る。(b) Prior art and problems In conventional laser printers, etc., information such as formats common to the information to be printed, such as frames and ruled lines that define the shape of the document,
Information such as company name and company emblem is written as overlay information in the same image memory in devices with image memory, and output from the character generator in devices without image memory. The text information that is displayed and the overlay information that is compressed and stored are developed using hardware and combined in real time at the video signal stage. The former has the disadvantage that overlay information with the same content must be written every time a print page changes, resulting in a decrease in processing speed, while the latter has the disadvantage that hardware control is complicated.

憶する。(e) Embodiment of the Invention FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a circuit showing an embodiment of the invention. The central processing unit 1 expands compressed overlay information given from a host device (not shown) in the image data writing circuit 2 and stores it in the cell memory 6 via the lotus 5. The cell memory 6 stores image information using the screen memory control method applied for in Japanese Patent Application No. 56-211614.

、白のみで、即ち“０”のみで“１”のない情報は１個
のセルで代表させ、メモリ容量を節約するものである。An outline of the screen memory control method will be explained. Memory is divided into multiple cells, different information is stored in each cell, and information that is only white, that is, only "0" and no "1" is represented by one cell, saving memory capacity. It is.

重畳して画像メモリ７に格納する。Therefore, this is the most suitable method for storing information such as overlay information in which white is the majority, and the capacity of the cell memory 6 may be small. Further, the central processing unit 1 analyzes the character information given from the host device, controls the character writing circuit 3, and stores the character information generated by the character generation section into the image memory 7 via the path 5. For example, when the output unit is one page, when -page worth of character information is stored in the image memory 7, the output synthesis circuit 8 sequentially reads the contents from the cell memory 6 and the image memory 7 via the bus 5 and synthesizes them. The data is sent to the output device 9, and is printed in the case of a printing device, and displayed in the case of a display device. When a figure is given from the host device, the central processing unit 1 writes it into the image memory 7 using the figure writing circuit 4. However, when it is requested to write it together with character information, it stores it in the image memory 7 in a superimposed manner. .

のオーバレイ情報も書替えすることが出来る。Although the contents of the image memory 7 are rewritten on a page-by-page basis, the overlay information t is commonly used, so the effort of rewriting can be omitted. If the overlay information is changed, the cell memory 6 is updated while writing the information to the image memory 7.
The overlay information can also be rewritten.

い。FIG. 2 is a block diagram of a circuit showing another embodiment of the invention. In this embodiment, an overlay memory IJlO, which is a normal memory, is provided in place of the cell memory 60 in FIG. 1, and since the operation is the same as that in FIG. 1, detailed explanation will be omitted. Since the overlay memory 10 is a normal memory, it has a large capacity and is less economical than the embodiment shown in FIG.
