1. A multi-function apparatus comprising automatic document feeder (ADF), an ADF detector to detect whether one or more sheets have been placed in the automatic document feeder, auto-scan provisions to scan an automatically fed document input through the automatic document feeder, a glass platen, manual scan provisions to scan a manually supplied document placed on the glass platen, a processor and a non-transitory medium embodying a program of instructions executable by the processor to configure said multi-function apparatus to additionally comprise:
an output assembly part to assemble an output document, based on job output settings; and a scan job build interface for controlling a mixed mode scan job build, the scan job build interface including
a job start part to specify a start of the mixed mode scan job build to trigger a mixed mode job, wherein upon the start of the mixed mode scan job build having been specified, in a case that the ADF detector detects that the one or more sheets are in the ADF, the scan job build interface causes the auto-scan provisions to operate and scan the sheets in the ADF and causes images output by the auto-scan provisions to be included as a beginning of the mixed mode job, and in a case that the ADF detector does not detect any sheets being in the ADF, the scan job build interface causes the manual scan provisions to scan a sheet placed on the glass platen and causes an image output by the manual scan provisions to be included as the beginning of the mixed mode job,an additional scan interface to request, through a user interface, that an additional sheet be placed in the automatic document feeder or on the glass platen, wherein the additional scan interface includes
(a) a scan more part to specify an instruction to continue the mixed mode scan job build, scan the additional sheet, and cause an image output from the scanning of the additional sheet to be inserted into a position that is before or after previously scanned sheets according to specifications by a user of the user interface, and(b) an end build part to specify an end of the mixed mode scan job build and that no additional sheets are to be scanned for the mixed mode scan job build, wherein when the end of the mixed mode scan job build is specified by the end build part, the scan job build interface causes the output assembly part to assemble the output document for the mixed mode job, wherein the output document based on the mixed mode job includes at least one image output by the auto-scan provisions and an image output by the manual scan provisions, and wherein the mixed mode job formed in the mixed mode scan job build controlled through the scan job build interface includes one or more images of one page orientation and additional images of a different page orientation. |
