Abstract
A document editing apparatus comprises an apparatus body, an image reader and a detachable signal cable disconnectably connecting the image reader to the apparatus body. The image reader comprises an image sensor, a connector for connection to an externally inserted card-type semiconductor memory integrated circuit package for storing image data, a selector switch for selecting image data to be stored, a light-emitting diode for displaying an insufficient residual memory capacity of the package, and a control circuit. Image data read by the image sensor is selectively stored in the semiconductor memory integrated circuit package inserted into the image reader or in the apparatus body.
