CONSTITUTION:A video signal 211 transmitted through a duplicating mask part 193 in an image edition part 74 is inputted to one end of an OR gate 212 to be ORed with a duplicating character signal 213 inputted from a logo control part 78. A video signal 214 outputted therefrom is inputted to a main scanning trimming skip circuit 216, and therein unnecessary image information is removed. A video signal 219 outputted therefrom is inputted to a sub-scanning trimming circuit 221, and therein unnecessary image information is removed. A video signal 223 outputted therefrom is sent to a page memory 81 together with first and second clock signals 192, 224. When the data is read out, the data is subjected to a null area processing and an overlap processing and transmitted to a printing memory 83 and a CRT 13. As a result, a document can be formed legibly if it is used in a folded state because characters or the like do not exist in the vicinity of the folded line.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention "Field of Industrial Application" The present invention relates to an image processing apparatus such as a digital copying machine that has an image reading function and a recording function, and particularly relates to an image processing apparatus such as a digital copying machine that has an image reading function and a recording function. The present invention relates to an image processing apparatus for recording.

"Prior Art" Digital copying machines that edit and record images read by an image reading unit have been commercialized. Such a copying machine is equipped with, for example, a one-dimensional image sensor, a relatively large capacity memory, a laser printer, and the like. When using this copier for normal copying of original documents, the operator must:
A one-dimensional image sensor reads the original, writes it into memory, reads it out, and records it with a laser printer. When making multiple copies, the image data written in the memory can be repeatedly read out and used for recording.

Some of these digital copying machines can perform complex editing such as cutting out and moving a necessary area of image data stored in a memory, or adding new character information.

FIG. 39 shows a certain manuscript.

In the original document 401, first to third columns 403 to 405 are consecutively arranged on the upper side of the central fold line 402, and fourth to sixth columns 406 to 408 are arranged on the lower side. There is.

After deleting the second column 404 and fifth column 407 in such a manuscript 401, the remaining four columns 403, 405, 40
Assume that a document is created using 6.408.

FIG. 40 shows an example of a document created by simply deleting the second column 404 and fifth column 407 in the manuscript 401 and recording the remaining image information on recording paper. .

In this document 411, there are four fields 403, 405, 406.
．． 408 are arranged discretely and lack the appearance of a single document.

In addition, in cases such as an extract of a resident card issued by a government office,
Normally, the authentication statement is written at the end of the page, but in this case there is no space for it, and the problem arises that the authentication statement must be added to the next page.

FIG. 41 shows an example of a document from which such problems have been removed. In this document 421, the third column 40

05 movement processing is being performed. The other two columns 406.
408 is also moved upward in the figure as appropriate, and these are connected. Therefore, there is a space below the last column 408 to record the authentication statement 422 consisting of the date, long text, etc.

``Problem to be Solved by the Invention'' In this way, even with conventional image processing devices such as digital copying machines, it is difficult to perform processing such as extracting several necessary parts of a document, moving them, and connecting them to each other. was completed. This made it possible to arrange the format as a single document.

However, if you simply connect each column etc. like this,
As can be seen in FIG. 41, when this document 421 is folded in half at the position of the fold line 402, the folded part crosses a predetermined column, and this column (in this case, the fourth column 4
There is a problem in that when characters written within 06> overlap the polygonal line 402, it becomes difficult to read. Also, 2
There has been a problem in that the paper may be rubbed in the folded area, causing letters to disappear, and necessary information may be missing.

In addition, with conventional image processing devices, especially when creating a document by extracting necessary areas from multiple originals, and when adding additional information such as the above-mentioned authentication statement to the document, this There were cases where the added part could not be completely written on the first page and ended up extending to the second page.

FIG. 42 shows such an example.

The document 431 on the first page contains edited image information 43
2 occupies most of the documents, and at the end of the document 432 and the next second page, an authentication statement 422 consisting of the date, long text, etc. is recorded. Such a recording format does not comply with the issuing format of certain documents such as certificates, and is undesirable in appearance. Therefore, if such an editing result occurs, edit the authentication text 422 again.
A process was required to completely move additional information such as to the second page or a new page.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION A first object of the present invention is to provide an image processing apparatus that does not make necessary characters and figures difficult to read even when the paper after recording is folded.

