Abstract

Abstract Disclosed herein is an image information reading system comprising a plurality of preset apparatuses each having a first scan mechanism for reading image information carried by an original while scanning the same, and a processing condition setting-up device for setting up scanning conditions of the read image information and image processing conditions used to process the read image information, and at least one main scan apparatus having a second scan mechanism for reading image information recorded on an original while scanning the same, and an image information processing device for processing the image information read by the second scan mechanism on the basis of the scanning conditions and the image processing conditions determined by any one of the preset apparatuses.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim 114 words
An image information reading system comprising: a plurality of preset apparatuses each having a first scan mechanism for reading image information carried by an original while scanning the same, and processing condition setting-up means for setting up scanning conditions of said read image information and image processing conditions used to process said read image information; and at least one main scan apparatus having a second scan mechanism for reading image information recorded on an original while scanning the same, and image information processing means for processing said image information read by said second scan mechanism on the basis of said scanning conditions and said image processing conditions determined by one of said preset apparatuses.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 20 words
An image information reading system according to Claim 1, wherein said preset apparatuses exceed in number said main scan apparatus.
Claim 3
Independent Claim 132 words
A method of reading image information, comprising the following steps: a first step of performing a pre-scan operation for reading an original storing image information at a coarse pitch by a pre-scan device; a second step of setting scanning conditions and image information processing conditions to said read image information with a set-up device; a third step of specifying an original cassette storing a desired original by original cassette specifying means disposed in an original cassette feeding device; a fourth step of reading set-up information of said original held in said specified original cassette from said set-up device; and a fifth step of carrying out a main scan operation for reading an original at a fine pitch by a main scan apparatus based on said scanning conditions included in said set-up information.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 38 words
A method according to Claim 3, wherein said first and second steps are carried out by a preset apparatus comprising said pre-scan device and said set-up device, and said fifth step is performed by said main scan apparatus.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 40 words
A method according to Claim 3, wherein a cassette detector of said main scan apparatus includes a step for reading information used to specify a desired original cassette, said information being applied to each of original cassettes which are fed.
