Abstract
An image processing apparatus is capable of rotating a read image into a desired direction according to the content of a mark sheet to be read prior to the originals. As a result, the operator need not pay particular attention to the direction in which he sets the originals on the reader unit. To this end, a detection unit detects an identifier on, or attached to, the original on the reader unit, a rotation unit rotates the read image, and an output unit for releasing the rotated image in accordance with the content of the mark sheet, for example by rotating the image in accordance with the receiving equipment.
