An image processing apparatus includes a selecting unit that selects multiple applications from multiple applications that perform first processing of reading an image in a form corresponding to setting values that are set beforehand and that have to be set to execute each application, and perform second processing with regard to the read image, an executing unit that executes the selected multiple applications, and a controller that controls the executing unit to execute the first processing and the second processing by one application alone, and to not execute the first processing but to execute the second processing by another application with regard to the image read by the one application.

A system for document capture comprising a communication interface, a processor coupled to the communications interface, and a computer readable medium coupled to the processor. The computer readable medium stores a set of computer executable instructions that include instructions executable by the processor to receive an input capture flow comprising a first sequence of steps representing configurable code components of a document capture system. A step in the first sequence of steps holds configuration information for a corresponding configurable code component. The instructions further include instructions executable to compile the input capture flow into a capture process that defines a processing order for the configurable code components and setup attribute values for the configurable code components. Compiling the input capture flow into the capture process comprises optimizing the capture flow into a second sequence of steps and compiling the second sequence of steps into the capture process.

The present invention relates to method and system for providing series of serialized unique information on a substrate together with product related information. The method comprising: providing the series of serialized unique information from a batch of serialized unique information, using a printer device (30) able of printing from a digital-based image directly on the substrate in a first instance; storing information about the serialized unique information to a data storage device (20); printing the product related information on the substrate; and analysing the printed serialized unique information and product related information on the substrate.

An image reading apparatus compares a difference in luminance value between a pixel of interest in image information acquired via a reading unit and a pixel separated from the pixel of interest by a first distance with a first threshold value. Further, the image reading apparatus compares a difference in luminance value between the pixel of interest and a pixel present within a range to a pixel separated from the pixel of interest by a second distance that is larger than the first distance with a second threshold value. The image reading apparatus determines whether or not the pixel of interest is an edge pixel at an original end portion based on results of those comparisons, and determines an original size based on a result of the determination.

An inkjet recording apparatus includes a recording head, an ink tank, a supply flow path, a supply pump located in the supply flow path, a collection flow path, a relief flow path connecting a first position in the supply flow path to a second position in the supply flow path, wherein the first position is located at a downstream side of the supply pump in the supply flow path and the second position located at an upstream side of the supply pump in the supply flow path, and a differential pressure regulating valve located in the relief flow path and configured to, in a case where the pressure of the pumped ink in the supply flow path is larger than a predetermined value, open the relief flow path so as to allow ink in the supply flow path to flow from the first position to the second position.

An image reading device includes a first image reading portion, a cooling portion, a second image reading portion, and a notification processing portion. The first image reading portion reads an image of a document sheet at a first reading position. The cooling portion cools the document sheet at a cooling position downstream in a feeding direction of the document sheet with respect to the first reading position. The second image reading portion reads an image of the document sheet at a second reading position downstream in the feeding direction with respect to the cooling position. In a case where a difference image different from a first image read by the first image reading portion, the difference image being included in a second image read by the second image reading portion has been detected, the notification processing portion provides a notification that the difference image has been detected.

An image reading apparatus includes a reading unit, a cable, a connector portion, a casing, and a cover member. The reading unit reads an image of a document. The cable is connected to the reading unit, and transmits an image signal output from reading unit. The connector portion is disposed in the reading unit, and is connected to the cable. The casing accommodates the reading unit and has an opening portion through which the connector portion is exposed to outside of the casing. The cover member is attached to and detached from the casing and covers the opening portion in a state where the cable is connected to the connector portion via the opening portion.
