Digital copier operable with external storing medium

DETAILED DESCRIPTION It is, therefore, an object of the present invention to provide a digital copier having an external storing device of the type using an inexpensive storing medium.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a digital copier having an external storign device of the type using a laser card (optical card).
It is another object of the present invention to provide a digital copier using a laser card a part of which can be visualized and an external storing device which causes the visible part of the laser card to display a remaining amount of capacity to allow a person to see it by intuition.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a digital copier having an external storing device which, when the remaining capacity of a storing medium smaller than the amount of a particular number of pages of image data which are to be written in the storing medium, applies reduction processing which matches with the remaining capacity to the image data to thereby prevent a series of image data from being recorded in pieces in more than one recording medium.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a digital copier having an external storing device which stores character codes representative of character data and bit data representative of graphic data in a single storing medium in distinction from each other, so that the image data and the character data are eventually outputted in combination with each other by way of individual means.
It is another obejct of the present invention to provide a digital copier having an external storing device which omits complicated manual operations by recording image data and extra data necessary for printing them out at the same time in a storing medium.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a digital copier having an external storing device which protects image data for secrecy.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a digital copier which automatically puts the pages of copies in order
