Abstract:
1. A multifunction printer comprising: a scanner which reads an image printed on a printing medium; a still image data-extracting section which extracts a plurality of still image data, to be shown in a list, from inputted movie image data based on a predetermined time interval; a memory which stores a correlation between the plurality of the still image data extracted by the still image data-extracting section and time positions of the plurality of the still image data in the movie image data; a printing head which prints, on a sheet of first printing media, a plurality of thumbnail images corresponding to the plurality of the still image data extracted by the still image data-extracting section and the time positions in the movie image data so that the plurality of thumbnail images and the time positions in the movie image data are shown in the list; and a selected image-extracting section which identifies a specific time position among the time positions in the movie image data, the specific time position corresponding to a first-form selection mark marked by a user on the sheet of the first printing media based on the time positions printed on the sheet of the first printing media, when the sheet of the first printing media is scanned by the scanner after the first-form selection mark has been marked on the sheet of the first printing media by the user, and which extracts a piece of still image data, among the plurality of the still image data, corresponding to the specific time position in the movie image data based on the correlation stored in the memory, as a to-be-printed still image data of which image is to be printed, wherein the printing head prints, on the sheet of the first printing media, a movie image identification mark for identifying the movie image data from which the plurality of still image data have been extracted by the still image data-extracting section, together with the plurality of thumbnail images corresponding to the plurality of still image data; the movie image identification mark printed on the sheet of the first printing media is scanned together with the first-form selection mark; the selected image-extracting section identifies the movie image data from which the to-be-printed still image data is to be extracted, based on the movie image identification mark printed on the sheet of the first printing media; and the printing head prints, on a second printing medium, the image of the to-be-printed still image data extracted by the selected image-extracting section, wherein, when each of two positions on one sheet of the first printing media is marked with a second-form selection mark, which is different from the first-form selection mark,
