Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
180 words
An image information processing apparatus comprising: first support means for supporting an original; second support means for supporting an original for reserved transmission, said second support means being different from said first support means; processing means for reading and processing the image information of the original supported by said first or second support means; instruction means for instructing a start of reading and processing operation of said processing means; timer means adapted to set a reservation time; and feed control means for controlling the feeding of the original from said first or second support means in such a manner that the image information of the original supported by said first support means is read and processed by said processing means in response to an instruction signal from said instruction means, and that the image information of the original supported by said second support means is read and processed by said processing means in response to a time signal from said timer means, which signal indicates that said timer has reached the reservation time set by means of said timer means.
