Image recording device

Abstract

Disclosed herein is an image recording device for recording a plurality of images on a single recording medium. The image recording device basically comprises a frame memory for storing input image data therein, a setting device for specifying image attribute information and image arrangement information on the recording medium, a line buffer memory for storing therein image data read from the frame memory, a dot-number counter for counting down a read clock of the frame memory in response to the number of margin dots preset thereto, a white image data storing device for storing white image data in the line buffer memory in synchronism with the read clock until the count of the dot-number counter reaches zero after the dot-number counter has started to count, an address counter for counting up the read clock in response to an image read start address preset thereto when the count of the dot-number counter has reached zero, thereby specifying an address for reading image data corresponding to each line with respect to each image from the frame memory, and a write control device for storing, at one address of the frame memory, image data corresponding to one horizontal scanning period with respect to one image.
