Abstract
An electronic filing system includes a conveying section to convey an original put on an original setting plate to a reading position, a reading section to read an image of the original at the reading position, a manual feed mode control means device for executing a manual feed mode to convey and read the original each time it is detected that the original has been set onto the original setting plate, a continuous feed mode control means device for executing a continuous feed mode to continuously convey and continuously read a plurality of originals which were piled on the original setting plate, a mode selecting circuit to select either one of the manual feed mode and the continuous feed mode and a memory section to store the image which was read by the reading section together with index information. In this system, after storage of the image has been started in the manual feed mode, the feed mode can be switched to the continuous feed mode and the image can be stored together with the same index information without again inputting the index information.
