Abstract
Abstract An original picture image recorder and method wherein a supplementary data display device for displaying supplemental data being copied in addition to original data is provided close to a document glass plate on which documents being recorded are mounted, and a device for preventing the background area of the display device in a display state from generating photographic fog on materials being recorded is provided. A light source for illuminating the display device as one for preventing photographic fog is provided separately from an exposure device for exposing the display device.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 12
Claim 1
Independent Claim
100 words
An original picture image recorder comprising a supplementary data display means for displaying supplemental data being copied in addition to original data, said display means being provided close to a document glass plate on which documents being recorded are mounted; an image forming assembly for exposing said documents and display means to light and forming electrostatic images corresponding to reflex light therefrom on an image retainer; a developing assembly for developing the electrostatic images into visible ones; and means for preventing the background area of said display means in a display state from generating photographic fog on materials being recorded.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
100 words
An original picture image recorder comprising a supplementary data display means for displaying supplemental data being copied in addition to original data, said display means being provided close to a document glass plate on which documents being recorded are mounted; an image forming assembly for exposing said documents and display means to light and forming electrostatic images corresponding to reflex light therefrom on an image retainer; a developing assembly for developing the electrostatic images into visible ones; and means for preventing the background area of said display means in a display state from generating photographic fog on materials being recorded.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
38 words
An original picture image recorder as claimed in claim 1, wherein a light source for illuminating said display means as one for preventing photographic fog is provided separately from an original exposure means for exposing said display means.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
38 words
An original picture image recorder as claimed in claim 1, wherein said display means is composed of transmissive liquid crystal and planar type light source is provided facing the back thereof as a means for preventing photographic fog.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
45 words
An original picture image recorder as claimed in claim 1, wherein an unwanted charge eliminating means is provided as a means for preventing photographic fog on the image retainer on which an electrostatic image corresponding to the additional data of said display means is provided.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
20 words
An original picture image recorder as claimed in claim 4, wherein said unwanted charge eliminating means is an exposure means.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
69 words
In an image forming method comprising exposing a document on a document glass plate, displaying additional information on an additional display means in the vicinity of said document glass plate to form electrostatic latent images on an image retainer, and developing said electrostatic latent images to obtain toner images, the improvement which comprises exposing said document with a different degree of exposure from the exposure of said additional information.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
69 words
In an image forming method comprising exposing a document on a document glass plate, displaying additional information on an additional display means in the vicinity of said document glass plate to form electrostatic latent images on an image retainer, and developing said electrostatic latent images to obtain toner images, the improvement which comprises exposing said document with a different degree of exposure from the exposure of said additional information.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
21 words
The image forming method of claim 6 wherein the exposure of said additional information is greater than that of said document.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
86 words
In an image forming method comprising exposing a document on a document glass plate, displaying additional information on an additional information display means in the vicinity of said document glass plate to form electrostatic latent images on an image retainer, and developing said electrostatic latent images to obtain toner images, the improvement which comprises applying a developing bias voltage to said developing means, there being different bias voltages applied to electrostatic latent image regions on the image retainer corresponding to said additional information and said document.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
86 words
In an image forming method comprising exposing a document on a document glass plate, displaying additional information on an additional information display means in the vicinity of said document glass plate to form electrostatic latent images on an image retainer, and developing said electrostatic latent images to obtain toner images, the improvement which comprises applying a developing bias voltage to said developing means, there being different bias voltages applied to electrostatic latent image regions on the image retainer corresponding to said additional information and said document.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
42 words
The image forming method of claim 8, wherein the bias voltage applied to said developing means when a region corresponding to said additional information is developed is larger than that when a region corresponding to said information of the document is developed.
