摘要:
A document scanner (10) includes an input tray (20) for holding documents (11). An input image capture device (30) captures at least a portion of the images of documents in the input tray. An image processor (65) determines characteristics of documents in the input tray, and the documents are processed based on the characteristics. At least one characteristic is document length (70), or width (80), or position (170), or other characteristics. An ultrasonic zone (160) detects the documents; and the ultrasonic zones are enabled or disabled in at least one location down the document based on at least one characteristic.

An image reading device includes a feeding unit, a reading unit, and a processor. The feeding unit is configured to feed a plurality of sheets of original document one by one. The reading unit is configured to read an image on each of the plurality of sheets fed by the feeding unit and generate image data representing the image. The processor is configured to function as a selecting unit and a determining unit. The selecting unit is configured to select a criterion from among a plurality of criteria. The determining unit is configured to determine, according to the criterion selected by the selecting unit, whether or not a sheet of the original document is actually fed while being overlapped with another sheet of the original document based on image data corresponding to the sheet.

A control unit for controlling a document conveying operation stops the conveyance of a document by a document conveying unit if document(s) is/are placed on a placing portion, the document is being conveyed and an upper structure is not in a closing posture. Further, the control unit stops the conveyance of the document when the trailing end of the document being conveyed has not passed a document reading position and, on the other hand, causes the document to be discharged to a document discharging portion without stopping the conveyance of the document when the trailing end has passed the document reading position if no document is placed on the placing portion, the document is being conveyed and the upper structure is not in the closing posture.

A document conveying device includes a document conveying unit, a controller, first and second document detectors, a pulse count detector, and a determining unit. The first document detector is located on a feeding path along which a document is fed by the document conveying unit, and detects a document leading edge. The second document detector is located at a position different from that of the first document detector in both a document feeding direction and a direction orthogonal thereto, and detects the document leading edge. The determining unit determines whether the number of pulses detected by the pulse count detector during the period from detection of the document leading edge by one of the first and second document detectors to detection of the document leading edge by the other exceeds a predetermined value. If the number of pulses exceeds the predetermined value, the controller stops the document feeding operation.

摘要:
The image reader according to the present invention comprises a housing having substantially a box-shape and having an image reading surface contacting a document, a document detecting section provided to this image reading surface for detecting a document P, and an image reading section for reading an image on the document when the document P is detected by the document detecting section 105. This image reader enables improvement in convenience for users, operability, and adaptability for handling, and also it is small in size.

Even if a user sets an erroneous setting to a sheet, in order to provide an image formation system which can recycle sheets and improve operability without executing incorrect processing to the sheet, a reference value, which is referred in confirming an abnormal state of the sheet to be conveyed, before a generation of sheet size information is made to differ from the reference value after the generation of the sheet size information on the basis of a sheet detected result. In accordance with the sheet size information to be confirmed and the sheet size information acquired according to an instruction from an operator, processing corresponding to the instruction from the operator to the sheet is invalidated. An image formation operation is interrupted in accordance with the sheet size information to be confirmed and the sheet size information acquired according to the instruction from the operator.
摘要:
The present invention discloses a scanned document auto-detecting apparatus for detecting the presence of a scanned document without additional control circuit. Based on the decision result, a scanning procedure starts to degrade cost by removing the additional control circuit, and furthermore, the scanned document auto-detecting apparatus can prevent users from running the scanning procedure wastefully when there is no scanned document. The scanned document auto-detecting apparatus sets a specific pattern at inner side of the cover. This specific pattern is first scanned before the scanning procedure starts as to decide the presence of the scanned document.
