  • Patent number: 9781279
    Abstract: A non-transitory computer readable medium stores a program causing a computer to execute a process for image processing. The process includes performing preview display processing on a piece of content of document-image information generated by optically scanning a document by using one reading setting, the preview display processing being performed by using multiple transmission settings that are different from the one reading setting; and generating new image information in a case where one of pieces of content of the document-image information each of which results from the preview display processing performed by using a corresponding one of the multiple transmission settings is selected, the new image information being generated from the document-image information by using one of the transmission settings that corresponds to the selected piece of content.
