A multi-function printer includes a printer body and a scanner body. A printer module is disposed in the printer body. At least one first scanning module, at least one feeding roller and a sensor are disposed in the scanner body. The feeding roller and the sensor are disposed at an inlet of a sheet passage. When the sensor senses presence of a sheet medium, the first scanning module immediately performs image scanning on the sheet medium to obtain image data, and then the printer module prints out the image data.

A reading device includes a base on which a read target object is placed, a reader that reads the read target object placed on the base, a first attachment frame to which the reader is attached such that the reader is disposed above the base, an operation unit that is to be operated by a user, a second attachment frame to which a rear surface of the operation unit is attached such that the operation unit is disposed in front of the first attachment frame in a direction toward a front surface of the reading device, and a first cover that covers the second attachment frame. The first cover includes left and right rear cover components that are separately arranged at left and right sides of the first attachment frame serving as a dividing line at the rear surface of the operation unit and that cover at least a portion of the second attachment frame.

An image forming apparatus includes a communication interface, a display, and a controller configured to, when the image forming apparatus is remotely connected with an information processing device via the communication interface, transmit, to the information processing device, screen data for causing the information processing device to display a same screen as a display screen being displayed on the display, when receiving remote access from the information processing device, perform display processing for the display screen in accordance with the remote access, and when the remote access is received while a particular screen is being displayed as the display screen on the display, impose a display restriction on the display screen.

Provided is a technique for allowing a user to easily check the status of an image scanning apparatus. An image scanning apparatus is configured to transmit original document image data by storing, sequentially in a buffer, line data obtained by line-by-line scanning of an original document and transmitting the stored line data to a host computer sequentially line by line, and includes a control unit configured to perform control to transmit original document image data including notification image data to the host computer in a case where it is detected that the apparatus status of the image scanning apparatus is not normal during processing executed in response to a scan command received from the host computer, the notification image data being a notification of an error occurrence.

According to one embodiment, an image reading apparatus includes a light emitting unit, a first carriage, a first photoelectric conversion unit, a first lens, and a second carriage. The light emitting unit irradiates a reading object with light. The first carriage includes a first optical member for guiding reflected light from the reading object. The first carriage is movable in a sub-scanning direction along the reading object. The first photoelectric conversion unit receives the reflected light from the reading object guided through the first optical member and outputs an image signal. The first lens is disposed on an optical path of the reflected light between the first optical member and the first photoelectric conversion unit, and images the reflected light from the reading object on the first photoelectric conversion unit. The second carriage is movable in a main scanning direction orthogonal to the sub-scanning direction along the reading object with respect to the first carriage. The second carriage includes a second optical member for guiding the reflected light from the reading object, a second photoelectric conversion unit that receives the reflected light from the reading object guided through the second optical member to output an image signal, and a second lens that is disposed on an optical path of the reflected light between the second optical member and the second photoelectric conversion unit and images the reflected light from the reading object on the second photoelectric conversion unit at a magnification different from the first lens.

An image forming apparatus which can prevent from automatically deleting, without user's intention, a box document restored from another image forming apparatus. A document storage deadline is set with respect to a folder thereof for storing box documents so as to set, as a target to be deleted from the folder, a box document having been stored in the folder over the document storage deadline. When it is determined that one of the box documents stored in the folder is a restored document, the one of the box documents is controlled to be excluded from the target.

An information system includes a multifunction apparatus and a first server which are linked to each other over a network. The multifunction apparatus includes a reading section, an information obtaining section, a first transmitter, and a memory. The reading section reads the image of an original document. The information obtaining section obtains a destination information from the first server, the destination information indicating a destination to which the image is transmitted. The first transmitter transmits the image to the destination. The first server includes a memory and a second transmitter. The memory stores the destination information therein. The second transmitter transmits the destination information in the memory to the multifunction apparatus.

An image processing apparatus according to an embodiment includes a display unit that displays a destination selection screen and a destination registration screen. A detection unit detects a selection with respect to the destination selection screen indicating a selected destination from a plurality of selectable destinations. An interface connects an external input device to the image processing apparatus, and receives an input from the external input device. The destination registration screen is updated to display one or more selected destinations. In response to the input being received from the external input device, the display unit changes the first region of the operation screen from the destination selection screen to an input screen in which destination information input using the external input device is displayed. In response to a detected transmission input, an image is transmitted to each destination displayed in the destination registration region.
