An information processing apparatus includes a setting reception section and a posture acquisition section. The information processing apparatus outputs a scan setting to an image reading apparatus including a main body having a plurality of postures. The main body reads a document according to the scan setting. The setting reception section is configured to display a setting item included in the scan setting on a display portion and receive a change in a setting content shown in the setting item. The posture acquisition section acquires posture information indicating the posture of the main body from the image reading apparatus. The setting reception section switches the setting item displayed on the display portion to the setting content according to the posture when the posture indicated by the posture information is switched.

A processing apparatus includes a mount on which an object is placed and a support member that is provided on an upper surface of the mount and that supports a supported unit that provides at least one of an operation and a display regarding a process, the support member including a protruding portion that protrudes outward at a lower end of the support member and having a rod shape formed by joining plural members adjacent to each other in a direction along the upper surface, the protruding portion being embedded below the upper surface.

An image reading apparatus includes a stacking tray, a feeding roller, a restricting member configured to move to a restricting position and a retracted position, a reading sensor, a reversing roller configured to perform a reversing operation, a first conveyance path, a second conveyance, and a controller. The controller is configured to permit the reversing operation if the controller receives an execution instruction of a double-sided reading job on a sheet having a first size, and prohibit the reversing operation if the controller receives an execution instruction of the double-sided reading job on a sheet having a second size smaller than the first size.

A conveying path for a document (D) includes a first conveying path (R1) that turns back midway, and a second conveying path (R2) that does not turn back midway. When the first conveying path (R1) is used, a first side is read and the document (D) is discharged with the first side facing downward. When the second conveying path (R2) is used, a second side is read and the document (D) is discharged with the second side facing downward. When the second conveying path (R2) is used, a warning message (MS1) is displayed.

A conveyance path for a document (D) has a first conveyance path (R1) that turns back midway and a second conveyance path (R2) that extends rectilinearly. When the document (D) is of a particular type, if a setting to use the first conveyance path (R1) has been made, a control section (4) has a warning message (MS1) displayed.

An image reading system including a blank paper removal function includes a preview display processing unit configured to preview-display at least a portion of an image among images of a read document in a selectable state on a display unit, a display switching unit configured to switch a display mode of an image to a selected state in which a blank paper removal candidate or a non-removal candidate is selected when the image is selected by an operation of an input unit, a data generation unit, and a blank paper removal level setting unit. The data generation unit generates reading data based on remaining image data obtained by removing image data of a blank paper removal target including the confirmed blank paper removal candidate from image data of the document when the selected state is confirmed by an operation of an input unit.

A personal computer 1 includes a first communication interface mechanism 16 that communicates with a first scanner 2A, and a first memory 13 that stores first reading setting information 131A in a first folder 131. The first scanner 2A includes a reception unit 221 that receives instruction data CM instructing reading of an image for which the first folder 131 is specified as the storage destination for read data, an acquisition unit 222 that, when the reception unit 221 receives the instruction data CM, accesses to the first folder 131 of the personal computer 1 and acquires the first reading setting information 131A from the first folder 131, a setting unit 223 that sets a reading condition based on the first reading setting information 131A, and a reading unit 224 that reads out an image and generates read data under the reading condition.

Copy and scan printing may include scanning, by scanner disposed along a paper path between a paper delivery roller and a paper pickup roller, content of documents (302). Further, copy and scan printing may include determining whether the documents are to be copied (304), in response to a determination that the documents are to be copied, determining whether a page count of the documents to be copied is available (306), and generating copies of the documents (310).

A duplex scan indicative scanner includes a sheet passage, a transporting mechanism, one single scanning module, a duplex indicator and a connection interface. The transporting mechanism transports a document past the sheet passage. The scanning module scans a first side of the document passing through the sheet passage. The connection interface is electrically connected to an electronic device, the duplex indicator, the transporting mechanism and the scanning module. After the electronic device has controlled, through the connection interface, the scanning module to scan the first side, the electronic device controls, through the connection interface, the duplex indicator to output a duplex indication message to guide a user to place the document or a second document, so that a second side of the document or the second document is scanned by the scanning module. A duplex scan indicative scanning apparatus and a duplex scan indicative scanning method are also provided.

Provided is a system configured to read an original document and submit the generated image data to the education management system, easily. A method of controlling an image processing apparatus includes reading an original document, specifying an assignment, receiving, from a first server, storage location information indicating a storage location in a second server corresponding to the specified assignment, transmitting image data generated by reading of the original document to the storage location indicated based on the received storage location information, and notifying the first server of identification information for identifying the image data.
