Abstract
Abstract An image processing system has an original reader or an image file for generating an image signal, a soft display, a high-speed printer, a small printer, a work station with a CPU, and a switching device. An image can always be displayed or printed at the center of a display surface or of a recording medium irrespective of a difference in the image and the display surface or recording medium.
