Abstract
Abstract An image processing device prints as much as possible frames of the image of original (9) on one or more printing material. CPU (5) develops the information of frames and the printing material on the memory area (6) so that as much as possible frames can be placed within the printing material by selecting the layout and magnifying/reducing the frames. By changing over to the alternative printing material according to previously determined priory, the printing operation is continued without any interruption, even if the printing material currently in use runs out during the printing. The boundaries between frames are drawn by line for convenience to separation of each frames after printing.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
110 words
An image processing device for printing a plurality of frames of an image of an original on a printing material comprising: a data processing means (5) for processing data of said original (9) and said printing material, said data representing the size (width and length) of said original and said printing material; and a memory means (6) for storing a processed said data of frame and printing material, whereby when said data are processed, a plurality of frame data of said original are laid out within a single frame data of said printing material stored in said memory means (6) so that as much as possible said frames are arranged.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
110 words
An image processing device for printing a plurality of frames of an image of an original on a printing material comprising: a data processing means (5) for processing data of said original (9) and said printing material, said data representing the size (width and length) of said original and said printing material; and a memory means (6) for storing a processed said data of frame and printing material, whereby when said data are processed, a plurality of frame data of said original are laid out within a single frame data of said printing material stored in said memory means (6) so that as much as possible said frames are arranged.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
35 words
An image processing device as claimed in Claim 1 further comprising: a print control means (7) for controlling printing said processed data of said frame stored in said memory means (6) on said printing material.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
42 words
An image processing device as claimed in Claim 1 further comprising: a digital processing means (4) for producing a first electric signal in relation to said original and a second electric signal in relation to said printing material for said data processing.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
71 words
An image processing device as claimed in Claim 3 further comprising: an image detecting means (2) for detecting an image information of said original (9) and, said image information including a size of said original and being in an electric signal; and an dimension detecting means for detecting a dimensional information of said printing material, said dimensional information including a size of said printing material and being in an electric signal.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
21 words
An image processing device as claimed in Claim 4, wherein said image detecting means (2) is a CCD image sensor (2).
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
42 words
An image processing device as claimed in claim 4, wherein said dimension detecting means (2) comprises an protruding member and an switching member being provided in relation of said printing material size, said switching member being turned on by said protruding member.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
98 words
An image processing device for printing a plurality of frames of an image of an original on a printing material comprising: a selecting means (1) for selecting a required number of said frames; an image detecting means (2) for detecting an image information of said original (9); a dimension detecting means (2) for detecting a size of said original (9); a material detector for detecting a presence of said printing material, said printing material being selected for use; and a material storing means for a plurality of said printing material, said printing material having a plurality of size.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
98 words
An image processing device for printing a plurality of frames of an image of an original on a printing material comprising: a selecting means (1) for selecting a required number of said frames; an image detecting means (2) for detecting an image information of said original (9); a dimension detecting means (2) for detecting a size of said original (9); a material detector for detecting a presence of said printing material, said printing material being selected for use; and a material storing means for a plurality of said printing material, said printing material having a plurality of size.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
196 words
An image processing device as claimed in Claim 7 further comprising: a print control means (7) for realizing continual printing said frames on said printing material, whereby when said printing material being selected runs out, an alternative printing material being able to bear as much as possible frames thereon is selected as an substitution for said run out printed material from a group of spared printing material having various sizes; a frame developing means (6) for storing said frames, whereby when said frames are developed, said number of said frames are developed; and a printing means for printing said number of said frames on said printing material. a data processing means (5) for processing data of said original (9) and said printing material, said data representing the size (width and length) of said original and said printing material; and a memory means (6) for storing a processed said data of frame and printing material, whereby when said data are processed, a plurality of frame data of said original are laid out within a single frame data of said printing material stored in said memory means (6) so that as much as possible said frames are arranged.
