Abstract
In an image processing apparatus, a read section inputs image data of an original document including a plurality of character strings indicating document receivers. A control section extracts character strings from an image data of the document and recognizes the document receivers by the character string data. The control section converts the character string data in the image data such that a display format of a character string representing one receiver is different from a display format of character strings representing the other receivers, to thereby obtain new image data addressed to the individual receivers. This apparatus has a printing section, a communication section performing facsimile communications, and another communication section performing network communications, and the control section controls these sections such that for one receiver, one of these sections outputs the newly obtained image data addressed to this receiver.
