ABSTRACT:
In an image processor according to the present invention, image data of a document is read and whether the image data includes a character or not is detected. If no character is recognized, copying is performed. If a character is detected, then the character is separated from the image data so that the character's size can be recognized to determine if the character is readable. If the character is of a readable size, it is composited with the image data, copying is performed and the processing comes to an end. However, if the character is smaller than a readable size, then the character itself is processed to be a readable size. Next, the character is composited with the image data, and processing comes to an end. With these features, since the transmitted image contains easily readable characters, the operation of the image processor is improved and its efficiency and value are increased. Moreover, since only a practically usable image is output, the waste of resources is prevented.
