Abstract
It is decided whether or not image data are in memory section 21. In the case where image data that had been stored has been already erased, when erasing button 5 is pushed, the image data of scanner 1 is changed. Thus, it is possible to erase the image data and change the image mode of scanner 1 with one button, i.e. erasing button 7.