A second object of the present invention is to provide an image processing apparatus that prevents the added information from spanning pages when predetermined information is added to edited image information and recorded.

"Means for Solving the Problem" The invention according to claim 1 includes: an image reading section comprising a one-dimensional image sensor or the like that reads an image; a recording paper supply means for supplying recording paper into the apparatus main body; An image information editing means for editing image information so that the image information read from the image reading unit does not exist in a predetermined width area from the position where the paper is to be folded, and an image after being edited by the image information editing means. The image processing apparatus is provided with a recording section that records information on recording paper.

When performing editing work such as moving a required area, image information exists in a portion of a predetermined width centered at the position where the recording paper is to be folded, as shown in the position of the fold line 402 shown in FIG. In order to achieve the above-mentioned objective (2),

Note that the image information editing means can prevent image information from existing in the vicinity of this folding position by identifying the folding position and starting recording the image from a position moved by a predetermined amount from this position.

Furthermore, when dividing image information into two display areas in order to fold a document, the image information can be displayed accurately by overlapping the image of the divided portion by a predetermined amount in the two display areas. Even in cases where no division is performed, characters etc. can be identified.

Note that when a sheet of recording paper is folded at only one position, the folding position is normally the center position of the paper. Therefore, in many cases, such image processing can be regarded as centering processing of image information on recording paper.

In the invention according to claim 2, an image reading section comprising a one-dimensional image sensor or the like that reads an image, a recording paper supply means for supplying recording paper into the main body of the apparatus, and an image reading section that edits the image read by the image reading section. an editing means for adding predetermined recording information after the image edited by the editing means; and recording information adding means for adding predetermined recording information after the image edited by the editing means; page separation means for making the recorded information added by the recorded information adding means the information of the next page when the determining means determines that the information is not recorded on the same page; The image processing apparatus is provided with a recording section for recording the image and the recording information added by the recording information adding means.

Then, the second objective described above is achieved by separating the pages according to the determination result of the determining means.

The apparatus is equipped with paper cassettes 16 and 17 in stages, and recording paper of a standard size can be sent into the apparatus from either of these cassettes. Further, a manual feed tray 18 is provided on the right side of the apparatus main body 15 in the figure, from which recording paper of any size can also be manually fed. After an image is recorded and fixed on the recording paper within the apparatus main body 15, it is discharged onto the discharge tray 19.

On the other hand, the originals may be set on the platen glass 21, or may be placed on the original supply tray 22 and fed out one by one to be read.

A portion of the platen glass 21 is covered by a document auxiliary cover 23. The document auxiliary cover 23 has a scale, and the document is placed on the platen glass 21 so that a portion of the document is under this cover. Then, by setting, for example, a predetermined position of the document at a desired scale position under this cover, the set position on the platen glass 21 can be finely adjusted.

A platen cover 25 is disposed on the upper part of the apparatus main body 15 where the platen glass 21 is disposed so as to be openable and closable. The platen cover 25 serves to hold down the original set on the platen glass 21.

In front of the upper part of the device body 15, a control panel 26 for local government counter operations, a general 411 operation control panel 27, and a one-touch panel 28 are arranged.

The control panel 26 for local government counter operations is a panel used when performing local government counter operations such as family register copies, resident records, seal certificates, and the like. The general operation control panel 27 is a panel for performing operations as a normal copying machine or facsimile machine. The one-touch panel 28 is a panel that can be opened and closed into several pages like a notebook, and by pressing a key arranged on this panel, an abbreviated number can be selected when transmitting a facsimile.

Such various panels 26 to 28 and platen glass 21
A document lever 29 is disposed between the document levers 29 and 29 so as to be movable along the longitudinal direction of the platen glass 21. Original lever 2

reach. Note that when recording paper is manually fed from the manual feed tray 18, both half-moon rollers 51 and 52 are not driven, and the position of the leading edge of the manually fed recording paper is regulated by the registration roller 53.

