Abstract

PURPOSE:To enable optical synthesis and copying of plural originals by controlling optical shutters which are respectively provided in optical paths of plural optical scanning systems and control changeably the ranges where light passes. CONSTITUTION:An assigning part 56 for copying regions is preliminarily operated and the editing data in which the regions except the region 11a and region 12a are taken as image regions with respect to originals 11, 12 is stored in a RAM55 if it is desired to synthesize the image by imprinting the image in the specific region 12a of the original 12 in the specific region 11a of the original 11. Conduction of electricity to liquid crystal shutters 38, 48 is controlled according to the image edition of the RAM55 so that the shutter 38 is fully opened to allow passage of the reflected light until the same arrives at the region 11a and that the shutter closes the width of the region 11a to shield the reflected light in the moving period of the region 11a in the stage when copying is executed. The shutter 48 is fully closed until the shutter arrives at the region 12a and the shutter opens the width of the region 12a to allow passage of the reflected light during the passage period of the region 12a. The original images past the shutters 38, 48 are thus combined and formed on a photosensitive drum.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention is directed to an image editing device that enables composite copying of a plurality of original JG'i in a copying machine.

(Prior art) In general, copying machines such as Ken 1 Rai 2 have 11
91 Do you want to copy the image of the written manuscript as is? 1! Ige'
Although it only has a function that allows for easy enlargement and reduction, for example, it is possible to delete a part of a manuscript and imprint a part of another manuscript here. In this case, the method of cutting out each manuscript and stitching them together is a hassle for those who find it difficult to do the work. However, it is desirable that the copying machine itself has compositing and editing functions.

A device that meets such demands uses an image sensor J3, a microcomputer, etc., and reads multiple types of optically scanned original images with the image sensor, and converts these original images (once stored in memory). After that, the synthesis and editing process is performed in the microconvenience store computer. In addition to requiring a large amount of memory, it also had disadvantages such as extremely complicated control for editing processing.

(Objective 1 of the Invention) In view of the above circumstances, the present invention is capable of combining and editing multiple types of original images and copying them by operating a switch or the like.
It is an image editing device that can perform photocopying automatically according to the commands given, and can perform optical processing in a relatively simple 44M and can quickly perform composition and editing. It provides the following.

(Description of the Invention) The image editing apparatus for copying (131) of the present invention is an image editing apparatus for copying (131) originals if "7DI+j)"? , /J: A plurality of optics placed in the same area of the same f-receiving quadrant of the photoreceptor drum, etc. The scanning system and the light path of each optical scanning system are
During the operation of each optical scanning system, each optical scanning system receives a signal specifying the copying area of each original (Ω). We have installed a control device that controls the 1-signature shutter so as to adjust the amount of light passing through the IICIC.

(Example) Figures 1 and 2 are copies (schematically showing the main parts of the book).

In these figures, J3, 1 constitutes the document placement surface +I+1] and glass 1, and two types of originals 11 and 12 are placed in parallel on this -J container 1 and glass 1. Numerals 1 and 2 are photosensitive drums serving as an image receiving section, and are driven to rotate in four directions indicated by arrows X by a drum driving device (not shown). Along with this rotation, each optical scanning system 3, which will be described later, is applied to the surface of the photosensitive drum 2 charged by the main charging section 21.
4, an Ilr original image is irradiated to form an electrostatic latent image, and then 1 hener is supplied and developed in the developing section 22. After that, a3 for transfer'q and each charging section 23.2/ for separation are applied. Transfer to the transfer paper 25 and separation of the transfer paper 25 are performed at I, and J is turned. Note that -1- Transfer paper 25 is supplied from a paper feeder (not shown), and each charging unit 2 for transfer J3 and separation
