Abstract
An image input processor having a detector which detects whether or not the rate of the width of a character or characters are cut off from the read character information with respect to the readable width being over a predetermined value. Also, the image input processor has a printer which prints the cut-off character or characters when the detected rate is over the predetermined value, and prohibits printing of the cut-off character or characters when the detected rate is less than the predetermined value. Whereby necessary information and unnecessary information can be distinguished from each other based on the degree of the read image information that is cut off.
