Abstract
An image data composing system and process is described which includes initially separating image data obtained from an original into a plurality of items of primary image data when the original bears a polychrome image. The items of image data, as separted for primary colors, are then stored in a plurality of memories. Next, the image data obtained from the original is converted to monochrome image data comprising first and second level value data when the original bears a monochrome image. This monochrome image data is then entered into at least one specified memory, included in the previously mentioned memories, and first level value is written in addresses corresponding to first level value data. Then, the binary image data is entered into the remaining memories and the second level value is written in addresses corresponding to the first level value data. Finally, the image data is delivered from the memory device to an image forming apparatus from item to item.
