Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a facsimile terminal that detects occurrence of black stripes to read image information due to adhesion of dust or the like to a read section so as to inform a user about it before transmission of the read image information. SOLUTION: When a plurality of originals are set to a scanner (S101), an operation panel enters a destination name (S102) and a start key is depressed, the facsimile terminal allows the scanner to start reading of the originals (S103), an image processing section applies required image processing to image information of the originals read by the scanner and applies black stripe detection processing to the image information (S105). When the black stripe detection processing is finished, the facsimile terminal directly transits the image information of the page (S106), and discriminates whether or not the black stripe detection processing by the image processing section detects black stripes (S107). When no black stripe is detected, the facsimile terminal allows the scanner to stamp a finished stamp only once and when any black stripe is detected, the facsimile terminal allows the scanner to stamp the finished stamp twice for each page sequentially.
