    摘要: An image reading apparatus includes a document reading device, an operation device, and a control device. The document reading device collectively reads a plurality of documents loaded on a document loading surface to generate image data. The control device functions as an individual image cutter, an operation receiver, and a generator. The individual image cutter cuts, from the image data generated by the document reading device, individual images independent for the respective documents. The operation receiver receives, via the operation device, a first instruction indicating a number of documents collected in one image. The generator generates document image data which is corresponding to an image of a size formable on a single recording medium and which has a collection of pieces of individual image data indicating the individual images, in unit of the number indicated by the first instruction.

    摘要: An image reading apparatus includes a conveying unit to convey a document, first and second reading units, a reception unit, a selection unit, and a setting unit. The first reading unit generates image data form a document first side and the second reading unit generates image data from a second side in parallel with the first reading unit reading. The reception unit receives settings regarding a size, an orientation, and a document opening direction of the document. The selection unit selects either a first reading method causing the first and second reading units to read per the set size, and a second reading method causing the first reading unit to read the first side per the set size and causing the second reading unit to read an entire second side. The setting unit sets image data corresponding to the document second side reading by the second reading method.

    摘要: An alignment sheet for alignment of an image forming position of a sheet includes a first side and a second side. The first side has a reference image which is formed in a periphery of the first side and which is used for measuring a position of an image on the first side. The second side has a background image with a predetermined area which is formed at a location where the background image does not overlap the reference image. The reference image and the background image are read at the same time by an image reading section while an area with the reference image is folded such that the background image appears as a background.

    摘要: 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.
