Image formation method, image formation apparatus, computer program, and storage medium

An image formation apparatus, comprising:

• an image formation unit that forms on a paper an image read from a document;
• a guide information printing unit that forms guide information at a predetermined position on the paper and prints on the paper a guide information, which represents a layout of the document;
• an image reading unit that reads an image from a document;
• and
• a guide presence/absence deciding unit that decides presence or absence of the guide information at the predetermined position, by analyzing the image read by the image reading unit, wherein when the guide presence/absence deciding unit decides that the guide information is present, the image formation unit forms only the image read by the image reading unit on a different paper and does not print the guide information on the different paper.

The An image formation apparatus, comprising:

• an image formation unit that forms on a paper an image read from a document;
• a guide information printing unit that prints on the paper a guide information, which represents a layout of the document, wherein the image formation unit is able to form valid images on a first surface and a second surface of the paper, and the guide information printing unit prints the guide information on any one of the first surface and the second surface of the paper;
• an image formation mode setting unit that selectively sets one of a single-side image formation mode in which the image formation unit forms an image on only the first surface of the paper, and a both-side image formation mode in which the image formation unit forms images on both the first surface and the second surface of the paper, wherein when the image formation mode setting unit has set the single-side image formation mode, the guide information printing unit forms on the first surface of the paper a first guide information that shows that a valid image is formed on the first surface, and when the image formation mode setting unit has set the both-side image formation mode, the guide information printing unit forms on any one of the first surface and the second surface of the paper a second guide information that shows that valid images are formed on the first surface and second surface of the paper;
• and
• a paper mode setting unit that selectively sets one of a normal single-side image formation mode of forming a valid image on the first surface of the paper having both the first surface and the second surface blank, and a back paper mode of forming a valid image on the second surface of the paper that has an invalid image formed on the first surface, when the image formation mode setting unit has set the single-side image formation mode, wherein when the paper mode setting unit has set the back paper mode, the guide information printing unit forms on the second surface of the paper a third guide information that shows that an invalid image has been formed on the first surface of the paper.

An image formation apparatus, comprising:

• an image formation unit that forms on a paper an image read from a document;
• a guide information printing unit that prints on the paper a guide information, which represents a layout of the document, wherein the guide information printing unit forms the guide information at a lower left corner of the paper;
• a guide presence/absence deciding unit that decides presence or absence of the guide information at the predetermined position;
• an image reading unit that reads an image from a document;
• an unclear image display unit that displays the image read by the image reading unit on a display section, when the guide presence/absence deciding unit has decided that there does not exist the guide information;
• and
• a need/non-need assigning unit that assigns necessity or non-necessity of the read image that the unclear image display unit has displayed on the display section, wherein the image formation unit forms the read image that the need/non-need assigning unit has assigned as the necessary image.

• a need/non-need assigning unit that assigns necessity or non-necessity of the read image that the unclear image display unit has displayed on the display section, wherein the image formation unit forms the read image that the need/non-need assigning unit has assigned as the necessary image.

A computer program that makes the computer execute:

• forming on a paper an image of a document with an image formation unit;
• printing on the paper a guide information, which represents a layout of the document, with the image formation unit;
• deciding whether a guide information exists in an image read by an image reading unit from a surface of a document;
• and
• when it is decided that the guide information exists in the read image, forming only the image read by the image reading unit on a different paper and not printing the guide information on the different paper.

A computer program that makes the computer execute:

• forming on a paper an image of a document with an image formation unit;
• printing on the paper a guide information, which represents a layout of the document, with the image formation unit;
• setting one of a single-side image formation mode of forming an image on a first surface of the paper, and a two-side image formation mode of forming images on the first surface and a second surface of the paper;
• when the single-side image formation mode is set, then forming a first guide information that shows that a valid image is formed on the first surface of the paper a first guide information that shows that a valid image is formed on the first surface;
• when the both-side image formation mode is set, then forming on any one of the first surface and the second surface of the paper a second guide information that shows that valid images are formed on the first surface and second surface of the paper;
• when the single-side image formation mode is set, setting one of a normal single-side image formation mode of forming a valid image on the first surface of the paper having both the first surface and the second surface blank, and a back paper mode of forming a valid image on the second surface of the paper that has an invalid image formed on the first surface;
• and
• when the back paper mode is set, then forming on the second surface of the paper a third guide information that shows that an invalid image has been formed on the first surface of the paper.
