Abstract

Abstract An image recording apparatus wherein an image information is developed by converting the image information into an optical signal and by writing the image information on a drum-shaped image retainer (1) with the converted optical signal, and is recorded . A first writing timing is set in a first writing direction with respect to the image retainer (1) and a second writing timing is set in a second writing direction with respect to said image retainer (1) and the number of developing rotations with respect to the image retainer (1) is calculated in accordance with the settings of the writing timings. The image information is overwritten the number of times corresponding to the number of developing rotations.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim 145 words
An image recording apparatus having a reading portion (250) for reading an image information and converting the image information photoelectrically into an image signal and having a recording portion (10) for developing the image information by writing on a drum-shaped image retainer (1) with said image signal, and recording the image information, which apparatus comprises: first timing setting means (50) for setting a writing timing in a first writing direction (X) with respect to said image retainer (1); second timing setting means (50) for setting a writing timing in a second writing direction (Y) with respect to said image retainer (1); and calculating means (41) for calculating the number of developing rotations with respect to said image retainer (1) in accordance with the settings of said writing timings, wherein said image information is overwritten the number of times corresponding to said number of developing rotations.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 145 words
An image recording apparatus having a reading portion (250) for reading an image information and converting the image information photoelectrically into an image signal and having a recording portion (10) for developing the image information by writing on a drum-shaped image retainer (1) with said image signal, and recording the image information, which apparatus comprises: first timing setting means (50) for setting a writing timing in a first writing direction (X) with respect to said image retainer (1); second timing setting means (50) for setting a writing timing in a second writing direction (Y) with respect to said image retainer (1); and calculating means (41) for calculating the number of developing rotations with respect to said image retainer (1) in accordance with the settings of said writing timings, wherein said image information is overwritten the number of times corresponding to said number of developing rotations.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 26 words
An image recording apparatus according to Claim 1, wherein said first writing direction (X) is selected in the main scanning direction of the reading portion (250).
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 26 words
An image recording apparatus according to Claim 1, wherein said second writing direction (Y) is selected in the auxiliary scanning direction of the reading portion (250).
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 166 words
An image recording apparatus having a reading portion (250) for reading an image information and converting the image information photoelectrically into an image signal and having a recording portion (10) for developing the image information by writing on a drum-shaped image retainer (1) with said image signal, and recording the image information, which apparatus comprises: first timing setting means (50) for setting a writing timing in a first writing direction with respect to said image retainer (1); second timing setting means (50) for setting a writing timing in a second writing direction with respect to said image retainer (1); and calculating means (41) for calculating the number of developing rotations with respect to said image retainer (1) in accordance with the settings of said writing timings, wherein said first and second writing timings are automatically set in accordance with the designation of a magnification, and wherein said image information is overwritten at the designated magnification the number of times corresponding to said number of developing rotations.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 166 words
An image recording apparatus having a reading portion (250) for reading an image information and converting the image information photoelectrically into an image signal and having a recording portion (10) for developing the image information by writing on a drum-shaped image retainer (1) with said image signal, and recording the image information, which apparatus comprises: first timing setting means (50) for setting a writing timing in a first writing direction with respect to said image retainer (1); second timing setting means (50) for setting a writing timing in a second writing direction with respect to said image retainer (1); and calculating means (41) for calculating the number of developing rotations with respect to said image retainer (1) in accordance with the settings of said writing timings, wherein said first and second writing timings are automatically set in accordance with the designation of a magnification, and wherein said image information is overwritten at the designated magnification the number of times corresponding to said number of developing rotations.
