Abstract

Generally, a scanner of the present embodiment, which reads a first surface with a first reading section configured to read the first surface of a sheet and a second surface with a second reading section configured to read the second surface opposite to the first surface of the sheet, executes individual processing on a first reading image of the first surface and a second reading image of the second surface.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A scanner which reads a first surface of a sheet with a first reading section configured to read the first surface of the sheet and a second surface opposite to the first surface of the sheet with a second reading section configured to read the second surface of the sheet, wherein
the scanner is capable of independently receiving a setting of a first processing on a first reading image of the first surface of each sheet among a plurality of sheets and a setting of a second processing on a second reading image of the second surface of each sheet among the plurality of sheets, and
the first surface and the second surface of each sheet among the plurality of sheets are read continuously to create the first file which contains the first reading image of each sheet and does not contain the second reading image of each sheet and the second file which contains the second reading image of each sheet and does not contain the first reading image of each sheet, the scanner executes the first processing on the first file and executes the second processing on the second file after reading the first surfaces and the second surfaces of the plurality of sheets.

2. The scanner according to claim 1 , wherein
a space between the first reading section and the second reading section in a conveyance direction of the sheet is shorter than a length of the sheet in the conveyance direction.

3. The scanner according to claim 1 , wherein
an address is detected from one of the first file which contains the first reading images and the second file which contains the second reading images and the other one of the first file and the second file is sent to the address.

4. The scanner according to claim 1 , wherein
if a marker indicating the forbiddance of a processing is detected from one of the first file which contains the first reading images and the second file which contains the second reading images, the processing on the other one of the first file and the second file is forbidden.

5. The scanner according to claim 1 , wherein
a client terminal includes a web server function for supplying a webpage on which setting of the first processing and setting of the second processing are received.

6. The scanner according to claim 1 , wherein
the scanner comprises an image forming section configured to form an image on a sheet; and
one of the first reading images of the first file and the second reading images of the second file are formed on the sheet with the image forming section.

7. A reading processing by a scanner which comprises a first reading section configured to read a first surface of a sheet and a second reading section configured to read a second surface opposite to the first surface of the sheet, including:
reading the first surface and the second surface of each sheet among a plurality of sheets continuously with the first reading section and the second reading section;
creating a first file which contains the first reading image of each sheet and does not contain the second reading image of each sheet and the second file which contains the second reading image of each sheet and does not contain the first reading image of each sheet;
independently receiving a setting of a first processing on a first reading image of the first surface of each sheet among the plurality of sheets and a setting of a second processing on a second reading image of the second surface of each sheet among the plurality of sheets; and
executing the first processing on the first reading image and executing the second processing on the second reading image.

8. The reading processing according to claim 7 , wherein
a space between the first reading section and the second reading section in a conveyance direction of a sheet is shorter than a length of the sheet in the conveyance direction.
