Abstract
A system for displaying images is provided having a reading device for reading an image and generating an image signal, a forming device for forming an image based on the image signal generated by the reading device on a recording medium, a display device for displaying the image to be formed by the image forming device, and an input device for entering an image signal from an external equipment, wherein image formation by the image forming device and display by the display device are made possible based on the image signal entered by the input device.
Claims23
An image processing apparatus provided with:
- reading means for reading an image and generating an image signal;
- image forming means for forming an image, based on the image signal generated by said reading means, on a recording medium;
- and
- display means for displaying the image to be formed by said image forming means;
- the apparatus comprising input means for entering an image signal from an external equipment;
- wherein the image formation by said image forming means and the display by said display means are made possible based on the image signal entered by said input means.
An image processing method for controlling an image processing apparatus provided with:
- reading means for reading an image and generating an image signal;
- image forming means for forming an image, based on the image signal generated by said reading means, on a recording medium;
- display means for displaying the image to be formed by said image forming means;
- and
- input means for entering an image signal from an external equipment;
- wherein the image formation by said image forming means and the display by said display means are made possible based on the image signal entered by said input means.
An image processing apparatus comprising:
- supply means for supplying an image signal from an external equipment to an image processing apparatus provided with reading means for reading an image and generating an image signal, image forming means for forming an image, based on the image signal generated by said reading means, on a recording medium, and display means for displaying the image to be formed by said image forming means;
- and
- output means for outputting a control signal for controlling the display by said display means.
An image processing method for controlling an image processing apparatus provided with reading means for reading an image and generating an image signal, image forming means for forming an image, based on the image signal generated by said reading means, on a recording medium, and display means for displaying the image to be formed by said image forming means;
- said method comprising:
- a supply step of supplying an image signal from an external equipment to said image processing apparatus;
- and
- an output step of outputting a control signal for controlling the display by said display means.
An image processing apparatus provided with first supply means for supplying image forming means, adapted to form an image based on an image signal on a recording medium, with said image signal and second supply means for supplying display means, adapted to display an image to be formed by said image forming means, with an image signal representing said image, said apparatus comprising a function of effecting mediation between plural instructions for the display by said display means for mutually different plural instructions means.
An image processing method provided with a first supply step for supplying image forming means, adapted to form an image based on an image signal on a recording medium, with said image signal and a second supply step for supplying display means, adapted to display an image to be formed by said image forming means, with an image signal representing said image, said method comprising a step of effecting mediation between plural instructions for the display by said display means from mutually different plural instructions means.
