Abstract:
An image forming apparatus includes a CPU. According to user operations, the CPU causes an image reading unit to read, at once, the front surfaces of documents placed on the respective area divisions of a document platen, and obtains individual front surface images. The CPU causes the image reading unit to read the back surfaces of the documents at once, and obtains individual back surface images. The CPU generates image files, each including a front surface image and a back surface image, for the respective area divisions. The CPU determines whether or not a read error is present in each of the obtained images. When an image file includes an image having a read error, the CPU stores, in an HDD, the image file with a file name indicating presence of a read error.

Claim (Index 5):
The image reading apparatus according to  claim 1 ,\n wherein a plurality of read operations are performed, wherein the operation executing unit\n generates a plurality of image files for the respective areas, each of the plurality of image files being an image file in which a plurality of pieces of image data associated with a corresponding one of the areas are added together, the plurality of pieces of image data being obtained by performing the read operations, \n when a read error is present in a subset or all of the plurality of pieces of image data included in an image file among the plurality of image files, stores the image file in a storage medium in such a manner that presence of a read error is recognizable, and when no read error is present in all of the plurality of pieces of image data included in the image file, stores the image file in a storage medium in such a manner that absence of a read error is recognizable.
