  • Patent number: 11736647
    Abstract: An image outputting device includes a scanning module, a storage module, an identification module, a calibration module and a printing module. The scanning module generates an image by scanning an object. The storage module stores the image. The identification module identifies a layout orientation and a text orientation of the image. The calibration module calibrates the layout orientation and the text orientation of the image according to a relation of an identification result of the identification module and a layout orientation of the printing medium. When the printing module prints the calibrated image on a printing surface of the printing medium and outputs the printing medium with the printing surface facing downwardly, the layout orientation of the printed image matches with the layout orientation of the printing medium, and the text orientation of the printed image is opposite to an medium outputting direction or arranged from proximal to distal.

  • Patent number: 10530961
    Abstract: A copying apparatus capable of calibrating a copy position comprises a scanning module scanning an original to obtain an original image; and a processing module being electrically connected to the scanning module and recognizing whether the original image contains an original mark corresponding to a template mark. If the original image contains the original mark, then the processing module generates print data for being printed out according to the original image and a position parameter of the template mark. A copying method capable of calibrating the copy position is also provided. Thus, the copy position can be calibrated according to the mark of the original to prevent the copy result from having a positional offset. Consequently, no positional offset occurs even if the original is copied multiple times based on the previous generation of original.

  • Patent number: 10257383
    Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes an image processing device. The image processing device includes a receiving port and a processor connected together. The receiving port receives old image data corresponding to a document image of a document. The processor divides the old image data into first area image data corresponding to a first area image of the document, and second area image data corresponding to a second area image of the document, and further performs image enhancement processing on the first area image data to obtain enhanced first area image data. Thus, the first area image may be separated from the second area image, and the image enhancement processing is performed on the first area image. The enhanced first area image data and the second area image data are separately outputted or combined for output.
