An image scanning device includes a placement-area image data capturing unit that captures placement-area image data corresponding to an area where documents are placed on a platen, a document image data capturing unit that captures pieces of document image data, each of which corresponds to one of the documents, and acquires positions of the pieces of document image data, in accordance with the placement-area image data captured by the placement-area image data capturing unit, a placement order acquiring unit that acquires an order in which the documents, each of which corresponds to one of the pieces of document image data, have been placed in accordance with at least the positions of the pieces of document image data, each of which corresponds to one of the documents, and a sequencing unit that assigns to the pieces of document image data the order acquired by the placement order acquiring unit.

An image processing apparatus includes a painting section and an extraction section. The painting section performs painting on a margin at an end part of an image. The extraction section extracts a document included in the image on which the painting is performed by the painting section.

An image reading apparatus includes a platen on which an original is to be placed, a scanner unit configured to emit light to the original placed on the platen and receive light reflected from the original, to thereby read an image of the original, and at least one processor configured to control the scanner unit to generate an image signal representing the image based on a result of reading the image of the original by the scanner unit, wherein, in a case in which a plurality of originals are placed on the platen, the at least one processor is configured to control the scanner unit to emit the light with a first light amount in a case where the plurality of originals are originals having a first type, and emit the light with a second light amount.

A printer (300) is disclosed. The printer has two scanners (336, 338) in the paper path of the printer located after the print zone (346). The two scanners are spaced apart from each other by a known distance A and overlap each other in a direction perpendicular to the media axis of travel. The two scanners capture a first and second image of the media.

An image scanning device includes a platen, an image scanning unit that scans at a single time documents placed on the platen and generates pieces of image data, and an image data processing unit that performs processing of the pieces of image data. When the image scanning unit generates pieces of first image data by scanning first surfaces of the documents, each of which is placed in one of predetermined areas on the platen, and generates pieces of second image data by scanning surfaces opposite to the first surfaces of the documents, each of which is turned over and placed again in the one of the predetermined areas, the image data processing unit associates one of the pieces of the first image data with a corresponding one of the pieces of the second image data for each of the predetermined areas, as image data of the front and back surfaces.

The image reading apparatus includes: an image reading unit which reads card-like document sheets; a card-image recognition part which recognizes card images corresponding to the document sheets; a circular-area setting part which sets circular areas each containing a card image; a positional-information setting part which sets positional information as to the circular areas; a deviational-angle computation part which determines deviational angles of the card images; a corrected-data acquisition part which acquires corrected image data by turning the circular areas; and an array processing part which generates arrayed image data in which the card images corrected in terms of deviational inclination are disposed in array.

An image reading device includes a placement section, a reader, an authentication control section, and a reading control section. A document and an identification medium are placed on the placement section. The reader reads the document and the identification medium and generates image data. The authentication control section performs authentication of a user based on image data of the identification medium and generates authentication information that indicates a result of authentication of the user. The reading control section controls the reader. The reading control section controls the reader to read the document after generating the image data of the identification medium. The authentication control section starts authentication of the user after the image data of the identification medium is generated.

An image scanning device includes a placement-area image data capturing unit that captures placement-area image data corresponding to an area where documents are placed on a platen, a document image data capturing unit that captures pieces of document image data, each of which corresponds to one of the documents, and acquires positions of the pieces of document image data, in accordance with the placement-area image data captured by the placement-area image data capturing unit, a placement order acquiring unit that acquires an order in which the documents, each of which corresponds to one of the pieces of document image data, have been placed in accordance with at least the positions of the pieces of document image data, each of which corresponds to one of the documents, and a sequencing unit that assigns to the pieces of document image data the order acquired by the placement order acquiring unit.

An image processing apparatus includes an image data acquiring section configured to acquire image data of an image; a partial image acquiring section configured to acquire a plurality of partial images from each of a plurality of areas contained within the image on a basis of the image data acquired by the image data acquiring section; and a layout determination section configured to determine a layout by arranging a plurality of the partial images acquired by the partial image acquiring section.

An image reading system includes a control section, wherein when a document region among the image data is included in the first region, a control section applies a first output setting associated with the first region to the document region and executes output for the document region, and when a document region is included in the second region, the control section applies a second output setting associated with the second region to the document region and executes output for the document region.
