Abstract

An image transcribing system for transferring an image from an original document to a recording sheet in which the original image is scanned, converted to binary signals and stored in a first page memory. An image processing section transfers the image data from the first page memory to a second page memory while it is simultaneously enlarged by a predetermined factor. In the enlargement process, the image data is first enlarged by an integer factor then reduced by a fractional factor in accordance with stored bit patterns corresponding to the required fractional factor.
