Image cropping device, control method for image cropping device, and program

Abstract

This system provides a mechanism that can identify the cutting data to be used without using an image reading method that recognizes the graphic code. [Solution] The image cutting device 300 includes a sensor unit 340 for detecting registration marks. The image cutting device 300 detects a barcode image based on sensor data indicating the length of a black image detected by the optical sensor of the sensor unit 340. The image cutting device 300 identifies a print job ID from the detected barcode image and performs a cutting process on the printed material using cutting data corresponding to this print job ID.

Claims

1. An image cropping device that performs cropping operations to cut out a predetermined area from a set printed material, A sensor for detecting registration mark images from the aforementioned printed material, A means for detecting a barcode image based on data indicating the length of a black image detected by the aforementioned sensor, An image cutting apparatus characterized by comprising: means for identifying identification information from the detected barcode image; and means for controlling the execution of the cutting process on the printed material using cutting data corresponding to the identification information, which is generated based on information set by the user.

2. The image clipping apparatus according to claim 1, characterized in that the identification information is identification information that identifies a print job for outputting the printed material.

3. The image cutting apparatus according to claim 2, characterized in that the barcode image is an image obtained by converting at least the identification information and the information indicating the page number of the printed material.

4. The barcode image is an image obtained by converting the identification information and the information indicating the position of the barcode image in the printed material. The image cropping apparatus according to claim 2, characterized in that the controlling means controls the execution of the cropping process on the printed material based on the orientation of the printed material identified from the detected barcode image.

5. A control method for an image cropping device that performs cropping processing to cut out a predetermined area from a set printed material, A step of controlling a sensor for detecting registration mark images from the aforementioned printed material, A step of detecting a barcode image based on data indicating the length of a black image detected by the sensor, A method for controlling an image cutting device, comprising the steps of: identifying identification information from the detected barcode image; and controlling the execution of the cutting process on the printed material using cutting data corresponding to the identification information, which is generated based on information set by the user.

6. A program that causes a computer to execute a control method for an image cropping device that performs cropping processing to cut out a predetermined area from a set printed document, The control method for the image cropping device is as follows: A step of controlling a sensor for detecting registration mark images from the aforementioned printed material, A step of detecting a barcode image based on data indicating the length of a black image detected by the sensor, A program characterized by having the steps of: identifying identification information from the detected barcode image; and controlling the execution of the cutting process on the printed material using cutting data corresponding to the identification information, which is generated based on information set by the user.