The recording paper sent out at regular timing by the registration roller 53 passes between the lower end of the drum cartridge 55 and the transfer corotron 56, and at this time, the recording paper is formed on the photoreceptor drum in this drum cartridge 55. The toner image is transferred to recording paper. For this purpose, a laser scanning unit 58 is arranged above the drum cartridge 55. That is, the laser beam emitted from the laser oscillator 59 in the laser scanning unit 58 is modulated according to image information, and after being deflected by a rotating polygon mirror 61,
Image information is written line by line at predetermined positions on the photosensitive drum to form an electrostatic latent image. This electrostatic latent image is developed by a developing device in a toner cartridge 63 disposed adjacent to the photoreceptor drum, and a toner image corresponding to the image information is created. This toner image is transferred onto the recording paper by the electrostatic action of the transfer corotron 56.

The recording paper onto which the toner image has been transferred is still conveyed along the conveyance path indicated by the broken line, and the toner image is fixed thereon when it passes through a fixing section consisting of a heat roll 64. Then, it will be discharged onto the discharge tray 19. At this time, authenticator 3
Step 3 stamps the recording paper at a predetermined position as necessary.

There is an indication that this will not be done.

Further, on the right side of these displays, copy density is displayed. Therefore, the operator can set a desired value for the copy density using the function selection button 169 (see FIG. 7) that directly corresponds to the display of the copy density (step 2 in FIG. 8).

The operator can similarly set each function as necessary (step ■). For example, the initial setting on the LCD display indicates that halftone processing will not be performed, but if you decide that it is better to scan the document in halftones, press the halftone/transmission mode button 16.
4 Press (Fig. 7) to change the function to reproduce halftones. Furthermore, although it is currently set to perform the copying operation at 100% (same size), the document can be enlarged or reduced by operating the enlargement/reduction/advanced function button 163.

FIG. 10 shows the contents displayed on the liquid crystal display when the enlargement/reduction/applied function button is pressed, focusing on the flow of operations performed by the operator. The liquid crystal display 151 displays the words "Please select" and "100%" as the currently set magnification. Furthermore, below that, the words "arbitrary magnification" are displayed in correspondence with the function selection button 168, and the words "dedicated magnification" are displayed in correspondence with the other function selection button 169. The operator presses the function selection button 168 when selecting "arbitrary magnification" and presses the function selection button 169 when selecting "dedicated magnification".

If you select the former, either enter the reduction ratio numerically using the numeric keypad button 171, or press the two function selection buttons 167.16.
While selectively pressing 8, move the reduction ratio in the reduction or enlargement direction to set the desired reduction ratio. When the latter "dedicated magnification" is selected, a pre-registered dedicated magnification is displayed on the liquid crystal display 151 and is set to this value.

Returning to FIG. 8, the explanation will be continued.

When the operator completes the above operations (steps
>, place the original on the platen glass 21 (see Figure 2) (step 0).At this time, set the original so that it aligns with the back left corner of the platen glass 21.Next, the operator presses the numeric keypad 171 (see Figure 2). 7) to set the number of copies (step 0).The maximum number of copies is 9.
Up to 9 sheets can be set. The set number of copies is displayed on a part of the liquid crystal display 151. If you make a mistake in entering the number of copies, the stop/
The contents are cleared by pressing the clear button 173 (FIG. 7), and the correct number of sheets is manually input again using the numeric keypad button 171.

FIG. 11 shows an example of what is displayed on the liquid crystal display at the time when the above operations are completed. On the liquid crystal display 151, the words "Certificate can be issued" and necessary information such as the reduction ratio and the number of copies are displayed.

When the operator presses the start button 172 in this state (step 0), reading of the original is started. The scanned original is subjected to predetermined image processing for creating a family register copy, and is ejected from the device main body 15 (see Figure 2) onto the output tray 19. At this time, the authenticator 33 operates at a predetermined timing. stamps at designated locations on the recording paper.

This completes the creation of the family register (step ■).

FIG. 12, an example of document sending, shows an outline of general operations when the communication mode of this image processing apparatus is selected.

First, the operator operates the copy/communication button 158 shown in FIG. 7 to set the image processing apparatus to communication mode (step in FIG. 12). Then, the business button 12

FIG. 13 shows an example of what is displayed on the liquid crystal display when specifying this reduction ratio. When the operator presses the function selection button 167, the magnification can be specified, and when the operator presses the function selection button 168 next to this, it is possible to change the specification of the halftone. Rightmost function selection button 16
Pressing 9 allows you to change the density. When the operator presses the function selection button 167, the magnification can be designated as a dedicated magnification or an arbitrary magnification as described above.

