Abstract:
Image transformation is performed via a video display controlling device. Image data is transformed from an image storage memory having a matrix size of (N+a).times.(M+b) onto a display screen sized to display an image according to N.times.M size matrix. The video display controlling device operates according to any one (or a combination of) several image transformation modes, including a normal mode, an expansion mode, a compression mode, and a moving image mode. These transformations are accomplished by first setting vertical and horizontal addresses of a reference pixel among pixel data stored in the storage memory, and setting an image mode for transforming an original image in a predetermine pattern. Addresses are then generated, in accordance with the set reference pixel and the set image mode, for selecting an N.times.M set of pixel data from among the (N+a).times.(M+b) pixel data in the storage memory.
Abstract:
A multi-function machine has a jam removing apparatus comprising a first case disposed with respect to a printer unit to form a portion of paper supply path of the printer unit and having a portion of component parts of a scanner unit therein, a second case disposed with respect to the first case to form a portion of document supply path of the scanner unit together with the first case and having the rest of the component parts of the scanner unit therein, a first moving unit to separate the first and second cases apart from the printer unit so as to remove a jammed sheet of paper when the sheet of paper is jammed in the printer unit, and a second moving unit to separate the second case apart from the first case so as to remove a jammed document when the document is jammed in the scanner unit. The multi-function machine can remove the jammed sheet of paper and/or document jammed in scanning and/or printing operations, en bloc in the same place by one jam removing apparatus, and can also be constructed to have a reduced size and compact structure.
Abstract:
A driving apparatus of a multi-function machine includes a scanner unit scanning data recorded on a sheet of document and a document transport part to transport the sheet of document. A printer unit prints data on a sheet of paper for an output and includes a carrier including a print head with an ink jet nozzle mounted thereon to carry out the printing operation by moving the print head. The driving apparatus includes a driving motor, a scanner driving part driving the scanner unit, a printer driving part driving the printer unit, and a power switching part disposed with the driving motor, the scanner driving part, and the printer driving part. The power switching part selectively transmits a power of the driving motor to at least one of the scanner driving part and the printer driving part.

Abstract:
An apparatus to remove an ink cartridge of an ink-jet printer. The apparatus includes a carriage having a supporting frame movably supported by a guide rail, and a receptacle connected to the supporting frame, an ink cartridge removable from the receptacle, the ink cartridge having a latching protrusion formed at an upper end thereof, a latching unit disposed at the supporting frame, being compressible and de-compressible to an original form, the latching unit in a compressed state latching the latching protrusion of the ink cartridge and the latching unit in a de-compressed state, is released from the latching protrusion, and a moving unit having a joint portion which pivots at a predetermined angle. The moving unit is pivotally disposed at the supporting frame, the moving unit to pivot in a first direction to completely mount the ink cartridge from a temporary mounting position in the receptacle and to compress the latching unit. The jointing portion is fixedly positioned in a bent state due to a recovery force of the compressed latching unit, and the moving unit pivots in a second direction, opposite to the first direction to permit the latching unit to return to the uncompressed state.
Abstract:
A top loading apparatus for use in a sheet feeding system for a printer is disclosed, wherein a finger which performs sheet loading is operated with a lever by user manipulation and is capable of elastic restoration. The apparatus comprises a lever rotatably mounted to a frame for moving at an angle of predetermined degree, torsion spring having its arms engagedly fixed to frame and lever, respectively, for supporting a restoration of level, a finger having its fixed arm rotatably and pivotally mounted to frame so that its free arm moves to load a sheet, and an elastic member which links frame and finger for allowing finger to be elastically restored when lever restores.
