Abstract
In an image forming apparatus including a digital image processing device, an overlay memory stores predetermined image data. The image data stored in the overlay memory is read at a predetermined timing in a predetermined cycle and composite data is made from the image data and image data outputted from a line memory. Since the image data stored in the overlay memory is read at the predetermined timing in the predetermined cycle, various kinds of overlaid image which may include a space-magnified image can be made by arbitrarily selecting the timing and cycle for reading.
