Abstract
Abstract Information of an object to be read out is read out by an image sensor synchronizing with a first synchronous signal and is stored in a memory which is then subjected to printing on a transfer surface in synchronism with a second synchronous signal by moving the transfer apparatus in contact with the outside transfer surface.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
158 words
A portable transfer apparatus comprising: a lens provided at one end portion of a casing for focusing an object; an image sensor for converting into electric signals an optical image passing through said lens; an illumination light source for illuminating said object; a first encoder for detecting a relative moving speed of the lens with respect to the object and for outputing a first synchronous signal: printing means provided at another end portion of said casing for printing informations of said object onto a transfer surface outsdie of said transfer apparatus; a second encoder for detecting a relative moving speed of the printing means with respect to said transfer surface and for outputing a second synchronous signal; and a control circuit for storing the electric signals of said image sensor into a memory in synchronism with said first synchronous signal, and for outputing data in said memory to the printing means in synchronism with said second synchronous signal.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
158 words
A portable transfer apparatus comprising: a lens provided at one end portion of a casing for focusing an object; an image sensor for converting into electric signals an optical image passing through said lens; an illumination light source for illuminating said object; a first encoder for detecting a relative moving speed of the lens with respect to the object and for outputing a first synchronous signal: printing means provided at another end portion of said casing for printing informations of said object onto a transfer surface outsdie of said transfer apparatus; a second encoder for detecting a relative moving speed of the printing means with respect to said transfer surface and for outputing a second synchronous signal; and a control circuit for storing the electric signals of said image sensor into a memory in synchronism with said first synchronous signal, and for outputing data in said memory to the printing means in synchronism with said second synchronous signal.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
26 words
