Abstract
An image processing system includes an image scanner that scans an image on a document into image data, a destination accepting unit that accepts selection of a destination that the image data is transferred by a first user, the destination at least corresponding to a user other than the first user selecting the destination, a blank page detector that detects a blank page in the image data, an image data processor that removes the detected blank page from the image data to generate blank page removed data and blank page data of the detected blank page, a specification unit that specifies a first destination of the first user, and a transmitter that transfers the blank page removed data to the destination corresponding to the user other than the first user and transfers the blank page removed data and the blank page data to the first destination of the first user.
