Abstract
A determination apparatus comprises a memory and a controller. The memory stores the area data of a plurality of areas divided in a specific form. The controller acquires a scanned image after an erasing processing is carried out for a sheet on which the specific form is printed, determines the state of the sheet subjected to the erasing processing by differing a threshold value for each image area associated with the area data and determines whether or not the sheet is reusable based on the result of the determination.
