Abstract
A document reading device suitable for use for a personal computer, a facsimile, and a work station or the like, and comprises a reading means for reading the image information provided on a manuscript, a read controlling means for controlling the reading means in such a way that when the reading operation of the reading means is interrupted while reading said manuscript, a predetermined amount of the image information read by the reading means immediately before said interruption occurred, can be reread after the reading operation is restarted, and a processing means for processing both groups of the image information duplicately read by the reading means before and after the interruption thereof, respectively, by modifying them in such a way that a portion of the image information finally output and based upon the image information read by the reading means before the interruption, and another portion of the image information finally output and based upon the image information read by the reading means after the interruption, can be connected to form a continuous configuration. By using this device, an unnatural configuration of reproduced image caused by the interruption of the reading operation and by the restart thereof, can be eliminated.
