  • IMAGE READING DEVICE AND METHOD FOR DETERMINING ACCOMPANIMENT BY METAL OBJECT
    Publication number: 20210309476
    Abstract: An image reading device includes a magnetizer that magnetizes a metal object attached to a document, a magnetism detector that is disposed on the downstream side of the magnetizer in a document transport direction from a document stacking table toward the document transport path and detects residual magnetism of the metal object, and a metal object accompaniment determination unit that determines whether or not the metal object is attached to the document based on a detection result by the magnetism detector.

  • IMAGE READING DEVICE AND STAPLE DETERMINATION METHOD
    Publication number: 20210179374
    Abstract: An image reading device includes: a document delivery unit for delivering a document loaded on a document loading platform to a document transport path; a flip-up detector for detecting flip-up of the document when the document is delivered; a metal detector for detecting metal attached to the document when the document is delivered; and a staple determination unit for determining whether or not a stapling process is applied to the document based on detection results of the flip-up detector and the metal detector.
