Abstract

An image reading device has an image reading portion, a control portion, and an operation portion. The image reading portion reads, by irradiating with light, a predetermined reading region including a region where a document is present. The control portion processes the image data read by the image reading portion. On the operation portion, instructions are input to the control portion. The control portion can operate in a consolidation mode where the read image data is consolidated to generate processed image data when the image reading portion reads image data of a previously set number of to-be-consolidated sheets. In the consolidation mode, when the number of sheets of read image data is smaller than the previously set number of to-be-consolidated sheets, on input of an instruction on the operation portion, the processed image data is generated based on the image data read before the instruction input.

Claims7

Dependent claims

An image reading device comprising:

an image reading portion is configured to irradiate with light a predetermined reading region including a region where a document is present and to read the reading region;
a control portion is configured to perform image processing on image data read by the image reading portion;
and
an operation portion on which a user performs instruction input with respect to the control portion,
wherein
the control portion can operate in a consolidation mode in which the read image data is consolidated to generate processed image data when the image reading portion has read image data corresponding to a previously set number of sheets to be consolidated, and
in the consolidation mode, when a number of sheets from which image data is read is smaller than the previously set number of sheets to be consolidated, in response to instruction input on the operation portion, the processed image data is generated based on the image data read before the instruction input.