The operator selects halftones as necessary (step ■).

FIG. 14 shows an example of what is displayed on the liquid crystal display when a halftone is selected by pressing the function selection button. On the liquid crystal display 151, two characters "Yes" and "No" are displayed in the halftone writing area.
By pressing the function selection button 168, a triangular cursor moves from one side to the other. When the cursor selects "Yes" as shown in the figure, halftones are reproduced using the dither method, and when "No" is selected, simple binarization is performed.

Returning to FIG. 12, the explanation will be continued.

After performing the above operations, the operator selects the concentration as necessary (step ■). Then, the original is set on the platen glass 21 (step ■), and the dial of the other party is performed (step ■).

Dial methods include one-touch dialing and speed dialing. When the one-touch button on the one-touch panel 28 is pressed, the destination name registered in advance is displayed on the liquid crystal display 151. When using speed dial, press the speed dial button 176 and enter a three-digit number. In this case, the corresponding destination name is displayed on the liquid crystal display 151. If the destination name is not registered, the phone number will be displayed.

After dialing the other party in this way, the start button 172 is pressed (step ■) and reading of the original begins.The image of the read original can be checked by printing it out. (Step ■)
. It is also possible to confirm by displaying it on a CRT.

Note that you can skip the confirmation print and proceed with the work.

FIG. 15 shows an example of the content displayed on the liquid crystal display when selecting whether or not to confirm the print.

The liquid crystal display 151 displays the option of whether or not to print a confirmation print, and the function selection button 167
When the button 168 is pressed, the confirmation print is set to be performed, and when the other function selection button 168 is pressed, the WlaU print is made unnecessary.

When performing a confirmation print, pressing the start button 172 starts the confirmation print.

FIG. 16 shows an example of the content displayed on the liquid crystal display when processing is performed on the image of the read original. The characters "accumulation" and "confirmation NG" are displayed on the liquid crystal display 151, and one of these is selected using two function selection buttons 167 and 168.When the characters "accumulation" are selected, If so, an image of the document is stored (step 0). If "Confirmation NG" is selected, the document is read again.

After this, set the number of copies as necessary (Step ■)

Details of Image Processing FIG. 18 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the image processing section in such an image processing apparatus. In this figure, the same parts as in FIG. 1 are given the same reference numerals.

In FIG. 18, a document 93 is read line by line by a CCD 94, and a video signal processing unit 89 performs A/D conversion, shading correction, and MTF (modulation).
Transfer function) processing, scaling processing, and gradation processing using the dither method are performed. The video signal processing section 89 outputs the video signal 191 and the first clock signal 192 processed in this way, and supplies them to the image editing B74. Here the first clock signal 19
2 is a signal for transferring the video signal 191 output from the CCD 94.

FIG. 19 shows an example of the original used in this embodiment. In this example, the manuscript 93 is the original of the resident's card. The original of the resident record used in this example consists of the basic column 202, the first column 203, and the second@204 arranged above the polygonal line 201 in the center, and the third column 205 arranged below. It is composed of a fifth column 207. Here, common items such as the name and address of the head of the household are written in the basic column 202. In the first column 203, predetermined items such as the name and domicile of the head of the household are written. From the second column 204 onward, predetermined items such as the names and addresses of other members of this household are written. In this example, one page of the original resident's card is shown, but if one household consists of six or more people, there are additional pages.

Returning to FIG. 18, the explanation will be continued.

The image editing section 74 includes a mimeograph mask section 193.

The mimeograph mask section 193 uses the editing instruction signal 77 from the console panel control section 71 to mask the video signal 191 manually input to the image editing section 74 line by line, and extracts necessary image information. do.

FIG. 20 shows an example of the state of the image when the original shown in FIG. 19 is input into the copying section. As indicated by diagonal lines, the basic column 202 to the fifth column 207
up to and including each are extracted individually based on their respective coordinate data. Notes may be written in the manuscript 93 outside of these columns 202 to 207, but this information that is unnecessary in the process of creating a certified copy or extract of the resident record will be deleted during the extraction process. That will happen.

