Then an image of a document is read (step 102). Thereafter, rendering processing is performed for the image data acquired through processing of the step 102 (step 103). Then, the image data subjected to the rendering processing is analyzed per output unit (one page), and whether each page is monochrome or color is determined (step 104). Thereafter, on the basis of the information acquired in the step 101, and the results of determination executed in the step 104, a fee in the case of charging the user is calculated. |
