The control portion adjusts reading sensitivity for the object on the basis of a detection result of the light detecting portion.
Claims18
A scanner device comprising:
- a document table;
- a light detecting portion that detects light from an object placed on the document table;
- a reading portion that reads an image of the object by scanning the object placed on the document table;
- and a control portion that adjusts reading sensitivity for the object on the basis of a detection result of the light detecting portion;
- and
- a display portion that displays a predetermined image;
- an operation portion that outputs an operation signal corresponding to an operation made on a display screen of the display portion;
- and
- a memory portion preliminarily storing a plurality of reading conditions including a reading condition for a self-luminous object,
- wherein the control portion controls to display buttons for allowing selection of the plural reading conditions on the display screen prior to detection by the light detecting portion, and when an operation signal of a selected button is correspondent to the reading condition for the self-luminous object, and light is not detected as a result of detection by the light detecting portion, the control portion adjusts the light source to be brighter than that in the selected reading condition.
