Abstract:
In one embodiment, an erasing apparatus has a scanner, an erasing unit, a plurality of sheet discharge trays, and a processor. The processor acquires, from image data of a sheet outputted by the scanner, attribute data of the sheet. The processor controls execution propriety of erasing processing by the erasing unit, and sorting processing to discharge the sheet to the plurality of sheet discharge trays, based on the attribute data.

Claim (Index 19):
An erasing apparatus, comprising:\n a scanner configured to execute a scan processing to scan a sheet and output image data of the sheet; a heat source configured to execute a decoloring processing to decolor an image formed with decolorable material on a sheet by applying heat and pressure to the sheet; a plurality of sheet discharge trays which house the sheet after the scan processing by the scanner or the sheet after the decoloring processing by the heat source; and a processor configured to:\n acquire attribute data of the sheet from the image data output by the scanner, the attribute data including security level setting information having a security level value which is a value in accordance with necessity of security management of the sheet and which is preset to data indicating whether or not to decolor an image formed on the sheet and to data indicating whether or not to discharge the sheet to a prescribed sheet discharge tray out of the plurality of sheet discharge trays, \n control whether to execute the decoloring processing on the sheet after the scan by the scanner based on the attribute data, and \n control an execution of a sort processing to discharge the sheet that has been subject to the decoloring processing or the sheet that has not been subject to the decoloring processing to the prescribed sheet discharge tray based on the attribute data.
