Abstract
An image processing device includes a storage unit which stores both image data input from a reading unit and relevant information of the image data, a first image-data-processing unit which processes both the image data input from the reading unit and image data output to a writing unit, and a second image-data-processing unit which is detachably attached to the first image-data-processing unit, has an image recognition function, and processes the image data input from the reading unit. The first image-data-processing unit includes a recognition unit recognizing the input image data, an image processing unit performing image processing based on a result of the recognition by the recognition unit, and a determining unit determining whether operation of the second image-data-processing unit is normal.
