Abstract
A video printer is supplied with image information, which represents a halftone image having an aspect ratio of 4/3. A rotationally converting section in IC converts the image information so that orientation of the image makes one fourth rotation. A size reducing section in IC processes the image information to reduce a size of the image. A thermal recording head is supplied with the image information after the reduction and the rotational conversion, and records the image on a color thermosensitive recording sheet, which has an aspect ratio of 4/3. The image is recorded in an upper half of the recording sheet. A phrase memory stores phrase information. A synthesizing circuit combines the phrase information with the image information after the reduction and the rotational conversion. The phrase is preferably recorded in a lower half of the recording sheet and outside the image.
