Abstract:
The image forming apparatus includes an image reading section and a control section. The image reading section reads a document placed on a contact glass to generate image data. The control section decides whether or not the document is present at a specified position of the contact glass and, upon deciding that the document is present at the specified position, erases handwritten images from the image data of the document read by the image reading section.

Claim (Index 7):
The image forming apparatus according to  claim 1 , further comprising:\n a printing section for executing a print job of printing, on a paper sheet, images based on image data; and a storage section for executing a preservation job of preserving image data, wherein when having executed the handwritten-image erasing process, the control section recognizes, as an objective direction, either one of a long-side direction or a short-side direction of image data that has been subjected to the handwritten-image erasing process, where when the objective direction is a direction along a main scanning direction, the control section executes a process for executing one of the print job and the preservation job and, when the objective direction is a direction along a sub scanning direction, the control section executes a process for executing the other of the print job and the preservation job.
