Computerized information processing system equipped with copying apparatus

A computerized information processing system including a copying apparatus and a computer means provided with a memory means for storing data representing character signals and their arrangement, said copying apparatus being capable of composing an image, on a recording paper, of an original sheet and an image based on image signals based upon the data from said computer and at least comprising:

• a photoreceptor drum;
• a charging means for electrically charging a surface of said photoreceptor drum;
• a scanning and projecting means for scanning the original sheet and projecting an optical image of the original sheet onto the surface of said photoreceptor drum;
• a transport means for transporting a recording paper;
• a transfer means for transferring to the recording paper, an image formed on said photoreceptor drum;
• an image forming means for forming a visible image on the recording paper in response to the image signals supplied from said computer means;
• a mark read means for reading optical marks provided on the original sheet and converting the optical marks into electrical signals;
• a signal output means for supplying to said computer means, the electrical signals as instruction signals thereto;
• said computer means being at least for supplying the data representing character signals and their arrangement to said image forming means of said copying apparatus and executing, in response to the instruction signals supplied from said copying apparatus, a predetermined processing of the data representing character signals and their arrangement stored in said memory means;
• and
• said copying apparatus being operatively associated with said computer means in such a manner that, when said copying apparatus forms a composite image on the recording paper by composing a scanned and projected image of the original sheet provided with the optical marks corresponding to predetermined processing instructions to said computer and an image based on a primary image signal supplied from said computer, it thereafter reads, by the use of a read means of said copying apparatus, optical marks on the recording paper having the composite image formed thereon and then, supplies the instruction signals to said computer means, said computer means proucing secondary image signals after executing, in response to the instruction signals, the predetermined processing of the primary image signal and making an output of the secondary image signals at the time of a subsequent copying operation.
