Abstract
An image processing apparatus comprises binarizing circuit for binarizing an input image data, selector for selecting a transmission destination of the binary signal from the binarizing circuit, and switching device for switching a binarization mode of the binarizing circuit in accordance with the selection by the selector.
Claims15
An image processing apparatus comprising:
- image data input means;
- processing means for processing the image data inputted from said image data input means to produce a reproduction signal, said processing means being capable of processing the image data in at least several processing modes;
- selection means for selecting a transfer destination of the reproduction signal from said processing means;
- and
- switching means for switching the processing mode of said processing means in accordance with the selection by said selection means.
