摘要:
The data of the partial images of an original output from an original input scanning device is converted by an image reducing section into reduced images of data in accordance with the size of duplication. Each reduced image of data is stored in a data storage. A pattern matching section compares adjoining reduced partial images of data as to the overlapping image data, to check the congruency therebetween. Based on this judgement result, an address setting section generates a joining position address corresponding to the joining position in each storage area. A data output control section loads the adjoining reduced partial images of data stored in respective storage areas, in a sequentially, joinable manner, so that an image forming section forms a duplicated image of the original on a predetermined recording medium in accordance with the reduced image data.

The object of the present invention is to use the same FIFO line memory for both enlargement and reduction during variable-magnification processing in the scan direction, allowing reduction in circuit board area, reduction in power consumption, and reduction in cost, and to provide an image processing apparatus that allows variable-magnification processing to be carried out such that the speed of a scanning unit that captures image data during variable-magnification processing in the cross-scan direction is constant. During processing to enlarge an image in the scan direction, image data travels from CCD circuit board, passing through gate b of selector, is written to and read from FIFO memory, and from gate b of selector is written to memory provided at variable magnification unit. At variable magnification unit, image data is read from memory a plurality of times in correspondence to enlargement ratio, changing the magnification of the image data. Furthermore, image data is output through gate a of selector to LSU unit. During processing to reduce an image, image data travels from CCD circuit board, passing through gate a of selector, is input to variable magnification unit where it is subjected to variable-magnification processing, passes through gate a of selector, is written to and read from FIFO memory, passes through gate b of selector, and is output to LSU unit.

A storage area where compressed data is stored is divided into a plurality of divided areas having a data length of Ls. Each divided area is divided into two areas, a first area having a data length of Ld and a second area having a data length of La. A plurality of first areas are gathered starting from the upper address to the lower address, whereby a memory area for compressed image data is composed. A plurality of second areas are gathered starting from the upper address to the lower address, whereby a memory area for compressed attribute data is composed. Compressed image data is sequentially written starting from the upper address to the lower address of the memory area for compressed image data. Compressed attribute data is sequentially written starting from the upper address to the lower address of the memory area for compressed attribute data.

An FPGA functions as an activation mode setting circuit for loading activation data stored on a PROM into a circuit setting memory and setting an activation mode when activating the CPU. The FPGA outputs an activation mode setting signal to the CPU, and the CPU is activated in the set activation mode. After the CPU is activated, it follows predetermined processing steps, and performs a control operation to load the circuit setting data stored in a storage section into the circuit setting memory. Thus, the FPGA is constructed as a circuit having a desired function, and also constructed as an activation mode setting circuit when activating the CPU.

A network system for copiers includes a plurality of copiers each provided with a communication device for communicating with external equipment and a power-on device for powering on the copier in a hold state in response to an external signal received by the communication device and a main controller including an operation controller for controlling operation of the copiers and a time setter for setting time to power on a copier, the main controller being connected to the copiers by a network. The operation controller executes control such that only predetermined one of the copiers is powered on at the power-on time set by the time setter.

A copying apparatus having a prescanning function for obtaining density data to adjust copy parameters includes a correction function which eliminates the data obtained from a portion of a predetermined color, from the density data detected on a prescanning process. The density data can be restricted within a predetermined range. The predetermined range can be easily set by the user.

摘要:
In an image processing apparatus connected with a computer which is capable of executing image processing which corresponds to an image processing command, a file format which permits addition of the image processing command to image data which has been read is stored in a non-volatile memory. A CPU judges whether a determined file format is stored in the non-volatile memory, and when judging that the determined file format is stored in the non-volatile memory, the CPU permits addition of the image processing command to the read image data.