FIG. 21 shows a state in which the video signal shown in FIG. 20 is masked by a mimeograph mask section. A white portion 208 is a masked portion. As described above, such masks are applied to portions that are omitted from display for reasons such as personal privacy protection.

The video signal 211 that has passed through the mimeograph mask section 193 is input to one end of an OR circuit 212, and is ORed with the mimeograph character signal 213 that is input from the logo control section 78. This mimeograph character signal 213 is a signal read out from the logo memory 79 based on a signal supplied from the console panel 71 to the logo control unit 78 via the image editing unit 74, and
The clock signal 192 is output in synchronization with the clock signal 192. Logo memory 79 has a capacity of 8 Mbytes in this embodiment.

FIG. 22 shows the state of the image based on the video signal after the OR circuit has taken the logical sum.

In the white portion 208 in FIG. 21, characters for annotation such as "omitted" are inserted as necessary. This second
In Figure 2, these characters (logos) are represented by symbols “**” and “#”.
It is indicated by "#" or "$$". This video signal 214 output from the OR circuit 212 is input to a main scanning trimming/skipping circuit 216 . The main scanning trimming/skipping circuit 216 performs trimming for each line, that is, in the main scanning direction of the image, and removes unnecessary image information by skipping this trimming operation.

FIG. 23 shows the state of the image based on the video signal obtained in this way. It can be seen that both ends of the image including the two ruled lines 217 and 218 shown in FIG. 22 have been trimmed.

This video signal 219 output from the main scanning trimming/skip circuit 216 is transmitted to the sub-scanning trimming circuit 221.
is input. The sub-scanning trimming circuit 221 performs trimming of the image in the sub-scanning direction to remove unnecessary images in the sub-scanning direction.

FIG. 24 shows the state of an image in an example when trimming in the sub-scanning direction is performed. In this example, the first column 203 and fourth column 206 in FIG. 20 have been removed. That is, in this example, image information about columns other than these columns is removed on the premise that a resident record is created by extracting the second, third, and fifth columns 204, 205, and 207.

This video signal 223 output from the sub-scanning trimming circuit 221 is sent to the page memory 81 together with the first clock signal 192 and the second clock signal 224. Here, the first clock signal 192 is the page memory 81
The second clock signal 224 is the clock used to read the video signal 225 from the page memory 81. In this embodiment, the page memory 81 has a size of 3M bytes. It has a capacity of Video signal 2 for this page memory 81
When writing 23, if the counting of addresses for that part is stopped at a part where there is a blank space in the sub-scanning direction, the read image information can be moved in the sub-scanning direction and unnecessary blank parts can be removed.

FIG. 25 shows an example of the state of an image written by performing such address operations in the page memory. As can be seen by comparing with FIG. 24, there is a blank between the basic column 202 and the second column 204, a blank between the second column 204 and the third column 205, and a blank between the third column 205 and the fifth column 2.
The spaces between 07 and 07 are removed respectively to create the required four columns 2
02.204.205.207 are arranged consecutively.

The video signal 225 output from the page memory 81 is input to one input terminal of the OR circuit 226, and the character data 227 consisting of the title, certification text, date, and elder is manually input from the logo control section 78 to the other input terminal. Ru. At this time, the stored contents are not sequentially read from the page memory 81, but offset processing in both the main scanning direction and the sub-scanning direction is performed by controlling the reading timing. That is, the image information shown in FIG. 25 is stored at an appropriate location in the page memory 81, but it is
Positioning control is performed so that these are set at desired positions when printing in (Fig.). Also, the first
In the document 93 shown in Figure 9, the image is not covered by the center fold line 201, but in this example as well, a blank space is set between a given column and the next column (centering).
Similar processing can be performed with . Such a video signal 229 output from the OR circuit 226 is output from the CRT 1
The data is written into a video RAM (display memory) and a print memory 83 (not shown) for the 3rd model, and developed as an image.

FIG. 26 shows the contents of such a final image after offset processing and character writing. In the upper margin of the basic column 202, a title 231 titled "Residence Record" is displayed in a frame. Further, a blank area is set between the third column 205 and the fifth column 207 in consideration of wrapping. Further, in a relatively wide area below the fifth column 207, the certification statement, date, and elder such as head of the cloth are displayed.

The content shown in Figure 26 is displayed on the CRT13, so you can check the content without having to print it out on the 10T85, and if you make a mistake in editing, you can redo the work. .

