<p>A character and image processing apparatus comprises a scanning section for photoelectrically converting data on a sheet in which character data and image data are mixedly arranged in a free format; an image buffer for storing the photoelectrically converted data; a scanning control circuit for scanning the stored data in the image buffer to detect control marks and for determining a character read mode, an image data output mode or a skip mode according to the control mark; a character recognizing circuit for recognizing characters from the image buffer when the scanning control circuit determines the control marks as the character read mode; a data compression circuit for compressing the image data from the image buffer when the scanning control circuit determines the control marks as the image data output mode; and a data editing circuit for discriminately editing the character data and the image data.</p> |
