Abstract
It is an object of the present invention, when using image scanner(s) to capture image(s) of original(s) and using printer(s) to print same, to enable four-sided borderless copying such that margin(s) do not appear on printout(s). An image scanner might capture an image corresponding to scan regionwhich might be somewhat larger than original. Image processing circuitry might then enlarge an image corresponding to scan region(arrow), converting it into enlarged image. Within enlarged image, the image of originalmight have been enlarged so as to become image, which might be somewhat larger than printing paper. This enlarged original imagewhich would be present within enlarged imagemight then be printed by a printer.
