Appeal No. 2001-2697
Application No. 08/770,048 Page 2
2. A method of reproducing a composite image, comprising
the steps of:
photoelectrically reading out an image recorded on an
original medium at a rough picture element interval to obtain a
rough image signal representing the image;
processing the rough image signal using initial signal
composing conditions to produce a rough composite image signal;
displaying the rough composite image signal as a visible
image;
correcting the initial signal composing conditions and the
visible image so that the visible image satisfies a desired image
composition, wherein the desired image composition includes type
of text, position of text, margin information, composite image
size information, composite image orientation information;
photoelectrically reading out the image recorded on the
original medium at a fine picture element interval to obtain a
fine image signal representing the image;
processing the fine image signal using the corrected signal
composing conditions to produce a fine composite image signal;
reproducing the fine composite image signal as the composite
image on a photosensitive material.
The prior art references of record relied upon by the
examiner in rejecting the appealed claims are:
McDonald 5,272,549 Dec. 21, 1993
Zelten 5,652,663 Jul. 29, 1997
Claims 2, 3, and 5 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as
being unpatentable over McDonald in view of Zelten and well known
prior art.
