Appeal No. 97-3749
Application 08/360,069
DECISION ON APPEAL
This is a decision on the appeal under 35 U.S.C. § 134 from the examiner’s
rejection of claims 1-8, which constitute all the claims in the application.
The disclosed invention pertains to a color image forming device which modifies
color image data based on the type of recording medium to receive the color image.
Specifically, the type of recording medium is identified which causes color image data to
be modified and stored as optimized data. The optimized data is then used to control the
exposure of an optical system to generate the color image on the identified medium.
Representative claim 1 is reproduced as follows:
1. A color image forming device which forms images from color image data for use
with different types of recording media, comprising:
modification executing means for modifying the color image data in response to an
indication of a particular type of a recording medium on which a color image is to be
formed, to thereby provide a modified image data;
recording medium indicating means for supplying said indication of the type of said
recording medium to said modification executing means;
optimized data storing means for storing said modified image data as optimized
data; and
optical means for carrying out exposure in accordance with said optimized data
supplied from said optimized data storing means.
