ABSTRACT:
A print control method for a microfilm reader enlarges a recorded image on a microfilm to the size of an original copy and projects the image on a screen; detects a black frame from an array indicated by image signals which are obtained by being binarized; selects one or more images from the entire area of the images; modifies images other than selected image to black frames; erases the modified black frames; enlarges the selected images at a magnification which can be arbitrarily set; and prints them out. The entire enlarged and projected image without any missing parts is included in the display area of the screen without making the screen too large. If plural images are contained in the display area of the read image, or if part of an image is outside of the display area, it is possible to output only the required images by extracting them and erasing unnecessary images together with the black frames. Moreover, paper can be efficiently utilized by arbitrarily changing the print magnification. In an embodiment where the selected image is enlarged to the maximum size that fits a predetermined print paper size, and printed out on the paper of this size, the image can be made easy to view, and the image can also be efficiently utilized. An apparatus suitable for this control method is also provided.
