IMAGE READING SYSTEM AND IMAGE READING DEVICE

The image reading system comprises an image reading device and a computer, which is connected to the image reading device. The image reading device has a line sensor by which an image recorded in a read object is read. Image data corresponding to the image is recorded in a recording medium by the image reading device. In the image reading device, only an operation mode, such as a reading operation, in which the image is read, a recording operation, in which the image data is recorded in the recording medium, and a deleting operation, in which the image data is deleted from the recording medium, can be performed. An operating condition, such as a resolution with which the image is indicated by a display device, can only be changed by the computer.
