Abstract: In an image forming apparatus for reading a document image and forming the document image on a paper, document image data are divided into a plurality of blocks and the document image data are compressed in the unit of block to be stored in a first memory device. The data read from the first memory device are expanded in the unit of block to be stored in a second memory device. Compression time and expansion time are estimated and image output start time for a printer is set based on the compression and expansion times before expansion of all the blocks is completed. In a different way, the start time is set to read data from a second memory device by a printer for printing, after estimation based on expansion time on data not yet expanded by an expansion device. In a still different way, predetermined form data such as page number are superposed with image data. The form data is drawn first in a page memory device and expanded image data are superposed next in the page memory device. Print is started by taking drawing time of the form data into account.

Abstract: A pair of rollers spaced at a predetermined interval are arranged in the bottom part of a facsimile machine. When the facsimile machine is manually moved on an original document while pushed against it, the rollers rotate. Detecting the rotation of the rollers, an encoder performs power on/off operations, i.e., enables/disables the supply of an electric power from a compact power supply unit, in accordance with the start/stop of the roller rotation. Upon the power on, an image sensor starts to read the document. An image signal produced by the image sensor is processed by a signal control unit, and then modulated by a G3 modem. The modulated signal is sent out to a telephone line via a network control board.
