  • Patent number: 7104714
    Abstract: A printer includes a transporting block, a printing block, a positioning block, and an intermediate picking-up device. The positioning block is disposed between the transporting block and the printing block, and positions printing sheets transported by the transporting block at a predetermined location one at a time, so that they are positioned one at a time at a printing location of the printing block where printing is performed on the printing sheets. The intermediate picking-up means picks up the printing sheets positioned at the predetermined location in the positioning block one at a time in order to transport the printing sheets to the printing block.

  • Patent number: 7016069
    Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to provide a video processing apparatus which makes it possible to print a picture having an arbitrary size without forging an original picture. A video processing apparatus according to the present invention includes a print size selecting means 51 for selecting a print size of a printer 3 by selecting a size of a picture frame, a CPU 43 for determining the number of pixels of a video data corresponding to the selected print size, and a memory controller 33 for processing the video data in accordance with the number of pixels so that pixels of a video data output from a camera 1 should be in one-to-one correspondence with pixels of a video data to be printed by the printer 3. It is not necessary to subject the original picture to video processings such as a decimating processing, an interpolation processing or the like.

  • Patent number: 6786659
    Abstract: With conventional analog printers, ordinary users are experienced in the subtract color mixture for adjustment of image colors. Therefore, when adjusting the colors in an image displayed on a monitor of a video player and set by the additive color mixture, a user has difficulty if not familiar with the complementary relation between colors. The present invention proposes a printer and color adjusting method in which images of which a designated portion changed in color balance using a gamma (&ggr;) data table in an image processor are printed in one printing paper and the user is prompted to select one of the images for storage in the printer. Thus, the user can select an image having colors he desires from images actually used and set the selected data into the printer. Thus, after the color adjustment, a desired print whose set colors are automatically stored can be provided.
