An image processing apparatus is for exactly reproducing color originals. The apparatus includes a circuit for removing a ground color contained in an input color signal by forcibly changing an input signal having a level larger than a predetermined level to white. The apparatus may include a gamma correction circuit having therein a plurality of selectable gamma collection data. The apparatus may also include a circuit for producing a natural monochromatic signal from signals corresponding to three primary color signals R, G and B by performing an operation expressed as [(signal corresponding to R).times.2.sup.I +(signal corresponding to G).times.2.sup.I +(signal corresponding to B).times.2.sup.K ]/2.sup.L wherein I, J, K and L are integers and 2.sup.I +2.sup.J +2.sup.K =2.sup.L.

A digital copying machine comprising an image scanner part for reading an original image to reproduce image data of the original image, a laser printer part for printing an image according to given image data, a removable memory card, and a reader/writer of the memory card is provided. For offline print, the image data of a document prepared in an external computer and output control data are stored into the memory card. By installing this memory card in the digital copying machine, the digital copying machine prints the image data read out from the memory card offline in a desired output form. For offline image input, read control data obtained by using an image scanner such as a read gradation level, a read size, density, and the degree of edge enhancement is stored in the removable memory card using software executed in an external computer. By installing this storage medium in the digital copying machine and setting an original to be read in the digital copying machine, the original image is read according to the read control data stored in the memory card, and the obtained image data is stored into the memory card.

An image formation and control method and apparatus enabling a user to print data to be printed reliably up to the limited reproduction number permitted to the user even if troubles at the time of printing occur when the number of reproductions of the data to be printed is limited, is presented. With reference to the printing management information added to the data to be printed, when the number of reproductions of the data to be printed is limited, the mode is changed from the performance priority mode for normally reproducing data to be printed into the safety priority mode capable of carrying out the required reproduction more reliably than in the performance priority mode, the number of printing of the data to be printed is managed as a printing history, and the printing of the data to be printed is controlled based on the number of reproductions of the data to be printed and the managed printing history.

An image information processor has an image superimposing and outputting means for printing out a superimposed image where a bar code representative of a storage location of an electronic document file received through a facsimile is superimposed on the first page of the electronic document file. When a necessary electronic document file is read out, the bar code is read from the printed output corresponding to the necessary electronic document file being set by the user, the storage location of the electronic document file is decrypted from the bar code to thereby identify and read out the electronic document file. In this case, the reading of the bar code is performed only when a permitted password is inputted by the user. The readout of the electronic document file is not performed otherwise.

A digital copier includes an image reading part and a printing part. The image reading part includes reading means for electrically scanning lines of image information of a document in a primary scanning direction at a predetermined cycle to output image signals for the lines; secondary scanning means for mechanically moving a primary scanning position with respect to the document at a constant secondary scanning speed V in a secondary scanning direction perpendicular to the primary scanning direction; and line thinning means for thinning out lines for the image signals to 1/N where N is an integer. The printing part prints an image on a printing medium based on the image signals supplied from the image reading part. The lines of image information of the document are copied at an arbitrary zoom ratio in the secondary scanning direction by combining a value of the integer N and a value of the secondary scanning speed V.

An imaging apparatus comprising a counterfeiting prevention arrangement and reliably preventing counterfeit reproduction of currency, negotiable certificates, and other registered documents is provided by preventing modification or removal of the counterfeiting prevention arrangement. Modification or removal of the counterfeiting prevention arrangement is prevented in this imaging apparatus by integrating circuit elements or components of the counterfeiting prevention arrangement with circuit elements or components of the image processors of the imaging system in a single chip, or sealing these components in a single mold, effectively preventing modification or removal of the counterfeiting prevention arrangement without disabling the imaging system.

The image processing apparatus for smoothing edges in a reproduced image includes an image data generating circuit for generating image data including a specified pixel and a plurality of pixels surrounding the specified pixel; a sub-pixel data generating circuit for dividing the specified pixel included in the image data into N sub-pixels, for detecting the condition of the specified pixel and the condition of the plurality of pixels surrounding the specified pixel included in the image data by matching the image data with a plurality of predetermined patterns, and for generating sub-pixel data for determining the number and position of sub-pixels to be exposed of the N sub-pixels, based on the condition of the specified pixel and the condition of the plurality of pixels surrounding the specified pixel; and supplying circuit for supplying the sub-pixel data to exposure circuit which makes exposure. The sub-pixel data generating circuit generates sub-pixel data for exposing M sub-pixels of the N sub-pixels, when the specified pixel is detected to be an exposed pixel which requires no exposure correction, where M is smaller than N.

An image processing apparatus performs an edge correction process for image signals of respective pixels sequentially inputted, each image signal having a density level corresponding to a pixel. An edge amount detector of the image processing apparatus calculates a difference between a density level of an image signal of a specified pixel predetermined from among the image signals and a product of a predetermined value and the sum of the density levels of peripheral pixels located at a predetermined distance from the specified pixel, and outputs a detection signal having a level of an edge amount of the calculated difference, and an edge amount convertor converts the edge amount of the detection signal into a converted edge amount in a predetermined manner, and outputs a conversion signal having level of the converted edge amount. Further, an adder adds the converted edge amount of the conversion signal to the density level of the image signal of the specified pixel, and outputs an image signal of the specified pixel having a level of the addition result, for which the edge correction process has been performed. The image processing apparatus may be made part of a digital copying machine.
