Abstract

Abstract A 2-dimension scanning device (11) scans picture information. When one-page picture information is stored into a page buffer (21), it is displayed by a display unit (13). Thereafter, when an operator depresses an abandon key (35), the picture information is abandoned. When the operator depresses a record key (37), the picture information is recorded on a recording medium. The picture information is read out and displayed by the display unit (13), whenever necessary. The picture information is deleted from the recording medium when a delete key (41) is operated. When a confirmation key (39) is operated, a retrieval title corresponding to the picture information is recorded on the recording medium
