An image copying device includes: a setting section setting an image
processing condition specified by a user; a determination section
determining whether or not an image processing condition is embedded in a
read image obtained by reading out a sheet; and a control section that,
if the determination section determines that the image processing
condition is not embedded in the read image, performs control for
generating a copied material of the read image by using the image
processing condition set by the setting section. If the determination
section determines that an image processing condition is embedded in the
read image, the control section performs control for generating a copied
material by using the embedded image processing condition and a part of
the image processing condition set by the setting section, the part not
conflicting with the embedded image processing condition.
