Abstract
In a conventional scan system, even in the case where an image forming device has an image processing function, since image processing such as OCR processing and OCR preprocessing for increasing a character recognition rate in the OCR processing is performed by only a scan server, a processing load is concentrated in the scan server. In the scan server of the present invention, scan setting and the OCR preprocessing are described in a scan ticket (instruction data), and the image forming device performs, on a scanned image, the OCR preprocessing described in the scan ticket received from the scan server.
