurality of types of file format, the output resolution being a resolution of image data to be included in a target file of a generation target, the plurality of types of file format including a first type of file format and a second type of file format different from the first type of file format;
- and
- a scan controlling unit configured to cause the scan performing unit to perform a scan of an original so as to generate scan data in order to cause a generating unit to generate the target file, the generating unit configured to generate the target file including the image data obtained using the scan data, the image data having the determined output resolution,
- wherein the determination unit is configured to
- determine a first resolution as the output resolution in a first case where the selected file format is the first type of file format, and
- determine a second resolution different from the first resolution as the output resolution in a second case where the selected file format is the second type of file format.
A controlling device for controlling a scan performing unit, the controlling device comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- a memory that stores a computer program including instructions to be executed by the one or more processors,
- wherein the instructions cause the one or more processors, when executed by the one or more processors, to function as:
- a format determination unit configured to determine a type of file format selected from a plurality of types of file format;
- and
- a scan controlling unit configured to cause the scan performing unit to perform a scan of an original so as to generate scan data in order to cause a generating unit to generate a target file of a generation target, the generating unit configured to generate the target file including the image data obtained using the scan data,
- wherein, in a first case that the determined type of file format is a format having a page concept and that the scan performing unit is to perform a scan of Y pages of an original, where Y is integer of 2 or more, the scan controlling unit is configured to cause the generating unit to generate the target file including first image data obtained using the scan data, the first image data having a first resolution, and
- wherein, in a second case that the determined type of file format is the format having a page concept and that the scan performing unit is to perform a scan of single page of an original, the scan controlling unit is configured to cause the generating unit to generate the target file including second image data obtained using the scan data, the second image data having a second resolution.
A non-transitory computer readable recording medium including a computer program for a controlling device configured to control a scan performing unit, the computer program including instructions for causing one or more processors mounted on the controlling device to perform:
- determining an output resolution according to one type of file format selected from a plurality of types of file format, the output resolution being a resolution of image data to be included in a target file of a generation target, the plurality of types of file format including a first type of file format and a second type of file format different from the first type of file format;
- and
- causing the scan performing unit to perform a scan of an original so as to generate scan data in order to cause a generating unit to generate the target file, the generating unit configured to generate the target file including the image data obtained using the scan data, the image data having the determined output resolution,
- wherein the determining the output resolution includes
- determining a first resolution as the output resolution in a first case where the selected file format is the first type of file format, and
- determining a second resolution different from the first resolution as the output resolution in a second case where the selected file format is the second type of file format.
A non-transitory computer readable recording medium including a computer program for a controlling device configured to control a scan performing unit, the computer program including instructions for causing one or more processors mounted on the controlling device to perform:
- determining a type of file format selected from a plurality of types of file format;
- and
- causing the scan performing unit to perform a scan of an original so as to generate scan data in order to cause a generating unit to generate a target file of a generation target, the generating unit configured to generate the target file including the image data obtained using the scan data, p1 wherein, in a first case that the determined type of file format is a format having a page concept and that the scan performing unit is to perform a scan of Y pages of an original, where Y is integer of 2 or more, the causing the scan performing unit to perform the scan includes causing the generating unit to generate the target file including first image data obtained using the scan data, the first image data having a first resolution, and
- wherein, in a second case that the determined type of file format is the format having a page concept and that the scan performing unit is to perform a scan of single page of an original, the causing the scan performing unit to perform the scan includes causing the generating unit to generate the target file including second image data obtained using the scan data, the second image data having a second resolution.
