Abstract
A data processing apparatus comprises: code analyzing means for analyzing input code data encoded by a two-dimension encoding system; developing means for developing the code data in accordance with an analysis result by the code analyzing means, to produce decoded data; and means for stopping the analysis by the code analyzing means by detecting a horizontal mode code by the code analyzing means, and resuming the analysis by the code analyzing means by the completion of the development of the analyzed code data by the developing means. The code analyzing means and the developing means are parallelly operated, and upon detection of the horizontal mode code, the analysis by the code analyzing means is temporarily stopped until the development of the analyzed code data is over.
