Abstract:
A decoloring apparatus includes a reading unit that reads an image formed on a sheet and outputs image information corresponding to the read image. A control unit is configured to recognize the image information output by the reading unit and determine whether decoloring using the decoloring unit is performed on the sheet based on the recognized image information.

Claim (Index 29):
A decoloring apparatus comprising:\n a decoloring unit configured to perform a decoloring processing for decoloring an image formed on a sheet; a reading unit configured to read a surface of the sheet and output image information corresponding to the read surface; and a control unit including a processor configured to:\n receive the image information from the reading unit, the received image information corresponding to the surface of the sheet read by the reading unit after the decoloring unit performs the decoloring processing on the sheet, \n determine a number of uses of the sheet based on the received image information, and \n determine whether the sheet is reusable based further on the determined number of uses.
