    Abstract: In a case where values received indicate a first color scale representing first number of colors and indicate the specific image process, a processor of an information processing apparatus receives first scan data in the first color scale from the scanner, and performs a specific image process on the first scan data. In a case where the values indicate a second color scale representing second number of colors and does not indicate the specific image process, the processor receives and outputs the second scan data. In a case where the values indicate the second color scale and the specific image process, the processor receives third scan data in the third color scale representing third number of colors larger than the second number. The processor performs the specific image process on the third scan data, and converts the processed third scan data to forth scan data in the second color scale.

    Abstract: In an information processing apparatus, a processor determines, on the basis of a setting value, at least one image process to be performed on the first scan data. The processor performs a clipping process on first scan data to generate second scan data including original scan data and not including outer scan data. The processor performs an edge correction process on the second scan data to generate third scan data by correcting edge data of the original scan data. The processor performs a characteristic acquisition process on the third scan data to acquire characteristic information indicating a characteristic of the third scan data. The processor performs a specific process on the second scan data by using the characteristic information in a case where both the clipping process and the characteristic acquisition process are determined to be performed and the edge correction process is determined not to be performed.

    Abstract: A scanning system includes a scanner, an information processing apparatus, and a processor. The processor receives an input via a user interface and determines each of a plurality of image processes to be performed on scan data. In a case where first and second image processes are determined to be performed, the processor instructs the scanner to output the scan data to the information processing apparatus, and instructs the information processing apparatus to perform the first and second image processes. In a case where the first image process is determined not to be performed and the second image process is to be determined to be, the processor instructs the scanner to perform the second image process on the scan data to generate information, and instructs the scanner to output the generated information to the information processing apparatus.

    Abstract: A non-transitory storage medium stores a supporting program executable by a computer of an information processing apparatus. The supporting program is configured to support a printing program of an operating system of the information processing apparatus. The printing program of the operating system is configured to process data so as to display a print setting screen on a display of the information processing apparatus, Service information which is information related to a service applicable to the external printer is stored in the external printer. The supporting program causes the information processing apparatus to obtaining the service information, generating, based on the obtained service information, notification data indicating a notifying image to a user, and displaying the notifying image on the print setting screen displayed on the display of the information processing apparatus by outputting the generated notification data to the printing program of the operating system.

    Abstract: In an image processing apparatus, in a case where setting values indicate to create scan data by using digital halftoning and requires execution of a prescribed process using a result of character recognition, a controller outputs an instruction to create multiple-value scan data having a pixel value represented by two or more bits. The controller executes the character recognition on the multiple-value scan data. The controller converts the multiple-value scan data into converted scan data by using digital halftoning, and executes the prescribed process on the converted scan data. In a case where the setting values indicate to create scan data by using a method different from the digital halftoning, and requires execution of the prescribed process, the controller outputs an instruction to create setting-based scan data. The controller executes the character recognition on the setting-based scan data. The controller executes the prescribed process on the setting-based scan data.
