Abstract: A system includes a receiving unit and a controller. The receiving unit receives data about the number of processes performed in an image forming unit to form an image with a decolorable color material and data about the number of processes performed in a decolorizing unit to decolorize an image formed with the decolorable color material. Based on the data received by the receiving unit the controller calculates the number of media in user's use in a condition after they are subjected to image formation by the image forming unit and before they are decolorized by the decolorizing unit. The controller deters image formation by the image forming unit if the number of the media in user's use exceeds a first threshold, and allows the image forming unit to form an image if the number of the media in user's use does not exceed the first threshold.

Abstract translation: 系统包括接收单元和控制器。 接收单元接收关于在图像形成单元中执行的处理次数的数据，以形成具有可消除色材料的图像和关于在脱色单元中执行的处理次数的数据，以使由不可抹除色材料形成的图像脱色。 基于由接收单元接收到的数据，控制器在图像形成单元进行图像形成之后并且在由脱色单元进行脱色之前，计算用户使用中的介质的数量。 如果用户使用的媒体数量超过第一阈值，则控制器阻止图像形成单元的图像形成，并且如果用户使用的媒体数量不超过第一阈值，则允许图像形成单元形成图像。

Abstract: Plural line sensors are arranged parallel to each other in a predetermined order and with a predetermined interval, and they read different lines on a manuscript respectively. A delay module outputs an image signal output from at least one of the plural line sensors with a delay for a number of lines according to a number of pixels which corresponds to shifts of reading positions of the plural line sensors. An ahead-reading signal acquiring module outputs the image signal acquired from at least one line sensor other than a last stage line sensor of the plural line sensors as an ahead-reading signal. The image processing device outputs the image signal wherein the shifts of the reading positions of the plural line sensors are corrected by the delay module, and outputs the ahead-reading signal acquired by the ahead-reading signal acquiring module.
