Title: Image processing apparatus and method therefor, and storage medium
Inventor: INUI MASANOBU
IPC: H04N1/393
Filed: 2002-10-02
Abstract: <P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain the same image repeat output result even from different kinds of image processing apparatuses having different hardware configurations.  <P>SOLUTION: Image data are input, and the input image data are stored in a memory by the inputting means. The image data stored in the memory are repeatedly read out so that the image can repeatedly be output to a sheet. The possible repeat number of the images for an output sheet is judged, and further, considering the limitation peculiar to the image processing apparatus, the possible repeat number of the images for the output sheet is judged. Based on both of these results, the size of the read image data is controlled to be corrected. Operational instruction for that control can be effected by user's manipulation.  <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO
