PARAGRAPH MARK PAPER READER, COMPLEX PROCESSING APPARATUS, PROCESSING SYSTEM FOR READING PARAGRAPH MARK PAPER AND PROCESSING METHOD FOR READING PARAGRAPH MARK PAPER

摘要

A document reading apparatus reduces processing time and affords excellent ease of use when reading a slip document to acquire both magnetically read data and image data. Transportation unit 19, 20 convey slips through a transportation path. Magnetic reading unit 21, 22 output magnetically read data acquired by reading the printed magnetic ink characters from the slip as the slip passes through the transportation path, and optical reading unit 23, 24 output image data captured by optically imaging the same slip during the same pass through the transportation path. A control unit 11 interprets control commands and controls slip transportation, the magnetic reading process, and the optical reading process accordingly. A single-pass multiple-reading command controls executing a single-pass multiple-reading process for applying both the magnetic reading and optical reading of specified slip during a single pass through the transportation path.
