ABSTRACT:
An image forming process system in which an original document which includes characters to be copies is scanned. A desired magnification ratio for magnifying the original document can also be input. Further, the characters in the original document are segmented for magnifying the characters by the desired magnification ratio. This magnification operation is performed such that only the characters in the segments are magnified so that the copied and magnified characters are centered at the segments, and such that a size of the copied document is the same as the size of the original document. An operation may further be provided in which the input desired magnification ratio is based on an operator inputting a minimum distance to be maintained between the characters after the magnifying operation, so that the input magnification ratio is calculated based on this minimum distance.
