Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to data imprinting, and more particularly to a data imprinting device including a photographing device and a data setting device separate from the photographing device.

Conventionally, when setting the imprint data when imprinting data, a separate data setting device built into the light source unit was used, which was cumbersome and difficult to operate. There were drawbacks. As an improvement on this, for example, Japanese Patent Application No. 54-172005
As disclosed in , is there a key for imaging devices such as endoscope cameras? A data imprinting device has been proposed which is configured to include another data setting section such as a card, etc., so that a main operator such as a doctor can set imprint data at hand.

However, in such a device, data is transferred from the endoscope camera to the light source unit [7. The conventional camera has a drawback in that it cannot monitor the imprint data from the data setting device on the light source unit side, which is set by an auxiliary operator such as a nurse. Therefore, the main operator who handles the endoscope and endoscope camera has to check the setting data displayed on the display of the light source unit each time to check the data, which is troublesome. Further, according to the data imprinting device described above, data set by the data setting device built into the endoscope camera and the light source unit cannot be imprinted simultaneously on the camera side.
