ABSTRACT:
An information processing apparatus includes a scanner device for reading documents M as image information, and a filing device for separating the image information thus read into groups and filing each group of information as a block of document data. The filing device has ROM storing a monochrome-sheet-using separation designating routine which is programmed to extract a monochrome sheet such as entirely white or black sheet as a separating sheet by detecting whole colors in a specified area of a sheet and to designate a grouping of document data by the separating sheet. With this structure, it is possible to use a plain monochrome sheet such as an ordinary white sheet as the separating sheet for separating a plurality of documents into groups for filing each group as a block of document data. In addition, since there is no need to provide a light emitting section and a light receiving section for judging the separating sheet, the manufacturing cost is reduced. Furthermore, when the entirely monochrome sheet is used, the criteria for identifying the separating sheet are eased, thereby improving the accuracy of recognizing the separating sheet.
