Abstract
A document reading device is provided with a reading unit for reading a document and generating image data corresponding to an image formed on the document. The image data is stored in an external memory that is detachably attached to a slot of the device. The operation for storing the image data to the external memory is interrupted if the external memory is removed from the slot after the document reading is started. Thereafter, when the external memory is reattached to the document reading device, the image storing operation is restarted.
