An image processing system integrates the scanning function with image processing function. The scanned image can be directly transmitted to a printer for high quality reproduction to serve a “scan to print” function. The system can also transmit the scanned image with or without being processed to a computer for further processing. The output from the computer can be transformed into image for rapid printout.
