Image processing apparatus capable of processing images on both side original

An image processing apparatus comprising:

• input means for inputting images on one side and the other side of an original;
• selecting means for selecting one of a one side processing mode and a two side processing mode, the one side processing mode being adapted to process an image on only one side of an original, and the two side processing [second]mode being adapted to process images on both sides of an original;
• processing means for processing the images, input from said input means, in accordance with the mode selected by said selecting means;
• discriminating means for discriminating whether the images input from said input means are images on an original of a first type or images on an original of a second type;
• and
• control means for, when the one side processing mode is selected by said selecting means, maintaining the one side processing mode, if the discrimination result of said discriminating means indicates an original of the first type, and switching one side processing mode to the two side processing mode if the discrimination result indicates an original of the second type.

• selecting means for selecting one of a one side processing mode and a two side processing mode, the one side processing mode being adapted to process and image on only one side of an original, and the two side processing mode being adapted to process images on both sides of an original;
• processing means for processing the images, input from said input means, in accordance with the mode selected by said selecting means;
• discriminating means for discriminating whether the images input from said input means are images on an original of a first type or images on an original of a second type:
• and
• control means for, when the one side processing mode is selected by said selecting means, maintaining the one side processing mode, if the discrimination result of said discriminating means indicates an original of the first type, and controlling said selecting means to select either maintaining the one side processing mode or switching the one side processing mode to the two side processing model in accordance with a command from an operator, if the discrimination result indicates an original of the second type.

An image processing apparatus comprising:

• input means for inputting images on one side and the other side of an original
• mode selecting means for selecting one of one side storing mode and two side storing mode, the one side storing mode being adapted to store an image on only one side of an original in a storage medium, and the two side storing mode being adapted to store images on both sides of an original in said storage medium;
• discriminating means for discriminating whether the images input from said input means are images on an original of a first type or images on an original of a second type;
• and
• control means for, when the one side storing mode is selected by said mode selecting means, storing the image on only one side of the original in said storage medium, if the discrimination result of said discriminating means indicates an original of the first type, and for controlling whether the image on one side of the original stored in said storage medium is deleted, in accordance with a command from an operator after the images on both sides of the original are stored in said storage medium, if the discrimination results indicates an original of the second type.
