Image processing apparatus creating image data with same direction

摘要

An image processing apparatus includes a document feeding unit, a document reading unit, a first set-document direction accepting key, an automatic determination mode setting accepting key, a set-document direction determining unit, and an image processor. The set-document direction determining unit is configured to determine, on a per-page basis, a set-document direction of documents set on the document feeding unit, based on original image data read by the document reading unit. The image processor is configured to perform a rotation process on original image data read by the document reading unit, based on the determination result by the set-document direction determining unit, and to perform a rotation process based on the first set-document direction accepted by the first set-document direction accepting key for a page for which the determination by the set document direction determining unit fails.

1. An image processing apparatus, comprising:
a document feeding unit configured to sequentially convey documents set on the document feeding unit; a document reading unit configured to read a document image of a document conveyed by the document feeding unit; a first set-document direction accepting key configured to accept a first set-document direction setting for a document set on the document feeding unit; a set-document direction determining unit configured to automatically determine, on a per-page basis, a set-document direction of documents set on the document feeding unit, based on original image data read by the document reading unit; an automatic determination mode setting accepting key configured to accept a setting as to whether the set-document direction determining unit attempts automatic determination of set-document direction; and an image processor configured to perform a rotation process on original image data read by the document reading unit; wherein the accepting, by the automatic determination mode setting accepting key, of the setting for the set-document direction determining unit to attempt automatic determination of set-document direction can be simultaneous with the accepting, by the first set-document direction accepting key, of the first set-document direction setting; and the image processor is configured to, if the setting to attempt automatic determination of set-document direction has been accepted by the first set-document direction accepting key:
for a page for which the set-document direction determining unit succeeds in making the automatic determination of set-document direction, perform a rotation process on the original image data read by the document reading unit, based on the determination result by the set-document direction determining unit, even with the first set-document direction setting accepted by the first set-document direction accepting key, andfor a page for which the set-document direction determining unit is unable to make the automatic determination of set-document direction, perform the rotation process based on the first set-document direction setting accepted by the first set-document direction accepting key.
