Abstract:
1. An image processing device comprising: a scanner for scanning an image to provide the image data; an image processor for processing the image data which is provided by said scanner; a first controller for causing said scanner to scan the image to provide the image data and for causing said image processor to process the provided image data synchronously with the scanning operation of the scanner; and a second controller for, if a part of the image data have not been processed during the control operation of said first controller, causing the scanner to scan the image again to provide the image data of said part and also causing said image processor to process the provided image data of said part synchronously with the scanning operation of the scanner, wherein when the second controller causes the scanner to scan the image again, scanning speed is slower at positions of the image where the part of the image data have not been processed during the control operation of the first controller as compared with positions of the image where the image data have been processed during the control operation of the first controller.
