PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To automatically detect plural documents and to output images onto sheets of paper in different modes such as for alignment of inclination when the plural documents are placed on a document table. SOLUTION: When read image data D1 are data of plural documents OR1, OR2, etc., which are placed on a document table 9 and are read at the same time, the document edges E1, E2, etc., of document image data d1, d2, etc., in the read image data D1 are detected by a document edge detecting section 5 according to difference in density. The plural document image data d1, d2, etc., are cut down by a plural document detecting section 6 according to the detected document edges E1, E2, etc., and, after processing such as individual alignment of inclination by a plural document processing section 7, images are output onto sheets 10 of paper by an image output device 3. |