Centering Process In the image processing apparatus whose outline has been explained above, data called ID data is inputted into the apparatus in advance according to the business to be handled.

The contents of ID data usually differ in detail for each user.

FIG. 27 shows an example of ID data.

The "business" in this ID data 251 has the same meaning as the "business" in the local government counter business control panel 26 shown in FIG.
It is divided into two items. There are 8 forms for each of these items.
One can be set. These correspond to the eight style buttons 136 in FIG. The items to be entered manually for each format are "input basics", "output basics", "reading coordinates" and "others".

"Basic human power" refers to various conditions when reading a document, such as density, gradation, and magnification. "Basic output" refers to three points on the recording paper, point A, point B, and point 6, which will be explained next, and the position where an authentication statement is inserted. In this embodiment, a case will be explained in which an extract of a resident's card is created.

FIG. 28 is for explaining three points, point A, point B, and point 6 on the recording paper.

It is assumed that recording is performed while the recording paper 261 is being conveyed in the direction of an arrow 262 in FIG. Then, there is a position 263 exactly at the midpoint of the length of the recording paper 261 in the transport direction.
Assume that is the point where this paper is folded. Point A refers to the coordinates (X, Y) of the leading edge position of the edited image information 264 on the recording paper 261 that is scanned. Point B is a point slightly closer to point A than the midpoint position 263, and if edited image information exists at this point, centering processing in this embodiment is required.

6 points are for recording paper 261 when performing centering processing.
The coordinates (X
, Y).

In addition, in the example shown in FIG. 28, from point A to recording paper 2
If recording is started at 61 and three columns, the basic column 202, the first column 204, and the fourth column 206, are recorded in succession, the fourth column 206 will be placed at point B. Therefore, centering processing is performed to avoid this.

As a result, the basic column 202 and the first column 204 are at the midpoint position 2.
63, and the fourth column 206 will be recorded starting from 6 points. The authentication statement 266 is in this fourth column 206
It will be placed after.

Returning to FIG. 27, the explanation will be continued. "Reading coordinates" are
It refers to the coordinates that define the area of each column from the basic column to the seventh column, which exist for each document such as a residence card. FIG. 29 shows this relationship.

That is, for the basic column 202, the two end points (xly, >
And (X2, Y2) is it. 1st column 20
Similarly for 3 and subsequent columns, the coordinates of the points at both ends of the diagonal line specifying those columns are (X+, Yl) and (X2
, Y2).

The "Others" item in the ID data 251 is for inputting the amount of overlap during centering, etc.

FIG. 30 is for explaining the concept of overlap amount. Overlamp amount X is one recording paper 261
When setting an area in which no image information is recorded over a predetermined width centered around the midpoint position 263 of , it refers to the amount by which images overlap each other at the "cutting edge" portion of the image information divided into two. In the example shown in FIG. 30, the image should be recorded continuously in the second column 204 and fourth column 206, but since the middle point 263 has been reached, it is necessary to record these separately. I have to. At this time, the fourth column 20 is located at the rear end of the second column 204.
The image information from the tip of 6 to the distance X is continuously recorded, and the rear edge of the second column is continuously recorded for the distance X at the tip position of the fourth column 206.

Since the overlapping areas are provided for recording in this manner, even when image information is divided and displayed on one sheet of recording paper 261, it is possible to give an impression of mutual continuity. Furthermore, when combining the image information recorded on the recording paper 261 as one continuous piece of information, cutting and pasting is easy. Furthermore, even if characters or figures extend into adjacent fields, as long as these fields are edited consecutively, even if they are separated by centering processing after editing, the recognition of these characters or shapes will not be possible. becomes easier.

FIG. 31 specifically shows the main part of the circuit portion that performs the centering process outlined above. Second
The coordinate data of the six points explained in FIG.
The data is transferred via the CPU bus 271 (see FIG. 1) and set in the address generation counter 272. Here, in the address generation counter 272,
Line clock signal 2 excluding the page synchronization signal 224A of the second clock signal 224 (see FIG. 18)
24B and a video clock signal 224C. The line clock signal 224B is a signal that is generated in synchronization with each line of the image, and the video clock signal 224B is a signal that is generated in synchronization with each line of the image.
C is an image transfer lock. Further, the page synchronization signal 224A is a signal generated in synchronization with the processing of the document page by page.

