Abstract:
An image erasing apparatus according to an embodiment includes a sheet supply portion that supplies a sheet and an ejector. A first conveying path conveys the sheet from the sheet supply portion toward the ejector. A reader arranged on the first conveying path reads an image on the sheet. A second conveying path branches from the first conveying path at a downstream of the reader on the first conveying path and merges with the first conveying path at an upstream of the reader on the first conveying path. An erasing unit is arranged on the second conveying path. A conveying path changing portion is arranged at a branching portion. An operating portion receives a setup of the processing to the sheet. A controller changes a conveying path of the sheet in accordance with the setup received by the operating portion before the sheet is supplied from the sheet supply portion.

Claim (Index 14):
An image erasing apparatus, comprising:\n a sheet supply portion configured to supply a sheet; an ejector to which the sheet is ejected; a first conveying path configured to form a conveying path from the sheet supply portion toward the ejector; a reader arranged on the first conveying path configured to read an image on the sheet; a second conveying path that braches from a downstream of the reader on the first conveying path and that merges with the upstream of the reader; an erasing unit arranged on the second conveying path configured to erase the image on the sheet; a switching portion arranged at a downstream side of the reader configured to switch a conveyance path of the sheet toward the ejector or toward the erasing unit; and a controller configured to control the switching portion to switch the conveying paths of the sheet and determine whether or not the sheet read by the reader is reusable.
