Abstract

See full text

An image reading system comprises an image reading device and an image storage device. The image reading device comprises: a reading unit, a converting unit, a determining unit, a transmission unit. The image storage device comprises a storage unit, a receiving unit, an image processing unit. The determining unit is configured to determine whether the image data is color data, gray data, or binary data, and is configured to generate determination data indicating a result of the determination. When the determination data indicates that the image data is the color data, the image processing unit stores the transmission data. When the determination data indicates that the image data is the gray data, the image processing unit stores the luminance data without storing the color difference data. When the determination data indicates that the image data is the binary data, the image processing unit stores black-white image data.
