Then, by repeating the data reading of 1 bit in the vertical direction 16 times, the character data for all 20 characters written in the shift register 67 is read out from the character generator 63 via the data selector 60. .

Next, the operation of the above embodiment will be explained. When reading information such as text and images recorded on a document, first turn off the power and
Switch the read/print switch 4 from the ``power off'' position to the ``reader off'' position. When the power/read/print selector switch 4 is switched to the "read" position, the power is turned on and each circuit section becomes operational. Also, at this time, the control unit 51 controls the LED 111 and the LED 8 in the LED unit 50.
is turned on to indicate that the power is turned on, and an operation command R is given to the timing signal generator fgS52. In this state, the user brings the reading section 2 formed in the head section HA into contact with the desired reading surface of the original [8] as shown in FIG. 2(b), and presses the operation keys 5a and 5b. while moving the handy copy machine main body 1 toward the front on the operation key 5a side. At this time, the projected light from the light source 11 is irradiated onto the original 8 surface through the reading window 12 provided on the slope portion 1a, and the reflected light is incident on the one-dimensional image sensor 15 via the light guide 13 and lens 14. On the other hand, as the handy copy machine body 1 moves, the rubber rollers 25a, 25
b rotates in contact with the 8th surface of the original, and the rotation is caused by the gear 26.2.
1 to the gear 28. And this gear 2
8, the encoder disk 34 rotates at a speed proportional to the moving speed of the handy copy machine main body 1. As the encoder disk 34 rotates, the light sent from the LED 36 to the photosensor 37 via the slit 35 is controlled intermittently, and the photosensor 37 outputs a pulse signal. The pulse signal outputted from this photosensor 37 becomes the output of the encoder 39 in FIG. sent to.

On the other hand, when the timing signal generation section 52 receives the operation command R from the control section 51, it generates a CCD exposure timing signal of a constant period and supplies it to the -dimensional image sensor 15. Accordingly, a read timing signal a and a serial/parallel conversion signal S are generated and outputted to the A/D converter 57 and the serial/parallel converter 58, respectively. Furthermore, the timing signal generator 52 generates a clock pulse C in synchronization with the serial/parallel conversion signal S, and outputs a clock pulse C to the address counter 6.
Output to 1.

Thus, the -dimensional image sensor 15 outputs a signal corresponding to the reflected light from the original IB surface, that is, an image signal, from the timing signal generating section 52 in synchronization with the CCD exposure timing signal. The output signal of this -dimensional image sensor 15 is amplified by an amplifier 56 and sent to an A/D converter 57. The A/D converter 57 converts the image signal sent via the amplifier 56 into a serial digital signal in synchronization with the read timing signal a from the timing signal generator 52, and converts the image signal sent via the amplifier 56 into a serial digital signal. Output to. This serial/parallel converter 58
synchronizes with the serial/parallel conversion signal sent from the timing signal generator 52, converts the serial input signal into parallel image data, for example every 8 bits, and sends it to the image data memory 59. The address of this image data memory 59 is specified via the address selector 62, but at this time, the address selector 62
It is switched to the address counter 61 side by a select signal e from . Therefore, the address of the image data memory 59 is specified by the count output of the address counter 61.

The address counter 61 includes a timing signal generator 5
The digit address is changed sequentially by clock pulse C from 2 to ``+''.
1'' and specifies the address of the image data memory 59. When one line of image data is written into the one-image data memory 59, the timing signal generator 52 stops generating timing signals and waits until the next movement detection signal is sent from the encoder 39. state. Thereafter, similar operations are repeated, and the image data read from document B is sequentially written into image data memory 59.

Here, if you want to attach a message such as the date of copying or a heading to the above read image data, for example,
Using the numeric keypad and alphabet keys of the key manual section 10a in FIG.
Create within characters.

At this time, the key manually created character information is displayed and output on the display section 10b. Here, for example, if the key manually created character information is r86-10-25WEEKLYN I PP0NJ consisting of exactly 20 characters,
Then, when the EXE key EXE in the key input section 10a is operated, the individual character codes (1
The character 8bit) is written into the shift register 67. That is, as a result, the image data memory 59 stores the image data on the document B read by moving the copier main body 1, and the 160-bit shift register 67 stores character information from 20 characters for the read image. It will have been written.

