Abstract

See full text

A digital MFP, upon capturing one page of an image, determines whether a graphic code indicating a page ID exists in the image. If a graphic code is found, the corresponding page ID is searched for in a database. If the page ID is found in the database, the scanned image just captured is discarded and, in place thereof, printing data associated with the page ID are retrieved in order to generate an image for printing it on paper. On the other hand, if a graphic code indicating a page ID is found in the scanned image but the corresponding page ID is not registered in the database, or if a graphic. code indicating the page ID is absent from the scanned image, the scanned image is printed on paper as in an ordinary copying operation.
