  • Patent number: 7796295
    Abstract: There is provided an image reader system including an attribute acquisition unit that acquires an attribute of an original that has been detected by an image reader unit that optically reads an image of the original, and an image output unit that outputs the attribute that has been acquired by the image reader unit and image data that are acquired by the reading of the image reader unit with the attribute and the image data being associated with each other.

  • Patent number: 5774232
    Abstract: The present invention provides an image recording apparatus comprising a document size detection sensor 103 for recognizing a size of an image to be recorded, an image input section 101 for reading and storing therein the image to be recorded, a paper feeder (not shown herein) for storing therein and feeding recording paper having a specified size, an image forming section 108 for forming an image on recording paper fed from the paper feeder, an image processing section 106 for dividing a read image to two portions based on a result of detection by the document size detection sensor 103 when a size of the image to be recorded is larger than recording paper having a specified size and executing image processing for displacing a central position of each image so that an edge section of each image will be aligned to an edge of a binding space of each discrete sheet of recording paper, and an image output section 107 for outputting an image processed by the image processing section 108.

  • Patent number: 5717843
    Abstract: An image recording apparatus including a document size detection sensor for recognizing a size of an image to be recorded, an image input section for reading and storing therein the image to be recorded, a paper feeder for feeding recording paper having a specified size, an image forming section for forming an image on recording paper fed from the paper feeder, a control means for calculating a number of sheets of recording paper to be recorded from said total number of pages, an image processing section for executing image processing for displacing a central position of each image so that an edge section of each image will be aligned to an edge of a binding space of each discrete sheet of recording paper, and an image output section for outputting an image processed by the image processing section 108.

  • Patent number: 5602651
    Abstract: The present invention provides an image recording apparatus including a document size detection sensor 103 for recognizing a size of an image to be recorded. An image input section 101 reads and stores therein the image to be recorded, and a paper feeder stores therein and feeding recording paper having a specified size. An image forming section 108 forms an image on recording paper fed from the paper feeder. An image processing section 106 divides a read image into two portions based on a result of detection by the document size detection sensor 103 when a size of the image to be recorded is larger than recording paper having a specified size and executes image processing for displacing a central position of each image so that an edge section of each image will be aligned to an edge of a binding space of each discrete sheet of recording paper. One of the image portions may further be inverted. An image output section 107 outputs an image processed by the image processing section 108.
