Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent an operation mistake at an input of an original by displaying one side in the case of the one side of original input mode and displaying both sides in the case of the both side input. CONSTITUTION:Either the one side input mode or the both side input mode is selected depending whether an original is a one-side original or a both side original, and when the one side input mode is selected, only one part of a read section 16 is operated and only one side of the original is read. Then a display section 15 as a display means displays a read original so that the content of the read original is confirmed while the original is being read. Moreover, a data sought from a recording section 13 is displayed at the retrieval of the original.

[Detailed description of the invention]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an image recording apparatus for recording electronic files and the like.

0002

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, optical disks and magneto-optical disks have been used as a method for recording and managing manuscripts such as texts because of their large recording capacity and fast search speed.

[0003] However, these methods require a lot of time to input manuscripts and create indexes (search data);
Especially when it comes to image input, there is an inconvenience in that one side of the document must be input one by one.

[0004] Therefore, some models allow simultaneous input of images on both sides, and can be switched between a single-sided input mode and a double-sided input mode depending on whether the original is a single-sided or double-sided original.

[0005]

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, in the conventional example described above, although it is possible to quickly switch between single-sided input mode and double-sided input mode, due to an operational error, a double-sided original is input in single-sided mode, and only one image is displayed. The drawback was that even if a mistake was made, such as not being entered, it would not be known.

The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and its object is to provide an image recording apparatus that prevents operational errors when inputting a document.

[0007]

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides an image recording device that reads and records a document, which includes display means for displaying the read document in accordance with an input mode. It is characterized by

[0008]

[Operation] In the image forming apparatus configured as described above, when the single-sided input mode is selected as the input mode, one side is displayed on the display means, and when the double-sided input mode is selected, both sides are displayed at the same time. , the input status of the original is confirmed, and operational errors when inputting the original are prevented.

[0009]

Embodiment FIG. 1 shows a schematic configuration of an image recording apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention, in which a document 1 consisting of an image is placed on a paper feed tray 2, the mode is switched to image recording mode, and the recording start switch is turned on. Press (not shown). Then, the feed roller 3 rotates in the direction of the arrow, and sends the document 1 to the paper feed roller 4 and separation roller 5. Here, the separation roller 5 is rotating in the opposite direction to the conveying direction, and prevents the documents 1 from being fed in an overlapping manner.

Further, the original 1 is sent to a reading section 16 by a conveyance roller 6. In the reading section, a reflected image of the document illuminated by illumination 7 is sent to CCD 10 via mirror 8 and lens 9. Here, the image is converted into an electrical signal and transferred to the recording section 13. The document that has been read is sent to the paper ejection roller 11 by the feed belt 14, and then delivered to the paper ejection tray 12.

In this device, it is possible to switch between a single-sided input mode and a double-sided input mode depending on whether the original is a single-sided or double-sided original. When the single-sided input mode is selected, only one side of the reading section 16 is operated. Only one side of the original is scanned.

Reference numeral 15 denotes a display unit, which serves to display the read original so that the contents of the read original can be confirmed while the original is being read. Furthermore, when searching for a manuscript, it functions to display the data found from the recording section 13.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing the operation in this case.

In the image recording mode, first, an input mode is selected (STEP 1). If the single-sided input mode is selected here, the device enters a state of waiting for a recording start switch.

Next, when the recording start switch is pressed, it is detected whether the original 1 is set, and if the original 1 is detected, the original is transported. Then, the reading section 16 reads only one side, and the read image is displayed on the display section 15 (step 2 above).

Similarly, if you select the double-sided input mode (ST
EP1), both sides are read simultaneously, and both sides are displayed on the display unit 15. (STEP 3) The original that has been read and displayed as described above is ejected and the process moves on to the next original (STEP 4).

FIG. 3 shows the display section in a state where double-sided display is performed, and both sides of the document are displayed on the screen at the same time.

As described above, by providing a display section that displays one side in the single-sided input mode and displays both sides in the double-sided input mode, it is possible to record an image while checking the input state. This prevents mistakes such as reading a single-sided original in the double-sided reading mode and recording even the unnecessary back side, or conversely reading a double-sided original in the single-sided mode and forgetting to record the back side.

In this embodiment, a screen is shown in which both sides are displayed side by side, but in the present invention, they do not necessarily have to be displayed at the same time; for example, a method of displaying the front side and the back side alternately is also sufficient. It is.

[0020]

[Effects of the Invention] As explained above, in the present invention, one side of the document is displayed when the document is in the single-sided input mode, and both sides are displayed when the document is in the double-sided input mode, thereby confirming the reading status of the document. You can record images while This prevents operational errors when inputting documents, such as scanning a single-sided document in double-sided scanning mode and recording the unnecessary back side, or conversely, scanning a double-sided document in single-sided mode and forgetting to record the back side. .
