PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enhance an encoding speed upon scanning a size-unknown draft in a wide MFP machine. SOLUTION: A reading unit 1 reads a size-unknown draft. Image data is encoded by the number of temporary lines to be stored in a memory (MEM) 14 (path [1]) by an image encoding module 7. At the end of draft reading, the number of fixed lines is read by a process controller 22 (path [2]). The number of fixed lines is transmitted from the process controller 22 to a system controller (CPU) 12 (path [3]). The system controller 12 replaces the number of temporary lines with the number of fixed lines (path [4]). The encoded data is accumulated in a hard disk (HDD) 13 (path [5]). Encoding can be performed concurrently with image reading, and a required memory capacity can be reduced, so that reading productivity is improved. COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT
