Out.
Then, the barcode for managing the number of members printed on the cover of the booklet is read, and the personal computer checks the consistency between the destination and the data, and checks whether or not the shipment has been completed (inspection).

The characters and charges entered in the CR column are converted into image data, and the handwritten OCR portion is subjected to post-processing character recognition and converted into data. Image data is an ID for processing in automatic sequence
A number is assigned and associated with OCR character recognition data (for example, use date and time, amount of money). For a ticket or the like for which the OCR cannot be recognized, an operator performs punch input in the data processing control device 52 to correct data.
The corrected data is sent to the billing statement issuing device, and the code data such as date and amount is output by a high-speed printer.
Since the code data is associated with the image data, as shown in FIG. 7, the image of the original ticket, the date and time of use, and the amount of money can be associated and printed as a billing statement. By printing the department code or the like on the ticket in advance, it is possible to output data sorted for each department.
