Abstract
When an image is to be filed in the storage means 105, an original copy size detection means 102b identifies the type (size and lay) of the original copy. A first positioning means 11a 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 6 checks the possible space which comes up for checking according to priority numerical order and notifies the first positioning means 11a of the results. A pattern synthesizing means 108 integrates an ID mark corresponding to the document ID in the space found to be blank by the space checking means 6, generating an image representing the marked sheet.
