Abstract
A color marking apparatus for marking designated areas of an original with a designated color by recording the whole area of an original with a first color, such as black. Desired areas on the original are designated, and the designated areas are colored with a second color different from the first color, and the second color is recorded with a copy density different from the copy density used to record the first color. The color marking apparatus is controlled such that the recording operations of the apparatus are carried out in a selected order.
Claims19
A color marking apparatus comprising:
- first recording means for copying the whole area of an original with a first color to form an image;
- area designating means for designating an area on the original;
- second recording means for superimposing a second color different from said first color onto the image formed by said first recording means to mark the area designated by said area designating means;
- selection means for alternatively selecting the recording operations of said first and second recording means;
- control means for controlling said recording operation in an order selected by said selection means;
- and
- copy density controlling means for controlling the first recording means and said second recording means such that said designated area marked by said first recording means has a copy density different from a copy density of said designated area marked by said second recording means.
A color marking apparatus comprising:
- first recording means for copying the whole area of an original with a first color having a first copy density to form an image;
- area designating means for designating an area on the original;
- second recording means for superimposing a second color different from said first color and having a second copy density onto the image formed by said first recording means to mark the area designated by said area designating means;
- selection means for alternatively selecting the recording operations of said first and second recording means;
- and
- control means for controlling said recording operation in an order selected by said selection means;
- and copy density setting means for separately setting the first and second copy densities provided by said first and second recording means respectively.
A color marking apparatus comprising:
- first recording means for copying the whole area of an original with a first color to form an image;
- area designating means for designating one of a plurality of areas on the original;
- second recording means for superimposing a second color different from said first color onto the image formed by said first recording means to mark the area designated by said area designating means;
- selection means for alternatively selecting the recording operations of said first and second recording means;
- control means for controlling said recording operation in an order selected by said selection means;
- marking color designating means for designating a marking color on the basis of each area designated by said area designating means;
- and
- display means for displaying the area designated by said area designating means.
A color marking apparatus comprising first recording means for copying the whole area of an original with a first color;
- area designating means for designating at least one area on the original;
- second recording means for coloring the designated area with a second color different from said first color;
- selection means for alternatively selecting the recording operations of said first and second recording means;
- control means for controlling said recording operation in an order selected by said selection means;
- marking color designating means for designating a marking color on the basis of each area designated by said area designating means;
