Operating state monitoring device of picture processor

Abstract

Abstract PURPOSE:To monitor an advancing state of a read or recording operation, by providing an operating state monitoring device adjacently extending over a desired area of a picture on a form irradiated by a light source, and setting an output terminal of an optical fiber of its device to a position which can be viewed from the outside. CONSTITUTION:Recorded paper 3 irradiated by a light source lamp 6 is carried onto a recording head 1 by an opposed roller 2, and in the proximity of the down stream side of the recording head 1, an optical fiber flux 4 is disposed. Length of this fiber flux 4 is made almost same as the maximum width of the recorded paper 3, and said fiber flux is formed in plural rows so as to cover width of one character portion of a recorded picture, and is placed so as to be opposed to the recorded surface. On the output terminal side of this fiber flux 4, an indicator 5 which is capable of viewing a recorded image is placed, so that the recorded picture can be seen from the outside of a device housing. Subsequently, when information on the recorded paper 3 is recorded on an ink film 7, an advancing state of a recording operation is visually monitored by the indicator 5. Also, when information on the recorded paper is read by changing the recording head 1 to a reading head, a read state is visually monitored in the same way.
