Abstract
An image processing system includes a plurality of document holders for supporting original documents and having identification data, a setup apparatus for determining setup conditions relating to the original documents, and an image processing apparatus for processing an original image on determined setup conditions. The setup apparatus and image processing apparatus are interconnected through a communication line for transferring the setup conditions determined by the setup apparatus to the image processing apparatus. The image processing apparatus selects the setup conditions corresponding to the identification data, from the setup conditions transferred from the setup apparatus.
Claims25
An image processing system for reading and processing an original image, comprising:
- a plurality of document holders each for supporting an original document and having identification data;
- a setup apparatus for reading the identification data and determining setup conditions relating to said original document;
- an image processing apparatus for reading the identification data from one of said plurality of document holders, and reading and processing the original image of the original document supported by one of said plurality of document holders;
- and
- a communication line, connecting said setup apparatus and said image processing apparatus, for transferring the identification data read by said setup apparatus and the setup conditions determined by said setup apparatus to said image processing apparatus,
- wherein said image processing apparatus is set with the setup conditions corresponding to the identification data read by said image processing apparatus to read and process the original image of the original document supported by said one of said plurality of document holders based on said setup conditions.
An image processing system for reading and processing an original image, comprising:
- a plurality of document holders each for supporting an original document and having an identification data for discrimination from the other holders;
- a setup apparatus for determining setup conditions relating to the original document, and including read means for reading the identification data from said document holders;
- an image processing apparatus for reading the identification data from one of said plurality of document holders, and reading and processing the original image of the original document supported by said one of said plurality of document holders;
- and
- a communication line, connecting said setup apparatus and said image processing apparatus, for transferring the identification data read by said image processing apparatus to said setup apparatus and the setup conditions determined by said setup apparatus of said image processing apparatus,
- wherein said setup apparatus transfers the setup conditions corresponding to the identification data transferred from said image processing apparatus, and said image processing apparatus is set with the setup conditions transferred to read and process the original image based on said setup conditions.
An image processing system for reading and processing an original image, comprising:
- a plurality of document holders each for supporting an original document and having setup apparatus identification data;
- a plurality of setup apparatuses each for determining setup conditions relating to said original documents;
- an image processing apparatus for reading the identification data from one of said plurality of document holders, and reading and processing the original image of the original document supported by said one of said plurality of document holders;
- and
- a communication line, interconnecting each of said setup apparatuses to said image processing apparatus, for transferring the setup conditions determined by said setup apparatuses to said image processing apparatus,
- wherein said image processing apparatus is set with the setup conditions determined by said setup apparatus corresponding to the identification data read by said image processing apparatus to read and process the original image based on said setup conditions.
An image processing method for use with an image processing system having a plurality of document holders each for supporting an original document and having identification data for discrimination from the other holders, a setup apparatus for reading the identification data and determining setup conditions relating to the original documents, an image processing apparatus for reading the identification data from one of said plurality of document holders and processing the original image on determined setup conditions, and a communication line for transferring the setup conditions determined by said setup apparatus to said image processing apparatus, said method comprising the steps of:
- setting one of said document holders to said setup apparatus to determine the setup conditions;
- outputting the setup conditions determined to said communication line as related to said identification data and said setup condition;
- setting said one of said document holders to said image processing apparatus to read the identification data therefrom;
- setting to said image processing apparatus the setup conditions transferred through said communication line corresponding to said identification data read by said image processing apparatus;
- and
- causing said image processing apparatus to read an original image from the document holder set thereto and to process said image on the setup conditions also set thereto.
An image processing method for use with an image processing system having a plurality of document holders each for supporting an original document and having setup apparatus identification data, a plurality of setup apparatuses for determining setup conditions relating to the original documents, an image processing apparatus for reading the identification data from one of said plurality of document holders, and processing the original image on determined setup conditions, and a communication line interconnecting each of said setup apparatuses and said image processing apparatus for transferring the setup conditions determined by said setup apparatuses to said image processing apparatus, said method comprising the steps of:
- setting one of said document holders to one of said setup apparatuses to determine the setup conditions;
- outputting the setup conditions determined to said communication line as related to said one of the setup apparatuses;
- setting said one of said document holders to said image processing apparatus to read the identification data therefrom;
- setting to said image processing apparatus the setup conditions transmitted through the communication line from said one of the setup apparatuses identified by the identification data read;
- and
- causing said image processing apparatus to rad an original image from the document holder set thereto and to process said image on the setup conditions also set thereto.
