Abstract
There is disclosed an image recording apparatus having reader for photoelectrically reading an original and generating image information, a first transmitter for transmitting the image information from said reader, after compressing treatment, to an outside apparatus, a second transmitter for transmitting the image information from said reader without compressing treatment to an outside apparatus, and a selecter for selecting either said first or second transmitter according to the destination of said image information.
Claims9
An image processing apparatus comprising:
- reading means for photoelectrically reading an original image and generating electrical image signals corresponding thereto;
- means for forming an image on a recording material based on the electrical image signals generated from said reading signals;
- converting means for converting the electrical image signals from said reading means into optical image signals;
- first transmitting means for transmitting the electrical image signals from said reading means to a first external apparatus through an electrical cable for transmission of the electrical image signals;
- second transmitting means for transmitting the optical image signals from said converting means to a second external apparatus through an optical fiber cable for transmission of the optical image signals;
- third transmitting means for transmitting the electrical image signals from said reading means to said forming means;
- manually operable means for indicating one of the first external apparatus, the second external apparatuses, and said forming means as a desired destination of the image signals;
- and
- selecting means for selecting either said first, second, or third transmitting means in accordance with the indicated desired destination of the image signals.
An image processing apparatus comprising:
- reading means for photoelectrically reading an original image and generating image signals corresponding thereto;
- memory means for storing a page of the image signals generated from said reading means;
- forming means for forming an image on a recording material based on the image signals;
- transmitting means for transmitting the image signals to an external apparatus;
- entering means for manually entering instructions for editing the original image;
- and
- process means for processing the image signals stored in said memory means so as to edit the original image in accordance with the entered instructions,
- wherein in a case where the original image is reproduced without editing thereof, the image signals from said reading means are supplied to said forming means without passing through said memory means, wherein in a case where the original image is reproduced after editing thereof, the image signals from said reading means are supplied through said memory means to said forming means, and wherein in a case where the image signals are transmitted to the external apparatus, the image signals from said reading means are supplied through said memory means to said transmitting means.
