Abstract

Abstract In a device for setting trimming areas of an original in an original image reproduction apparatus of a flat bed scanning type wherein the original is pressed on a transparent plate by a surface of a frame pivotably supported by a bearing mechanism on a side of the transparent plate when the frame is closed relative to the transparent plate and image signals for recording reproduced images of the trimming areas of the original are obtained by photoelectrically scanning the original through the transparent plate by means of a CCD linear sensor array, the improvement includes a digitizer board provided on the pressing surface of the frame for obtaining coordinate values defining predetermined points at the desired trimming areas of the original mounted on the board.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim 156 words
A device for setting trimming areas of an original in an original image reproduction apparatus of a first bed scanning type, which apparatus obtains image information on said original by photoelectrically scanning said original utilizing photoelectrically scanning means to obtain scanned information and records a reproduced image of said original on the basis of said scanned information, said device comprising; a transparent member adapted to have an original provided thereon for supporting an original to be photoelectrically scanned by said photoelectrically scanning means; a pivotable member pivotably located on one side of said transparent member and moveable between opened and closed positions relative to said transparent member, said pivotable member having a pressure surface for pressing said original mounted against said transparent member when said pivotable member is in said closed position; and digitizer means provided on said pressing surface of said pivotable member for obtaining coordinate trimming data concerning said trimming areas of said original.
