Abstract
This invention realizes synthesis of an image of an original document (an original image) with a separate image composed of a row of characters. The possibility that the original image and the separate image will overlap each other when the original image is printed on a sheet is precluded by the present invention using a procedure which comprises comparing the size of the sheet with the size of the original image (size of sheet>size of original image) and shifting (adjusting) the position for printing the original image or, when necessary, further contracting the original image or the separate image so that the separate image may be contained by way of synthesis in the part of a margin of the sheet appearing as the difference between the size of the sheet and the size of the original image prior to the printing of the original image on the sheet.