Next, print the image data read from document B as described above together with the key manually created character information.
The operation when going out will be explained. When printing out image data, the power/read/print changeover switch 4 is switched to the print position. By switching the power supply/read/print changeover switch 4, the print mode is set, and the control section 51 outputs the operation command P, and also switches the address selector 62 to the control section 51 side in advance by the select signal e. In this state, the user brings the printing section 3 of the head section HA into contact with the printing paper A, as shown in FIG. 1, and moves the handy copier main body 1 in the direction of the arrow X shown while pressing the operation keys 5a and 5b. As the handy copy bridge body 1 moves, the rubber roller 25a
, 25b rotate, and the rotation is transmitted to gear 28 via gears 26, 27. As the gear 28 rotates, the encoder disk 34 rotates, and a movement amount detection signal is extracted from the photosensor 37 in accordance with the movement speed of the handy copy machine main body 1, as in the above-mentioned reading.

Further, the rotation of the gear 28 is transmitted to the constant feed roller 23 via the one-way clutch 33, and further to the gear 29.
30 to the take-up roll 24. As a result, the continuous feed roller 23 and the take-up roll 24 rotate,
The ink ribbon 22 has been guided from the ink ribbon roll 22 through the stepped slit 43, the heat generating part 21a1 of the thermal head 21, and the ink ribbon guide window 42 by the shaft 31, the ink ribbon guide 44, and the continuous feed roller 23.
Wind up a. In this case, the continuous feed roller 23 is adjusted to the amount of movement of the handy copier main body 1 so as not to generate a relative speed between the printing paper and the ink ribbon 22a as the handy copier main body 1 moves. and rotate.

On the other hand, the movement amount detection signal output from the photosensor 37 is sent to the control section 51, the timing signal generation section 52, and the speed detection section 53 as an output signal of the encoder 39, as described above. The timing signal generating section 52 includes:
A print timing signal is output to the thermal head drive circuit 71 in accordance with the movement amount detection signal sent from the encoder 39.

On the other hand, along with this, 160bit shift register 6
The character code for 20 characters pre-loaded in 1 in 7 is sequentially given to the character generator 63 by the shift clock SC from the 40-decimal counter 68, and the address Ao changes from "0" to "°1" each time. Thus, as shown in FIG. 7, the uppermost column of each character data is sequentially read out in 8-bit units to the control unit 51 via the data selector 60. Then, when the character data for 20 characters (320bit/line) is read out, the character data is output to the thermal head drive circuit 71, and the control unit 51 also controls the number of black characters in the print data and the temperature sensor 55. The energization time for the thermal head 21 is set based on the head temperature, the voltage detection signal of the power supply voltage detector, the adjustment value of the density adjustment volume 7, etc. The thermal head drive circuit 71 drives the thermal head 21 according to control data from the control section 51 and timing signals from the timing signal generation section 52. By driving the thermal head 21, character data created in advance is thermally transferred onto the printing paper A via the ink ribbon 22a. In this case, as the main body 1 of the handy copy moves, the unused portion of the ink ribbon 22a is sent out from the ink ribbon roll 22, and the used portion printed by the thermal head 21 is transferred to the ink ribbon take-up roll 24. It is wound up sequentially.

Thereafter, each time the hexadecimal counter 69 counts up and the addresses A1 to A4 change from "0001" to "0010", the character data of the 20 characters in the horizontal and vertical columns are sequentially read out in 16 bits in the vertical direction. As shown in the figure, 20 characters are printed side by side in the column direction at the top copy position.

In this way, when the character information for 20 characters manually created in advance is printed, the flip 70 knob FF is reset by the carry signal from the hexadecimal counter 69.
The data selector 60 is switched to the image data memory 59 side by the select signal d.

Then, the control unit 51 sequentially specifies the row and digit addresses of the image data memory 59 according to the movement amount detection signal from the encoder 39, and selects the image data stored in the image data memory 59 via the data selector 60. The data is read and output to the thermal head drive circuit 11 one row at a time. Even more! The II 111 unit 51 receives the number of black characters in the print data, the head temperature from the temperature sensor 55, the voltage detection signal from the power supply voltage detector, the adjustment value of the density adjustment volume 7, etc. in the same manner as when printing the character information. Thermal head 21 on base
The image data read from the image data memory 59 is output to the thermal head drive circuit 71. As a result, as shown in FIG. 8, the read image data is thermally transferred onto the printing paper A via the ink ribbon 22a following the printing row of the character information.

