Abstract:
1. A multifunction printer comprising: a scanner configured to read an image printed on a printing medium; a memory configured to store a plurality of pieces of still image data; a printing head configured to print, on a first printing medium, a plurality of thumbnail images corresponding to the plurality of pieces of the still image data stored in the memory; an image data-extracting section which comprises: an image-combining section configured to combine the base image data extracted by the base image-extracting section with the correction data extracted by the correction data-extracting section to generate combined image data, wherein: the printing head is configured to print, on the first printing medium together with the plurality of thumbnail images, a movie image identification mark, which is provided to identify movie image data, the image data-extracting section is configured to recognize, based on the movie image identification mark, the movie image data, from which the image data-extracting section is configured to extract the base image data and the correction image data, the printing head is configured to print, on a second printing medium, an image of the combined image data generated by the image-combining section, the correction data-extracting section is configured to extract two or more pieces of the correction image data from the plurality of pieces of the still image data stored in the memory, the correction data-extracting section is configured to cut out two or more pieces of the correction data, each of which corresponds to the partial area, from the two or more pieces of the correction image data, the image-combining section is configured to combine the base image data and the two or more pieces of the correction data with each other to generate two or more pieces of to-be-printed data and, simultaneously, to generate thumbnail image data corresponding to the two or more pieces of to-be-printed data, the printing head is configured to print two or more to-be-printed thumbnail images, which correspond to the thumbnail image data corresponding to the two or more pieces of to-be-printed data, on a third printing medium, the multifunction printer further comprises a printing image-identifying section configured to identify a specific to-be-printed data from the two or more pieces of to-be-printed data when the scanner reads the third printing medium, the specific to-be-printed data corresponds to a predetermined printing selection mark marked to one of the two or more to-be-printed thumbnail images printed on the third printing medium, the printing head is configured to print an image of the specific to-be-printed data identified by the printing image-identifying section on the second printing medium, and the printing head is configured to print, on a margin of the first printing medium together with the plurality of thumbnail images, one of symbols and marks which indicate the left, right, top, and bottom of the first printing medium.
