ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method for modifying an enlargement ratio or a reduction ratio of an image. An image reduction apparatus for reducing an image and for transmitting a reduced image to a printer includes a controller for generating position information relative to a pixel and a line constituting an image, a scanner for receiving an image of a document and for generating intermediate tone image data in pixel units according to the position information, and an image processor for receiving the position information, for determining whether or not the intermediate tone image data transmitted from the scanner should be supplied to the printer, and for discarding the intermediate tone image data or transmitting the intermediate tone image data to the printer according to the latter determination. An image enlargement apparatus includes the same basic components, but converts an enlargement ratio into a conversion ratio for enlargement, the enlargement process being followed by a reduction process as appropriate.
