Abstract
An apparatus prepares a mounting sheet of originals upon which are drawn the original positioning or arrangement lines and an area to be trimmed. When originals are pasted on the sheet and scanned by a scanner, the picture data of an original is read out. In this apparatus, a magnification, a position and a direction of an original can be entered or inputted on a data tablet and in response to the input data, a mounting sheet is automatically prepared. An operator pastes a original along the original positioning or arrangement lines on the mounting sheet and a picture in the trimmed area is scanned. Furthermore, the apparatus automatically selects an optimum drum of a scanner depending upon the magnification of each original.
Claims15
In an apparatus for preparing a sheet upon which an original having an image is pasted and which is used in a system in which said sheet is fed to a scanner so that said original is scanned and read out, an apparatus for preparing a mounting sheet of originals to be scanned comprising:
- means for inserting an original into an optical system so as to focus the image of said original on a layout sheet and making said image to coincide or register with a rough sketch on said layout sheet, thereby obtaining a magnification data of said image relative to said original;
- a data tablet for entering or inputting a position data of a reference line and said image on said layout sheet;
- arithmetic control means for accomplishing arithmetic operations based on said magnification data and said position data, thereby deriving or outputting original positioning lines and data representing an area to be trimmed;
- and
- sheet output means for delivering or outputting a sheet upon which are drawn said original positioning or arrangement lines and an area to be trimmed in response to the output from said arithmetic control means.
An apparatus for preparing a mounting sheet of originals to be scanned as set forth in caim 1 characterized in that said sheet output means includes plotting or drawing means for plotting or drawing the original positioning or arrangement lines and the area to be trimmed of each of a plurality of originals on a single sheet and storage means for storing the coordinates of each of a plurality of divided regions resulting from the division of said sheet, whereby in response to said coordinates the original positioning or arrangement lines and the area to be trimmed of each original are specified in each divided region and delivered or outputted.
