Abstract
A method of inputting an image of an original by inputting images of a plurality of divisions into which the original is divided, by the use of an image input device. By dividing the original and inputting the divisions separately, an image input device having relatively few pixels may be used. An image of a division of the original input by the image input device is displayed in an image scrolling area of a screen of a monitor and an image of part of another division adjacent to the division is displayed in an image fixing area of the screen adjacent to one side of the image scrolling area. The image displayed in the image scrolling area is scrolled so as to avoid discontinuity between the images displayed in both image areas by shifting one of the original and the image input device relative to the other. The data of the image displayed in the image scrolling area is stored in an image memory. The entire image of the original thus may be stored, and may be printed subsequently on photograhic paper.
