ABSTRACT:
A network scanner system and original reading method, which can efficiently use time and hardware resources, and can efficiently input originals consisting of a plurality of pages. When a personal computer (100) reads originals using N scanners (200) to which are connected via a LAN and each of which has an automatic document feeding facility, for example, 100 pages of originals are divided into three groups in correspondence with three scanners (200) used for reading, a re-arranging order of three bundles of divided originals set on the three scanners is input to the personal computer (100), and thereafter, a reading instruction for reading the divided originals is supplied to the three scanners (200). In accordance with this instruction, the scanners are controlled to read the set originals. When the three scanners transfer information of the read divided originals to the personal computer (100) via a transmission path (300), the personal computer (100) re-arranges the transferred original information in the order of pages in accordance with the input re-arranging order.
