Abstract
An image input circuit, an image memory, an image processing circuit and an image output circuit are controlled by a host CPU through a host CPU bus and are connected by an image data bus so as to enable data transfer between each other. The image memory, image processing circuit and the image data bus for multiple-valued image and those for binary image are prepared. Consequently, storing, processing and transfer of multiple-valued image data and those for binary image data can be carried out independently from each other.
