Image scanning and recording method

Abstract

Abstract PURPOSE: To enhance working ratio of the titled recorder and to reduce film consumption, by photoelectrically scanning a plurality of original images different from each other in copying conditions and copying magnification in block, and arranging the copied images on a photosensitive material without wasting it. CONSTITUTION: Copying conditions and magnification of each original image is written in registers in data setting circuits 12A, 12B, 12C through an input device 15. Each original image is loaded in original cylinders 1A, 1B, 1C, and the coordinate values of the trimming points of each original image are set in trimming circuits 8A, 8B, 8C so as not to overlap each trimming line images on each other, and not to leave unnecessary blanks. The image signals written in a first line buffer memory 14 is simultaneously read out with each line to convert it into an analog signal. A recording head 26 is controlled with this signal, and a desired recorded image is obtained on a film on a recording cylinder 21, thus permitting enhancement of the working ratio and reduction of film consumption.
