An area control system for an image processing apparatus including a input unit 1 for inputting image signals, a area control unit 2 for generating control signals according to a specified area, document type and processing mode, and a processing unit 3 having a plurality of processing blocks 3-1, 3-2, . . . for processing image signals by setting parameters in the processing blocks 3-1, 3-2, . . . , comprises a decode unit 4 for generating signals to switch the parameters in the processing blocks 3-1, 3-2, . . . of the processing unit 3 by control signals for each area generated by the area control unit 2. The decode unit distributes the control signals from the area control unit to the processing blocks, through the decode unit 4. With such an arrangement, when the area control unit 2 merely outputs the document type and a processing mode for each area, such as an input mode and an output mode, the decode unit 4 automatically generates control signals for the processing blocks 3-1, 3-2, . . . and distributes them to the processing blocks. If the decode unit 4 is provided for each processing block 3-1, 3-2, . . . , the processing system and the processing blocks, if required, can be altered or modified for each processing block.
