Abstract
An information recording medium ( ) has a recorded system control file (SCF) ( ) representing processing parameters necessary for reproduction processing for reading out a print-recorded code pattern and reproducing original multimedia information. With an SCF readout switch ( ) operated, an initially determined SCF read-out parameter is input from a parameter memory ( ) to a controller ( ). The controller ( ) controls each part in accordance with the input parameter and outputs read-out image data as a 1-SDU to an overlying layer and a state signal, that is, a signal showing that the SCF is being read out, as a 1-SDU to the overlying layer. The overlying layer decodes the contents of the SCF ( ) and a parameter setting signal is input as the 1-SDU from the overlying layer and it is stored in the layer 1 parameter memory ( ). At a time of reading out an actual dot code ( ) corresponding to the operation of a scanning start switch ( ) the parameter memory ( ) utilizes its stored contents.
