Abstract
An OCR document sheet is printed at an order terminal side, and contents of an order written in the OCR document sheet by an transmitter are read by a scanner of a scanner control element at the order terminal side. The contents of the order are converted into pieces of character recognized data according to the optical character recognition. Also, character patterns such as 'commodity name' are generated in a character generating element. The character recognized data and the character patterns are displayed, and the character recognized data are corrected when a transmitter desires the correction of the data displayed. Thereafter, the character recognized data are transmitted to an order-receiving center to inform the center of the contents of the order. Also, the character recognized data and the character patterns are printed out to record the contents of the order at the order terminal side. Because the character patterns are displayed with the character recognized data, the transmitter can easily realize the meaning of the character recognized data.
