Abstract
A signal processing device comprises buffer memory means for outputting a coded signal in parallel by a signal of predetermined bits, shifting means for shifting the coded signal so that the head bit of the coded signal become the head of the outputted signal, decoding memory means for decoding the coded signal to a run length signal having information of the run length of the coded signal, and outputting a shifting signal designating a bit number of the coded signal corresponding to the number to be shifted, into said shifting means. Accordingly, said signal processing device enables to decode a coded signal at a higher speed than a conventional image signal processing device and to output an image signal into an electrophotographic printer or a CRT display, synchronizing with a processing speed of the electrophotographic printer or a sub scanning speed of the CRT display.
