Abstract
When an image is to be filed in the storage means , an original copy size detection means identifies the type (size and lay) of the original copy. A first positioning means puts up a plurality of possible places on the printing paper to write the ID mark in, the plurality of possible places given a priority number. A space checking means checks the possible space which comes up for checking according to priority numerical order and notifies the first positioning means of the results. A pattern synthesizing means integrates an ID mark corresponding to the document ID in the space found to be blank by the space checking means , generating an image representing the marked sheet.
