Image reading apparatus for displaying states of medium conveyed and image reading system having the image reading apparatus

摘要

An image reading apparatus includes an operating unit that issues a starting instruction to start reading a medium which is a read-target medium, according to a user's operation, a conveying unit that conveys the medium, a display unit that displays states of the medium conveyed, a reading unit that reads the medium, and a medium detecting unit that detects the medium. The display unit displays contents indicating that the reading operation is possible when the reading operation of the medium is completed and the medium detecting unit does not detect the medium. The conveying unit starts conveyance of the medium in response to the read-operation starting instruction, when the read-target medium is a first medium in a set of media, and when the medium detecting unit detects the first medium, and the conveying unit starts conveyance of the medium, when the read-target medium is a second or later medium in the set of media, after the medium detecting unit detects the second or later medium.

主权项

1. An image reading apparatus comprising:
an operating unit configured to issue a read-operation starting instruction for starting a reading operation on a read-target medium, according to a user's operation; a conveying unit that conveys the read-target medium; a display unit that displays states of the read-target medium conveyed; a reading unit configured to read the read-target medium; a control unit that controls the conveying unit and the reading unit; and a medium detecting unit that detects the read-target medium, wherein the display unit is configured to display contents indicating that the reading operation is possible when the reading operation of the read-target medium is completed after the read-target medium has passed through the reading unit being conveyed by the conveying unit and the medium detecting unit does not detect the read-target medium, the conveying unit is configured to start conveyance of the read-target medium in response to the read-operation starting instruction issued by the operating unit, when the read-target medium is a first medium in a set of media, and when the medium detecting unit detects the first medium, the conveying unit is further configured to start conveyance of the read-target medium, when the read-target medium is a second or later medium in the set of media, after the medium detecting unit detects the second or later medium, and the control unit performs a read completion operation after the read-target medium is discharged, when an instruction to end the reading operation is issued by the user after the read-target medium passes through the reading unit and before the read-target medium is discharged.
