Abstract
A communication system is composed of an OCR-FAX apparatus for reading contents of an order written in an optical character recognition (OCR) document sheet and performing an optical character recognition for the contents and an OCR center apparatus for receiving pieces of character recognized data obtained in the OCR-FAX apparatus and transmitting pieces of format information of the OCR document sheet to the OCR-FAX apparatus. A basic program of an OCR recognition program is stored in advance in a ROM region of an IC card. A subordinate program of the OCR recognition program and a piece of OCR document sheet identifying information are temporarily stored in a SRAM region of the IC card and are transferred to an EEPROM region of the IC card. The format information are temporarily stored in the SRAM region and are transferred to a format information storing unit. The format information stored is renewed by transmitting pieces of updated format information from the OCR center apparatus, and an updated OCR document sheet is printed out in the OCR-FAX apparatus according to the format information.
