Abstract
A method for reproducing images comprises the steps of: obtaining 1st to Nth scan images in order, where N is a positive integer greater than 2; processing the 1st to Nth scan images into 1st to Nth document images and obtaining sizes of the 1st to Nth document images; and performing an ordered document typesetting according to an ordered accumulated size of the 1st to Nth document images to generate image data corresponding to one or multiple output pages. An image-processing apparatus is also provided. Thus, it is possible to prevent the waste of printing a small-size document image on a large-size sheet, and the user can obtain the order of documents according to the order of the output pages. So, an instinctive and environment protective copying technical solution can be provided, and an output result can be further adjusted.
