Abstract: A display displays a capture mode displaying source image data and a send mode displaying processed image data, which is to be sent. The display simultaneously displays, upon a switch from the capture mode to the send mode, the processed image data and a manipulation. The manipulation includes pixel values of the source image data and dummy values. An input inputs an address of a terminal to which the processed image data is to be transmitted. A transmitter transmits an address of a terminal together with the processed image data over a network to a server such that the server executes a processing for providing the processed image data to the terminal. An image data processor determines an image processing capacity of the terminal and converts an image size of the source image data such that the processed image data is commensurate with the image processing capacity of the terminal.

Abstract: A LED printer utilizing a low resolution print engine for forming high resolution images is disclosed, in which a virtual 2N dpi high density image (latent image) is formed on a photosensitive medium by effectively turn-on controlling an array of LED elements arranged at a pitch of N dpi on a line in the main scanning direction.For each scanning line, a plurality of divisional exposure lines are produced for turning on the LED elements 2 m times (for instance 2.times.4 times) in the auxiliary scanning direction. For the turn-on control of the LED elements, weighted arithmetic operation values are obtained by multiplying the center bit and one or more adjacent bits thereto in the main scanning direction of the 2N dpi high density image data by respectively corresponding constants, and they are summed up to obtain sum data. According to the sum data the number of times of turning on the LED elements on the divisional exposure lines is controlled to form 2N dpi high density image on the photosensitive medium.
