<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To suppress the consumption of a toner or the like while securing the read accuracy of a bar code embedded in a printed matter. <P>SOLUTION: Scanned and read document information is analyzed, and when the density of the document information is higher than a prescribed threshold, that is, when there is a margin in a space including the bar code in a printed matter, the density of the bar code is set so as to lower the density of the bar code compared to the case that the density of the document information is lower than a prescribed threshold. By changing a dot size and a dot interval and lowering the density of the bar code, the consumption of the toner or the like is suppressed. Then, the set bar code is combined with the document information and a composite image is outputted. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT</p> |
