Abstract
Abstract Disclosed is an electronic filing apparatus capable of filing documents (34) employing an optically readable mark sheet (17). This electronic filing apparatus includes a scanner (5) for reading a data sheet including the mark sheet (17) and original sheets (34). When the mark sheet (17) is read by the scanner (5), a reading condition of the original sheets (34) is set in the scanner (5) by marks attached onto the mark sheet (17). Original data of the original sheets (34) is read based on the set reading condition to be filed in a storage device (6). If marks representing a search condition is attached onto the mark sheet (17), information of the search condition read from the mark sheet (17) is filed along with the original data read from the original sheets (34).
