Abstract
An original handling apparatus includes a digitizer for feeding an original to a predetermined position and allowing the operator pad to designate an arbitrary area of the original using a write pen and a two-dimensional electrode. The apparatus also includes an original (document) feeder for feeding the original to the predetermined position, and a selecting unit for selecting the digitizer or the original feeder. The selecting unit includes a sensor for detecting opening/closing of a digitizer cover. When the cover is open, the original is fed from the original feeder. When the cover is closed, the original is fed from the digitizer.