Line clock signal 224B and video clock signal 224C are supplied to first address enable counter 273.
and second address enable counter 274. Further, the page synchronization signal 224A is supplied to the reset terminal R of the page memory 81 and the enable terminals E of the first address enable counter 273 and the second address enable counter 274. Here, the first address enable counter 273 is a counter that sets the last position of the first half of the image when centering processing is performed. Further, the second address enable counter 274 is a counter that sets six points.

These two address enable counters 273.2
The output signals 276 and 277 outputted from 74 are input to an OR circuit 278 and logical sum is taken, and the logical output 27
9 is the enable terminal E of the address generation counter 272
is being supplied to.

FIG. 32 shows the waveforms of the above three signals. To explain this in conjunction with FIG. 30, the output signal 276 shown in FIG.
This is the signal that becomes the level. The output signal 277 shown in FIG. 32 is a signal that becomes H level corresponding to the portion corresponding to the last distance X in the second column 204 and the fourth column 206. Therefore, the address generation counter 272 is enabled during the period in which either of these surface output signals 276 and 277 is at the H level, as shown in FIG. 32C.

In FIG. 31, the address generation counter 272 is a counter that supplies address information for reading the image signal 282 to the page memory 81 via the address bus 281. This address information is sequentially counted and amplified in the section where the output signal 276 is at H level in FIG. After that, it is necessary to perform count amplification sequentially.

This is why it was decided to set the coordinate data of six points in the address generation counter 272 by the CPU hash 271.

The state of control of these counters will be explained using FIG. 33 and FIG. 34.

Of these, Figure 33 shows the CP of the control panel control section.
This shows the control of U. When the operator presses the start button 172 on the general operation control panel 27 shown in FIG. 2, the CPU in the control panel control section 71 detects this (step ■; Y in FIG. 33).
At this point, the key information of the general operation control panel 27 and the local government counter business control panel 26 is analyzed (Step 2), and the corresponding ID data 251 explained in FIG. 27 is sent to the image editing section 74. (Step ■).

FIG. 34 shows the control of the image editing section based on this. After receiving the corresponding ID data 251, the image editing section 74 stores the X coordinate of point A and the first +
! and the X coordinate of fit (basic Ii) (Step 3 in FIG. 34). Then, it is determined whether this value exceeds the value of the X coordinate of point B (step ■). If it does not exceed the limit, there is a possibility that the next column can be edited by connecting it to the first column, so determine whether there is a next column to edit or not. The X coordinate of point B is added to the previous added value (step 2).Then, it is checked whether this added value exceeds the value of the X coordinate of point B (step 2).

In this way, the determination and addition operations are repeated (Steps 1 to 2), and if there are no more columns to be added before the added value exceeds the value of the X coordinate of point B (Step 2; N), the process is terminated. On the other hand, if the added value exceeds the X coordinate value of point B in step ■ (Y), the last column added is about to be folded, so the column up to the previous column is The sum of the added value of the X coordinate and the value X set as the amount of overlap is added to the first address enable counter 273 (step 2). Then, the X coordinates of the six points in the data sent as the ID data 251 are set in the second address enable counter 274 (step 2).

In this way, two address enable counters 2
When the value is set to 73.274, the image editing section 74 monitors the point in time when the first address enable counter 273 finishes counting up (step (2)). This point is when the output signal 276 in FIG. 32a falls from the H level. At this point, the CPU of the image editing section 74 inputs 2 of the overlap amount X to the address generation counter 272 via the CPU bus 271 (see FIG. 31).
Set the value returned by the address value equivalent to double (step ■). As a result, the second half of the image is stored in the page memory 81 starting from the front part by the amount of overlap X.

FIG. 35 shows the timing of writing image information into the page memory and reading after writing.

A to C in the same figure are the first write cycles used in the write cycle for writing image information to the page memory (see Figure 31).
The clock signal 192 of FIG. These clock signals 192 are a page synchronization signal 192A shown in FIG.
, a line clock signal 192B, and a video clock signal 192C. These are page memory 8
Page synchronization signal 224 used in one read cycle
A (FIG. 35d), line clock signal 224B (FIG. 35e), and video clock signal 224c (FIG. 35f).

