票仕分け機構2を備えている。As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 (a) and 2 (b), the optical character reading apparatus 1 of the present embodiment comprises a hopper 10 for feeding paper sheets and a paper sheet. A transport unit 11 for transporting the paper sheet 101 and determining whether or not the written content of the paper sheet has been reliably read, and removing the paper sheet 101 that could not be read from the paper discharge unit 12
Means for moving the guide plate 13 when the sheet is ejected to the stacker unit 14 so that the sheet 101 can be shifted by a predetermined distance from another sheet 100 in the lateral direction of the sheet ejection direction. The document sorting mechanism 2 is provided.

And the transport unit 11 transports the form. After the reading operation is completed, the readable form 100 is discharged along the form guide 15 because the guide plate 13 does not operate when the sheet is discharged to the stacker unit 14. Also, read errors,
In the case of the unreadable form 101, the guide plate 13 attached to the form guide side of the paper discharge section 12 operates at a position slightly distant from the form guide 15, so that the direction of form discharge is determined by the form guide 15. And is discharged to the stacker unit 14 in an offset state.

する光学文字読取装置を提供できる効果がある。As described above, according to the present invention, although there is only one stacker unit for discharging a form, a form that has been normally read is distinguished from a form in which a reading error or an unreadable form has occurred. By providing a mechanism that can sort, it is possible to reduce extra work such as performing sorting work by hand based on a stamp or the like on a form that has been successfully read, as in the past, In addition, since the sorting operation is realized by one stacker unit, it has a form sorting mechanism and an advantage that the size of the apparatus can be reduced compared to the conventional case having two stacker units. There is an effect that an optical character reading device can be provided.
