Abstract
In an image reading apparatus, a film scanner shortens the time required for transferring image data by transferring image data that is compressed in the JPEG format to a computer in response to a request from the computer. On the computer side, the time required for recording image data in the hard disk drive can be shortened and an ensuing process can be simplified so that the time required for capturing and processing image data can be shortened.
