Abstract

An image processing apparatus and a method of controlling the same, where in a case where it is not possible to identify the size of an original document to be read by a reading apparatus that scans and reads the original document, the reading apparatus is controlled to read the original document by a maximum reading region of the reading apparatus, image data of the original document is cropped from image data obtained by reading the original document by the maximum reading region, and the cropped image data of the original document is converted to a file.

Claims

1. An image processing apparatus, comprising:

a memory that stores a set of instructions; and

at least one processor that executes the instructions to;

if a size of an original document to be read by a reading apparatus that scans and reads the original document cannot be identified, control the reading apparatus to read the original document by a maximum reading region of the reading apparatus;

crop image data of the original document from image data obtained by reading the original document by the maximum reading region; and

convert the cropped image data of the original document to a file.

2. The image processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the reading apparatus cannot identify the size of the original document to be read if the size of the original document is not a standard size.

3. The image processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the at least one processor executes the instructions further to:

determine whether reading of an original document in the reading apparatus is reading of an original document fed from an auto document feeder, or reading of an original document placed on an original document platen,

wherein the at least one processor, in a case of determining reading of an original document placed on the original document platen and not being able to identify the size of the original document, controls the reading apparatus to read the original document by the maximum reading region of the reading apparatus.

4. An image processing apparatus, comprising:

a reading unit configured to scan and read an original document;

a memory that stores a set of instructions; and

at least one processor that executes the instructions to;

if a size of an original document to be read by the reading unit cannot be identified, control the reading unit to read the original document by a maximum reading region of the reading unit;

crop image data of the original document from image data obtained by reading the original document by the maximum reading region; and

convert the cropped image data of the original document to a file.

5. The image processing apparatus according to claim 4, wherein the reading unit cannot identify the size of the original document to be read if the size of the original document is not a standard size.

6. The image processing apparatus according to claim 4, wherein the at least one processor executes the instructions further to:

obtain a width, height, and/or an area of image data corresponding to the original document.

7. The image processing apparatus according to claim 4, wherein the at least one processor executes the instructions further to:

display a menu screen including a button for instructing reading of an original document by the reading unit,

wherein the at least one processor causes reading of an original document by the reading unit to start in response to an instruction from the displayed button.

8. The image processing apparatus according to claim 4, wherein the at least one processor, in a case where it is possible to identify the size of an original document to be read by the reading unit, controls the reading unit to read the original document in accordance with the size of the original document.

9. The image processing apparatus according to claim 4, wherein the at least one processor executes the instructions further to:

send the image data of the original document that is converted to a file to a designated destination.

10. The image processing apparatus according to claim 4, wherein the at least one processor executes the instructions further to:

cause the image data of the original document that is converted to a file to be saved to a designated destination.

11. The image processing apparatus according to claim 4, wherein the at least one processor executes the instructions further to:

determine whether reading of an original document in the reading unit is reading of an original document fed from an auto document feeder, or reading of an original document placed on an original document platen,

wherein the at least one processor, in a case of determining reading of an original document placed on the original document platen and not being able to identify the size of the original document, controls the reading unit to read the original document by the maximum reading region of the reading unit.

12. A method of controlling an image processing apparatus, the method comprising:

if a size of an original document to be read by a reading apparatus that scans and reads the original document cannot be identified, controlling the reading apparatus to read the original document by a maximum reading region of the reading apparatus;

cropping image data of the original document from image data obtained by reading the original document by the maximum reading region; and

converting the cropped image data of the original document to a file.
