Abstract:
1. A control device for controlling an image processing system, the image processing system comprising: an image input section, which (i) is capable of continuously reading documents from a plurality of bundles of documents which bundles are stacked so that an interleaving paper is placed between any adjacent ones of the plurality of bundles, each of which bundles is made up of at least one document and (ii) creates image data of each of read documents; a blank document determining section for determining whether or not the image data created by the image input section is blank document data; an interleaving paper detecting section for detecting image data of the interleaving paper from the image data created by the image input section; and an output section for carrying out an output process with respect to the image data created by the image input section, the image input section having a double-side reading function of reading double sides of each of the documents and then creating image data of each of the double sides, the output section having (i) a blank page skipping function of causing the blank document data determined by the blank document determining section not to be subjected to the output process and (ii) a separating function of carrying out the output process with respect to each image data of a bundle of documents separated by the image data of the interleaving paper detected by the interleaving paper detecting section, said control device comprising a function setting section for enabling the double-side reading function and the blank page skipping function when enabling the separating function, whereby the enabling of the separating function enables a) the double-side reading function to read double sides of each of the documents and create the image data of each of the double sides, and b) the blank page skipping function to cause the blank document data in the image data of each of double sides not to be subjected to the output process.
