Abstract
An original reading apparatus conveys an original placed on an original stacking unit, reads the conveyed original, makes a setting about whether to validate a function of interrupting conveyance of originals upon detection of double feed of the originals during conveyance of the originals in accordance with detection of originals stacked on the original stacking unit, detects an original placed on the original stacking unit, and validates the function based on the made setting in accordance with detection of the original by the original detection unit.
Claims11
An image reading apparatus comprising:
- an original stacking tray;
- a first sensor that detects that an original is placed on the original stacking tray;
- a conveyor that conveys the original placed on the original stacking tray;
- a scanner that reads the original conveyed by the conveyor;
- a second sensor that detects double feed of originals conveyed by the conveyor;
- a setting unit configured to make a setting about whether to validate or to invalidate a function of interrupting scanning of originals by the scanner in accordance with a detection, by the second sensor, of double feed of the originals conveyed by the conveyor;
- and
- a notification unit configured to notify that the setting unit makes the setting about whether to validate or to invalidate the function,
- wherein the notifying unit notifies that the function is valid in accordance with a detection, by the first sensor, that the original is placed on the original stacking tray,
- wherein at least one of the setting unit and the notification unit is implemented by a processor and a memory.
A method for controlling an image reading apparatus in which the image reading apparatus comprises an original stacking tray, a first sensor that detects that an original is placed on the original stacking tray, a conveyor that conveys the original placed on the original stacking tray, a scanner that reads the original conveyed by the conveyor, and a second sensor that detects double feed of originals conveyed by the conveyor, the method comprising:
- making a setting about whether to validate or to invalidate a function of interrupting scanning of originals by the scanner in accordance with detection, by the second sensor, of double feed of the originals conveyed by the conveyor;
- and
- notifying making of the setting about whether to validate or to invalidate the function,
- wherein said notifying notifies that the function is validated in accordance with a detection, by the first sensor, that the original is placed on the original stacking tray.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program for causing a computer to execute a method for controlling an image reading apparatus in which the image reading apparatus comprises an original stacking tray, a first sensor that detects that an original is placed on the original stacking tray, a conveyor that conveys the original placed on the original stacking tray, a scanner that read the original conveyed by the conveyor, and a second sensor that detects double feed of originals conveyed by the conveyor, the method comprising:
- making a setting about whether to validate or to invalidate a function of interrupting scanning of originals by the scanner in accordance with detection, by the second sensor, of double feed of the originals conveyed by the conveyor;
- and
- notifying making of the setting about whether to validate or to invalidate the function,
- wherein said notifying notifies that the function is validated in accordance with a detection, by the first sensor, that the original is placed on the original stacking tray.
