Patent number: 5488407Abstract: A recording head having a plurality of recording elements arranged thereon is moved in a different direction than a direction of arrangement to make record scan and a recording sheet is fed by a distance corresponding to a recording width of the recording head for each scan. The record scan (main scan) and the sheet feed (sub-scan) are repeated to record received image data on the recording sheet. The feed amount of the recording sheet is counted, and the data is sent to a recording unit until the count reaches a predetermined count, that is, the data a predetermined amount before a trailing edge of the recording sheet is sent, without synchronization with the operation of the recording unit.Type: GrantFiled: April 10, 1995Date of Patent: January 30, 1996Assignee: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventor: Shunichi Tachibana

Patent number: 5485285Abstract: Image data are read out line by line from an image memory which store received image data. The read out image data are decoded, and upon removing an isolation point, developed into a line of original data. It is determined whether the developed line of original data are involved in only white information. If it is determined that the data are involved in all white information, a number of continuous line involved in all white information are counted. A recording sheet is transferred by the counted number corresponding to form a white area. Subsequently, a scan of data top of which is involved in a line including black information are generated and transmitted to a recording unit. Specifically, to send a scan of data referenced above to the recording unit, data involved in white information at both the start and end sides of the scan are cut.Type: GrantFiled: July 18, 1994Date of Patent: January 16, 1996Assignee: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventor: Shunichi Tachibana
