Abstract: The present invention is to provide a printer device capable of obtaining a print result having a good balance between characters in a predetermined print area and thus having good appearance. When the print length of an input character string is to be corrected, a comparison is first made in terms of the length of blank in each character and/or clearance between characters. In a case where minus correction is performed to reduce the print length, the blank or clearance is deleted by one column at a time preferentially from the area where the length of the blank and/or clearance is larger; while in a case where plus correction is performed to increase the print length, the clearance is added by one column at a time preferentially to the area where the length of the blank and/or clearance is smaller.

Abstract: A bar-code reading system, a bar-code reader, a recording medium for the bar-code reader, and a method of reading a bar code, and of the present invention are disclosed. The bar-code reading system of the present invention is able to read the information represented by a bar code on a card with reliability and with high accuracy by passing the card through the card reader one time in spite of the presence of defect in any pixel of the bar code printed on the card. The bar-code reading system has a reading device for reading a medium on which a bar code is printed, by an image sensor having photo-electric conversion elements arranged in line, and a processing device for performing a predetermined process on the basis of information read by the reading device. The bar-code reading system is configured to read the bar code under the conditions in which the reading line of the image sensor and the direction of relative displacement of the card cross each other at a predetermined angle.

Abstract: This invention provides an automatic framing camera that identifies a still subject, frames it, and photographs it. The ranging direction of a ranging unit (light emitting element and light receiving element) that can range in one direction is changed by a pan motor and a tilt motor, and a still person is searched for by changes in the signal from the ranging unit. Then, the photography direction of the imaging element is turned by the tilt motor toward the center of the face of the person that was found, this is framed with the center of the person's face in the center of the angle of view, and the person's face is photographed by the imagining component.
