摘要

An image generation apparatus includes an additional image information generation section and a superposition information generation section. The additional image information generation section generates additional image information in which control information, which controls operation of a machine for reading information recorded on a recording medium, is placed as second image information in partitions formed by two-dimensionally placing position information, which are unique to positions on the recording medium or unique to recording positions of a document image recorded on the recording medium as first image information. The superposition information generation section converts acquired document information into third image information and superposes the third image information and the additional image information generated by the additional image information generation section to generate superposition information.
