Abstract:
1. An image-processing device comprising: a conveying path extending from a set position in which an original sheet is set to a discharge position in which the original sheet is discharged from the image-processing device; a conveying mechanism configured to convey a plurality of original sheets in the conveying path simultaneously; a sensor configured to output a detection signal if an original sheet is present at a detection position in the conveying path; an image processing unit disposed downstream of the sensor in the conveying path and configured to execute an image processing; a command reception unit configured to receive a command to begin the image processing; a control unit configured to control the conveying mechanism and the image processing unit; and a memory storing a reference time, the reference time being a predetermined time that should elapse from a point of time that the control unit begins to drive the conveying mechanism to convey an original sheet set in the set position until a point in time that the conveying mechanism conveys the original sheet from the set position to the detection position, wherein the control unit is further configured to determine whether or not an elapsed time is greater than or equal to the reference time, the elapsed time being time from a point in time that the control unit begins to drive the conveying mechanism in response to a reception of the command by the command reception unit until a point in time that the sensor outputs the detection signal; wherein the control unit controls the image processing unit such that the image processing unit does not execute the image processing when it is determined that the elapsed time is less than the reference time, and such that the image processing unit executes the image processing relevant to an original sheet that is present at the detection position when it is determined that the elapsed time is greater than or equal to the reference time.
