An image processing apparatus includes a document reading section, a reading controller, an image transfer section, and a transfer controller. The document reading section reads documents. The reading controller controls the document reading section so as to read document images subsequent to a first sheet independently of a command from a host apparatus. The image transfer section transfers the document images which are read by the document reading section. The transfer controller controls the image transfer section based on the number of pages of the documents, which are read by the document reading section, and the number of pages of the document images, which are transferred by the image transfer section, in a case where the document images are transferred by the image transfer section whenever the document reading section reads one sheet of document.

A transmission circuit includes a first semiconductor device, a second semiconductor device, a first signal line, a second signal line, a third signal line, and a ground line. A differential signal is composed of a first signal and a second signal. The first signal line is configured to connect the first semiconductor device and the second semiconductor device and used to transmit the first signal. The second signal line is configured to connect the first semiconductor device and the second semiconductor device and used to transmit the second signal. The second signal line, the first signal line, the ground line, and the third signal line are disposed in this order. A distance between the first signal line and the ground line is larger than a distance between the first signal line and the second signal line.

An information processing system includes a first information processing apparatus of a data migration source (first apparatus), a second information processing apparatus of a data migration destination (second apparatus), a server communicable with the first and second apparatuses via a network and a user terminal communicable with the first and second apparatuses by short range wireless communication and communicable with the server via the network.

In a multifunction peripheral, image data generated by a scanner section is transferred to an image processor via a data bus. If it is determined that an image processing and another image processing are not executed in parallel, the transfer rate of image data is set to a first transfer rate, whereas if it is determined that the image processing and the other image processing are executed in parallel, one of a plurality of different transfer rates lower than the first transfer rate is selected based on a result of determination of whether or not settings associated with the image processing are predetermined settings and a result of determination of whether or not settings associated with the other image processing are other predetermined settings, and the transfer rate of image data is set to the selected one.

Provided is an image reading apparatus including: an image reading unit configured to output image data representing an image read from an original; and an image control board configured to acquire the image data by controlling an operation of the image reading unit. When a shading error occurs, the image control board determines a part that has caused the shading error by determining whether or not a power supply voltage is being normally supplied to the image reading unit, determining whether or not a light source is normally emitting light, determining whether or not a memory is normally operating, and determining whether or not data output from the image reading unit is normally stored in the memory.

An image reading apparatus includes a housing; a transparent plate that is provided in an opening formed in an upper part of the housing and on which an original is placed; an image reading unit that is disposed inside the housing and that scans in a main scanning direction while moving in a sub-scanning direction to read an image of the original placed on the transparent plate; a flexible flat cable having one end that is connected to a control board on which an electronic component that is configured to process the image read by the image reading unit is mounted and the other end that is connected to the image reading unit, the flexible flat cable being configured to electrically connect the image reading unit and the control board, the flexible flat cable being disposed such that a width direction of the flexible flat cable crosses a surface of the transparent plate, the flexible flat cable being partially fixed to a side wall of the housing facing the image reading unit in the main scanning direction; and a holding portion configured to hold a part of the flexible flat cable, the holding portion holding the part between a part fixed to the side wall and the other end, of the flexible flat cable, the holding portion being formed on an end face of the image reading unit in the sub-scanning direction, wherein the holding portion holds the flexible flat cable such that a distance in the main scanning direction between a position at which the holding portion holds a lower end of the flexible flat cable in the width direction and the side wall is longer than a distance in the main scanning direction between a position at which the holding portion holds an upper end of the flexible flat cable in the width direction and the side wall.
