Automatic image duplicating apparatus

摘要

An image duplicating apparatus having an ordinary copy mode and an edited copy mode of operation, includes optical scanning and image reproducing systems responsive to given image information for reproducing images on the basis of the image information, internal and external input devices each for entering a mode select signal for selecting one of the ordinary copy mode and the edited copy mode of operation and data for use in the edited copy mode of operation when the edited copy mode of operation is selected by the mode select signal, and a microprocessor circuit for conditioning the scanning and image reproducing systems to reproduce the images in the edited copy mode of operation in response to the mode select signal from each of the internal and external input devices, wherein, when the edited copy mode of operation is selected by the mode select signal from one of the internal and external input devices in the presence of the mode select signal selecting the edited copy mode of operation from the other of the input devices, the microprocessor circuit is operative to condition the scanning and image reproducing systems to reproduce the images preferentially in the edited copy mode of operation dictated by the mode select signal from the latter device.
