An image reader comprises an image data output device that reads image data from an original film, a data processing device, a microcomputer which prepares character data, a comparator for combining image data and character data, and a printer device which combines the image data and character data to produce a color copy with characters printed thereon. The image reader is capable of reading either positive or negative film. The character data can be displayed in the virtual image area of the microcomputer screen, prior to printing the copy. The characters on the copy can be white or full-color. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION To achieve the foregoing objects, and in accordance with the purposes of the invention as embodied and broadly described herein, an image reader is provided comprising means for image data output that reads image data from an original and outputs the image data for each line as an electrical signal, image signal processing means for processing the image data from said image data output means, a microcomputer device that prepares character data to be entered onto an image screen and outputs the character data to a printer means, a combining means for combining the character data and image data, and a printer means that prints the combined image data and character data on a color copy.
Further, the color copy can be of a selected enlargement size produced on the basis of the image data output from said means of image data output and the character data output from said microcomputer.
Further, the image reader of the present invention includes a means for combining and transmitting character data when image data and character data are combined.
It displays a bit pattern of the character data formed in the virtual image area of the microcomputer screen.
Further, the image reader of the present invention, can read either positive film or negative film.
The image reader reads the image with line image sensors and outputs the image to a means for processing the image as an electrical signal.
With the preferred embodiment of the present invention, it is possible to linearly analyze the bit map data in the virtual image area of the microcomputer screen, sequentially obtain the color indication from the change point address of the bit pattern at one end of the line and the change point, and by outputting said address color indicator data simultaneously as the printer prints colors, produce a multicolored output.
Further, the reader device of the present invention can input instructions to said address and color data to decide whether or not to give priority to the image data.
By having the structure described above, that is by having a means for outputting a film image in relation to a printer connected to a microcomputer, and by combining data output from both of these devices as electrical signals, the image reader of the invention is capable of reproducing full color prints with embedded text
