Abstract:
1. An image processing apparatus comprising: an integrated image-reading/writing head including a transparent cover, a substrate opposed to and spaced from the transparent cover, a plurality of light receiving elements mounted in a row on the substrate and capable of reading in a main scanning direction an image on a document faced onto the transparent cover whereby outputting line by line read image data containing a first to an n-th pixel data, and a plurality of printing elements mounted in a row generally in parallel to the light receiving elements on the substrate and capable of outputting printing image data onto a recording paper for printing; a platen roller for the document, facing the transparent cover; a platen roller for the recording paper, facing the printing elements; and data processing means capable of creating the printing image data containing a first to a n-th printing pixel data respectively corresponding to the first to the n-th pixel data in the read image data; characterized by that the light receiving elements and the printing elements are mounted on a same surface of the substrate; that a feeding direction of the document in a region where the document is faced to the transparent cover and a feeding direction of the recording paper in a region where the recording paper is faced to the printing elements are the same; and that the pixel data outputted for the printing are arranged in the order of first to n-th when the printing image data are outputted by the printing elements onto the recording paper for printing.
