  • Patent number: 10484557
    Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes an acquisition unit, an identification unit, and a generation unit. The acquisition unit acquires image data generated by reading an image on an original. The identification unit identifies a predetermined size of an original, the predetermined size being different from a size of the original. The generation unit adds image data of a different image to the acquired image data, without changing a size of the image in the acquired image data, to generate image data corresponding to the predetermined size of the original.

  • Publication number: 20170272605
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus for transmitting image data input by sequentially reading documents, with limiting an allowable frame size, includes: a transmission controller, wherein, in a case where the document has an irregular size, the transmission controller transmits the image data to a transmission destination in a preset frame of a first frame size until a rear edge of the document is detected, and if a portion, which is not transmitted, of the image data exists when the rear edge of the document is detected, transmits the portion to the transmission destination in a frame of a second frame size smaller than the first frame size so that the transmitting of the portion is finished before a start of transmission of image data corresponding to a next document.
