A system is provided for processing documents. In particular, the system incorporates a feeder for feeding documents to a device for further processing of the documents. For instance, the system finds particular application in the field of document imaging in which a variety of documents of varying sizes and orientation are to be fed to an imaging system, such as a document scanner. The system may provide a sorting station that receives documents from a work station and sorts the documents to a plurality of sort locations. The system may export the image data for the documents to a fileserver so that a remote operator can provide instructions for the processing of the documents so that the documents can be subsequently processed according to the instructions provided by the operator.

In an image processing apparatus, a protection-target document sheet determining portion determines whether or not a protection-target image is included in a read image that is obtained by an image reading device, the protection-target image satisfying a predetermined protection condition. An operation detection sensor detects a removal operation of removing the document sheet from the document sheet support portion. An image output device executes a read image output process that includes printing the read image or outputting data of the read image to outside. A control device, in a case where it has been determined that a protection-target image is included in the read image, causes the image output device to execute the read image output process only after the removal operation is detected after the image is read from the document sheet.

An image processing apparatus comprises: a division unit that divides input data on a predetermined basis; a generation unit that generates, from the input data divided by the division unit, intermediate data on the predetermined basis; an updating unit that updates the intermediate data by converting rendering contents of the intermediate data generated by the generation unit into image data; a transfer unit that transfers, each time the generation unit generates the intermediate data, the generated intermediate data to a raster image processing unit; and a determination unit that determines, before the transfer unit transfers first intermediate data generated from the input data, whether to perform updating for each intermediate data corresponding to the input data by the updating unit based on a rendering command of the input data or the first intermediate data.

In an example, a print system include a component device that is operation in a number of state, a density engine, and a component engine. An example density engine identifies a plane region of a plane where print fluid is to be printed based on data of a print job and determines a density classifier for the plane based on a location of the plane region on the plane. An example component engine causes an adjustment of a component attribute of the component device based on the density classifier.

Disclosed is an image acquiring method. The image acquiring method includes receiving an instruction to acquire a one-side image to acquire an image on a first side of a document; obtaining a penetrated image of the first side of the document, which is seen on the second side, with a second image sensor for obtaining an image on a second side of the document, while the document is being fed; obtaining an image on the first side of the document with a first image sensor for obtaining an image on the first side of the document, while the document is being fed; and processing the image on the first side based on the penetrated image of the first side.

A method and system for obtaining an image of object, for example an optical section of a sample, are disclosed. The image includes a plurality of scan lines to be acquired. The method includes, for a current one of the scan lines to be acquired, a step of determining positions of one or more predicted regions of interest along the current scan line based on at least one previously acquired predictive scan line. The method also includes a step of acquiring the current scan line along a scan path in accordance with a variable scan speed profile including at least one slower speed component along segments of the scan path corresponding to the positions of the one or more predicted regions of interest and at least one faster speed component elsewhere along the scan path.
