<p>Upon executing auto color select (ACS) generally, since a prescan for ACS must be done before a main scan for capturing actual image data, a long processing time is required, resulting in low productivity. <??>In this invention, an ACS task is executed while the scanner is making an image capture scan. If the ACS task determines that the captured original is a color original, the ACS task informs the printer of that information, and then normally terminates itself. After the end of scan, if it is not determined that the original is a color original, information indicating that the original is a monochrome original is sent to the printer. Hence, appropriate ACS can be done without any prescan. <IMAGE></p> |
