Abstract:
1. An image processing apparatus adapted for processing image data corresponding to a plurality of pages of a document, comprising: an input device for acquiring image data; an image data processor for applying a processing to the image data acquired by the input device; a compressor for compressing the image data processed by the image data processor; a storage medium for storing the image data compressed by the compressor; and a controller for controlling the image data processor, the storage medium and the compressor so that, after compressed image data corresponding to a page of the document is stored in the storage medium, the processing applied by the image data processor and a compression rate applied by the compressor to the processed image data are changed based on the number of the pages of the document so that image data corresponding to all pages of the document can be stored in the storage medium when it is determined that the storage medium cannot store further image data corresponding to a given page of the document.
