An ID barcode printing section 13 prints IDs for identifying arrived mails. An address recognition section 21 recognizes address information for the primary sorting and the secondary sorting from the address images photographed by an image input section 14 for saving in an ID database 25. Based on the recognized primary sorting address information, the sorting control section 15 sorts the mails in a sorting box 16, 17 that corresponds to a secondary sorting post office 30. Upon filling up the sorting boxes 16, 17, the mails therein are transferred to a transportation medium. An ID writing section 18 writes secondary sorting address information of the mails in the transportation medium that is read from an ID database 25 for recording on the transportation medium. Upon reading the address information that is recorded on the transportation medium by an ID information read-out section 37, a sorting control section 34 in the secondary sorting post office 30 acquires the address information on each mail in the transportation medium for sorting each mail in sorting boxes 35, 36 for delivery address. |