First, in the write cycle of the page memory 81, a page synchronization signal 192A is generated, and after that, lines are synchronized by a line clock signal 192B that is output for each line, and each pixel is synchronized with a video clock signal 192C. Image signals are stored in corresponding memory areas.

When one page of the original has been written in this way, the page memory 81 is switched to the read cycle. In this read cycle, the line clock signal 224B is output for each line in synchronization with the page synchronization signal 224A, and the image signal 282 (see Fig. 31) is read out pixel by pixel in synchronization with the video clock signal 224C. go.

At this time, as shown in the 35th [ff1g, the logic output 27
9 (see FIG. 31) temporarily changes from H level to L (low) level, the address generation counter 272 shown in FIG. 31 generates an address twice the overlap lx. The data will be returned and the overlap will be processed.

Through the image processing described above, the image information of the document stored in the page memory 81 is subjected to blank area processing for centering and overlap processing when read out.
As explained in FIG. 18, the print memory 83 and CR
It will be sent to both sides of T13.

Processing of additional information As shown in Figure 5, resident records and various certification documents include:
HE K in the form of adding 11 to all or part of the information in the original document
TE statements and stamps are affixed. As explained in FIG. 42, it is often not desirable for such additional recorded information (hereinafter referred to as additional information) to be recorded across pages. Therefore, in this image processing apparatus,
When additional information may be recorded across pages, it is recorded independently on the next page.

FIG. 36 corresponds to FIG. 28 and shows the principle of processing this additional information. In FIG. 28, in order to simplify the explanation, point B in the ID data 251 is described as only one point. However, when the recording paper is, for example, 84 size, there are two points: 81, which is placed near the end of 85 size, and 82, which is placed near the end of 84 size. That is, in the image processing apparatus of this embodiment, the trailing edge of the image information 301 starting from point A is adjusted so as not to exceed 83 points, and the trailing edge of image information 302 starting from point C is adjusted so that it does not exceed 83 points.
The trailing edge is adjusted so that it does not exceed the point.

In this embodiment, the image information 301 and 302 referred to here are processed in units of columns, and the area in which additional information is displayed is also treated as one "column".

FIG. 37 shows the processing when a normal column such as the basic column or the first column is applied to point B2. If the Nth column 302-N in the image information 302 falls on point B2, the (N-1) column up to the (N-1)th column 302-N is moved to the Record on page 1 of recording paper 261-1, and write in the Nth column 30.
2-N will perform recording from point A on the next page of recording paper 261-2. At this time, for example, the Nth column 302
- ID that additional information 303 is placed immediately after N
In the case indicated by data 251, recording will be performed in the arrangement shown in FIG. 37.

In contrast, FIG. 38 shows processing when additional information straddles pages.

Since the additional information 303 exists at point 82, the columns up to the Nth column 302-N as the column immediately before that are recorded on the recording sheet 261-1 of the first page. Recording is performed on two pages of recording paper 261-2.

Processing of such additional information can be performed by the same control as shown in FIGS. 33 and 34, so detailed explanation thereof will be omitted.

Note that whether or not to set the overlamp amount at the trailing edge of the recording paper 261 or the leading edge of the next page may be determined depending on the characteristics of each document. In addition, in the embodiment, processing was performed to prevent additional information from spanning two pages for documents that were subjected to centering processing, but even if the centering processing is not required for documents that will not be folded, , it goes without saying that similar processing is possible for additional information. In addition, in the example, the explanation was made assuming that the paper is folded at the center position of the recording paper, but if the paper is folded at multiple locations, processing to exclude image information at each location is necessary. Naturally, this is likewise possible with the present invention.

"Effects of the Invention" As described in detail above, according to the invention as claimed in claim 1, the image information read from the image reading unit is not present in a predetermined width area from the position where the recording paper is to be folded. Since we decided to edit the information, even if the recording paper is folded and used or cut, there are no characters that can be used as a reference for reading near the position where the paper is processed, so it will be difficult to read. This has the effect of making it possible to create easy-to-use documents.

Further, according to the invention as claimed in claim 2, since the pages are separated so that the additional information does not span two pages, it is possible to create a document in an attractive manner.
