US 6,643,028 B1 · Method for storing image of original and image processing apparatus

Abstract

In this invention, a digital copying machine to be connected to a network feeds originals in each document unit for each sheet by use of an ADF to read the images of the originals and prints the read images in each document unit for each page in a printing form selected by the user. Therefore, a plurality of original images read in each document unit can be effectively confirmed in accordance with the purpose of the user on the spot where the reading operation is effected. Further, the actual concentration can be adjusted while observing reduced images on the confirmation sheet and inputting of an actual image and inputting for correction can be easily attained. In a case where a specified page among a plurality of originals is scanned again, all of the originals are set on the original table of the ADF without extracting the specified page from the originals and the specified page can be scanned again. Therefore, the pages of the originals can be kept in order. Further, since only the necessary page is scanned, time can be saved. Therefore, specification of rescanning can be easily made and a sheaf of originals (document) can be kept as it is.

Dependent claims

A method for storing images of originals, comprising:

a reading step of sequentially feeding a plurality of originals in each document unit and reading images of the originals;
a storing step of storing the images read in said reading step;
an output step of outputting the images read in said reading step;
a setting step of setting a rereading process by said reading step based on the output of said output step;
a selecting step of selecting the original to be reread by said setting step;
a processing step of sequentially feeding the plurality of originals read by said reading step again by said reading step and rereading the images of the originals selected by said selecting step;
and
a replacing step of replacing a corresponding images of the originals stored by said storing step with the images of the originals reread by said processing step.

An image processing apparatus comprising:

reading means for sequentially feeding a plurality of originals in each document unit and reading images of the originals;
storing means for storing the images of the originals read by said reading means;
printing means for reducing a plurality of images read by said reading means to print the reduced images on a printing medium for confirmation, printing a description frame for specifying a rereading process and a description frame for specifying change of a rereading parameters for each reduced image on the printing medium for confirmation, and printing information indicating the printing medium for confirmation;
determining means for determining specification of the rereading process and specification of change of the rereading parameters for each image according to the contents of the description frame for specifying the rereading process and the description frame for specifying the parameters at the rereading time which are attached to each reduced image when the printing medium for confirmation is read by said reading means and it is determined that the printing medium for confirmation is read according to the information indicating the printing medium for confirmation based on the thus read image of the printing medium for confirmation;
and
processing means for causing said reading means to selectively read images of the originals corresponding to the images for which specification of the rereading process is determined by said determining means while changing the parameters at the reading time according to specification of change of the rereading parameters determined by said determining means.
