Abstract
A reading apparatus includes a paper feed section that feeds a sheet on which an image is formed with decolorable material to a conveyance path. A reading section positioned on the conveyance path reads the image formed on the sheet and generates image data corresponding to the read image. A paper discharge section discharges the sheet after the reading section has read the image. If the reading section reads a portion of the image formed on the sheet due to an error, the sheet is conveyed to the reading section again to read a remainder portion of the image that was not initially read in the reading section and to generate image data corresponding to the remainder portion of the image. The image data corresponding to the read portion of the image is combined with the image data corresponding to the remainder portion of the image.
