A scanner include a scan section configured to intermittently move and perform an intermittent scan, a stop-state analyzing section configured to compare a stop-time image obtained by a scan of an identification pattern on a medium in a stop position where the movement of the scan section temporarily stops and scan results before and after the stop and determine, based on a comparison result, whether the medium moved, and a scan control section configured to cause the scan section to suspend the temporarily-stopped intermittent scan when the medium moved and cause the scan section to continue the temporarily-stopped intermittent scan when the medium did not move.

A document determination system includes a server device that stores identification information in association with document information, a printer that prints a document image corresponding to the document information and a code image indicating the identification information on a print medium to generate a normal printed matter, and a scanner that reads a print image printed on a printed matter including the normal printed matter and a copied printed matter obtained by copying the normal printed matter. The printer prints the code image in a preset end region of the print medium. The server device determines whether the printed matter is the normal printed matter based on the code image included in the print image read by the scanner.

A printing apparatus having an insert-sheet inserting function includes a plurality of sheet-feeding ports, a printing mechanism that performs printing on paper fed from each sheet-feeding port, and a controller that controls the printing mechanism. In a case where no insert-sheets are present in a sheet-feeding port for insert-sheets when the printing mechanism feeds the insert-sheets from the sheet-feeding port for insert-sheets, the controller selects another sheet-feeding port different from the sheet-feeding port for insert-sheets as a new sheet-feeding port for insert-sheets on the basis of a paper specification of paper used for printing data to be printed and a sheet-feeding port setting.
