Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim 124 words
An image processing apparatus, comprising: means for scanning an original document; means for designating an arbitrary area in the orginal document, and means for reproducing, on a material, an image within the designated arbitrary area in the original document scanned by said scanning means, CHARACTERIZED by further comprising: means for determining a reproducing parameter in accordance with a position of the designated arbitrary area in the original document and the size of the material so as to reproduce the image within the designated arbitrary area at the center of the material; and means for controlling said reproducing means in accordance with the determined reproducing parameter so that said reproducing means reproduces the image within the designated arbitrary area at the center of the material.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 27 words
An image processing apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising means for extracting the image within the designated arbitrary area from an image of the original document.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 107 words
An image processing apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising means for instructing a reproduciong position of the image within the designated arbitrary area on the material, wherein, in a first mode, said controlling means controls said reproducing means in caccordance with the reproducing position instructed by said instructing means so as to reproduce the image within the designated arbitrary area at the reproducing position instructed by said instructing means, and, in a second mode, said controlling means controls said reproducing means regardless of the instruction by said instructing means so as to reproduce the image within the designated arbitrary area at the center of the material.
