Instead, input information A and C ``in succession'', place cursor M (PI) between information A and information C, and move input information C downward by the insertion line. In this way, the text of one composite image is displayed on the display surface 2 of the display device 21.
1a. This editing text is convenient for image recording because it allows you to know the composite image in advance, but when it comes to specifying the position of manuscript information, there is no difference between the position of the cursor displayed on the text and the actual manuscript position specification work. There is no relation, that is, in order to specify the position of manuscript information in a conventional information composite recording device, the number of lines printed as the space corresponding to the manuscript to be inserted regardless of the cursor position of the text for F4 collection Position designation sliders SL1, S at the boundary of the document information assumed by calculating the interval.
The method used was to manually configure L2.

Therefore, the present invention associates the editing text with the actual document position designation work, and specifically provides a display means along at least one edge of the document placement surface of the document@placement table, and also provides an area for setting the editing area of the document. By displaying the display on the display means based on a setting signal from the setting means, it is possible to reliably and easily designate and display the edit position of a desired area of the document when editing the document information.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4.

In the present invention, as shown in FIG. 3, a document position indicator 23 is provided along the edge of the document table 2 of the recording apparatus 1 in the original fA operation direction. The document position indicator 23 is configured by arranging display elements such as a large number of light emitting diodes or liquid crystal display segments, and each display element emits light independently or changes its reflection or transmittance to provide visual information. It is configured to display The number of display elements constituting the PBX document position display 23 is preferably equal to the number n of lines of information displayed on the display surface 21a of the editing display device 921. FIG. 4 shows a drive circuit for the document position indicator 23, and it is assumed that the indicator 23 is composed of n light emitting elements. When the operator operates the keyboard 22 to input recorded information (for example, information A), this information is displayed on the CRT.
The data is displayed on the display surface 21a of the display device 21, encoded by the encoder 21b, and sent to the microcomputer controller lOO built in the recording device 1 via the data bus 24 via the input/output communication interface (USART) 21c. In the microcomputer controller 100, input information is transmitted through an input/output communication interface (USAR).

In this flowchart, "cursor l" means the cursor at the insertion start position of document information B, "cursor 2" means the cursor at the insertion end position of document information B, rLFJ means line feed, and rCRJ means carriage return, respectively, on the keyboard 22. means the operation of

The light emitting element is the display surface 21a of the CRT display device 21.
The light will continue to emit light as long as the editing text is displayed. Thereafter, when the operator operates the keyboard 22 again to input external information C, an editing text for the composite image of information A, B, and C is created. In this way, it is only necessary to place the image original to be composited between the original insertion positions indicated by the light emission on the display 23 provided on the side edge of the original table 2 of the recording device, so the work of specifying the original position is extremely easy. become. If original 1 (original 4) is larger than the original insertion position displayed in this way, only the information between the two specified positions of the original information will be treated as original information B and external information A and C. It will be combined.

In the above embodiment, the document insertion position is displayed by light emission from two light emitting elements, but instead of displaying only the boundary of the document insertion position in this way, M'! i4 All the light-emitting elements corresponding to the insertion position may emit light to display a continuous bar shape.Also, the boundary between external information A and external information C at the original insertion position can be set by the operator on the side edge of the original table. Various position specifying means (area setting means) such as the provided position specifying slider SL2 and numeric keypad may be manually set.
In this case, change the position of slider SL2 to an electric signal and
It is convenient to transmit it to the RT display device 21 and display it as a cursor on the display surface 21a. Text) W collection l! ; Since the cursor M displayed on the tcRT display device also moves in the X direction, that is, in the horizontal direction of the display surface 21a, a display device is also provided in the width direction of the manuscript table, and the cursor position on the editing text is set on that display device. You can also display the correspondence. In this case, the position indicated by the luminescent light on the display is the position where unnecessary portions on the original stack in the X direction (FIGS. 2 and 3) should be covered or masked, making the masking work easier.

As described above, according to the present invention, editing positions such as the reading position (reading area) and masking position of the original can be displayed in an easy-to-understand manner directly on the stacking table. In this embodiment, the cursor is moved to two positions Ml and M2.
Although an example has been described in which the number of cursors is 1, the number of cursors used in the present invention is not limited to 2 (not limited to PJ, but 3 or more may be used).