By moving the Handico and the machine body 1 in the X direction as described above, character information from 20 characters created in advance using the key manual section 10a is printed and then stored in the image data memory 59. The image data that has been displayed is sequentially printed on the printing paper A.

Therefore, according to the compact copying machine configured as described above, it is possible to simultaneously print and attach a message for the image information along with the read image information, so even if only a portion of the document is scanned, dates, headings, etc. It becomes possible to add information without the need for handwriting.

In the above embodiment, the character information created by the key human power section 10a is read directly from the character generator 63 to the control section 51 via the data selector 60 in the print mode, and is output to the thermal head drive circuit 71. However, if the configuration of the electronic circuit in FIG. 4 is changed as shown in FIG. 9, the created character information can be read and output. It is possible to temporarily store the image data in the image data memory 59 together with the image data, and then print the image data at the rearmost position of the copy on the printing paper A.

In this case, the read operation command R is output to the one-shot circuit 10 via the inverter INVI, and the clock pulse Φ to the 40-decimal counter 68 is not output when reading image data. At this time, -dimensional image sensor 1
The read image signal outputted from 5 through the serial/parallel converter 58 is written into the image data memory 59 through the data selector 60. When the writing of all the read image data is completed, the read operation command R from the control section 51 falls, and the output of the clock pulse Φ to the 40-decimal counter 68 is started, and the character information is transferred from the character generator 63. read out,
Memory f! following the image data write position in the image data memory 59 via the data selector 60! 41a. As a result, when reading and printing read image data, character information is transferred from the image data memory 59 to R.
It is read out later, and is printed out after printing the read image data.

Further, in the above embodiment, the key manual section 10a is configured to arbitrarily create necessary dates, headings, etc. and print them out together with the read image data. However, the configuration of the electronic circuit in FIG. If the changes are made as shown in FIG. 10, image data can be read.

The date of actual printing is automatically printed out together with the read image data.

In this case, the key manual section 10a is equipped with a numeric keypad and a set key SET, and the key manual sections 11111 64 and 40b respectively operate a clock counter 82, a day counter 83, a month counter 84, and a year counter 85, which are operated by a clock.
It is used when adjusting via the it shift register 81. Here, each key human input data is processed using a 4-bit character code, so the above 4Qb i
The t shift register 81 can latch data for 10 digits. That is, the read operation command R from the control unit 51
When the is output, first, a write signal @W is supplied to the 80bit shift register 86 via the one-shot circuit 70a, and the year, month, and day data at the time of starting reading are stored in advance from each counter 83 to 85. It will be done. Here, 80b
The shift register 86 can latch 20 digits of 4-bit character code, so for example, r86-
10-25'' is written, character codes are written in 4-bit units between 1 bit and 32 bits, and blank codes are written in the remaining 33 bits to 80 bits.

After all the read image data is written into the image data memory 59, the print mode is set, and when the print operation command P is output from the control unit 51, the clock pulse Φ is sent to the one-shot circuit 70 to The hexadecimal counter 68 starts counting up, and the 5-bit address A is counted together with the shift clock SC for the 8Qbit shift register 86 and the hexadecimal counter 69.
o=A+, the 8-digit date data is sequentially read out from the character generator 87 and output to the thermal head drive circuit 71 via the data selector 60 and the control section 51. In this way, after the date of copying is automatically printed at the top position, the read image data is subsequently read out from the image data memory 59 and printed.

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, according to the present invention, the image information obtained by the image information reading means is stored, and the necessary character information is manually entered in advance, and this key character information and the above-mentioned key character information are stored. The structure is such that the stored read mva information is printed with the character information placed in a predetermined position, so even if it is not possible to copy the entire manuscript, for example, there is no need to write it in by hand, and it can be printed. It is possible to provide a small-sized copying device that can print necessary information such as date, document heading, etc. together with a copy of a manuscript.
