Abstract
An image reading apparatus includes a platen on which an original is to be placed, a scanner unit configured to emit light to the original placed on the platen and receive light reflected from the original, to thereby read an image of the original, and at least one processor configured to control the scanner unit to generate an image signal representing the image based on a result of reading the image of the original by the scanner unit, wherein, in a case in which a plurality of originals are placed on the platen, the at least one processor is configured to control the scanner unit to emit the light with a first light amount in a case where the plurality of originals are originals having a first type, and emit the light with a second light amount.
Claims18
An image reading apparatus comprising:
- a platen on which an original is to be placed;
- a scanner unit configured to emit light to the original placed on the platen and receive light reflected from the original, to thereby read an image of the original;
- and
- at least one processor configured to control the scanner unit to generate an image signal representing the image based on a result of reading the image of the original by the scanner unit,
- wherein the at least one processor is configured to:
- display, on a display, a first screen that allows a user to enable a multi-crop mode;
- and
- display, in a case where the multi-crop mode is enabled on the first screen, a second screen that allows a user to select whether a type of document to be read in the multi-crop mode is a text document or a photo document.
An image forming system comprising:
- an image forming apparatus configured to form an image on a sheet;
- and
- an image reading apparatus configured to read an image from an original, and generate an image signal representing the read image,
- wherein the image forming apparatus is configured to acquire the image signal from the image reading apparatus, and form, on the sheet, an image based on the acquired image signal,
- wherein the image reading apparatus includes:
- a platen on which an original is to be placed;
- a scanner unit configured to emit light to the original placed on the platen and receive light reflected from the original, to thereby read an image of the original;
- and
- at least one processor configured to control the scanner unit to generate an image signal representing the image based on a result of reading the image of the original by the scanner unit,
- wherein the at least one processor is configured to:
- display, on a display, a first screen that allows a user to enable a multi-crop mode;
- and
- display, in a case where the multi-crop mode is enabled on the first screen, a second screen that allows a user to select whether a type of document to be read in the multi-crop mode is a text document or a photo document.
