ABSTRACT:
This invention is a mail address reading apparatus including a circuit for detecting image data of a mail, a circuit for detecting marks indicating the position of an address area from the image data, and a circuit for specifying the address area of the image data based on the position indicated by the marks and reading the address of the image data in the address area. In this apparatus, the address area can be specified by the detected mark position without causing any problem even if image information other than the address is present and the address can be correctly read.
