Abstract
Provided is an image-forming apparatus that is able to determine whether or not reading of a document ends properly without knowing the number of sheets of the document, and when overlapped feeding occurs, is able to estimate the location where overlapped feeding occurs. The image-forming apparatus has a document feeding unit that conveys a set document one sheet at a time, and a document reading unit that reads the conveyed document and obtains document image data. The image-forming apparatus includes an extraction-area-specifying unit that specifies part or all of the top and bottom margins of document image data as extraction areas, a number-image-extracting unit that respectively extracts the images in the extraction areas specified by the extraction-area-specifying unit as number images, and a number-image-summarizing unit that generates a number-verification page on which plural number images are summarized.
