Abstract

Image information suitable for positive image generation and present in matrix form is transferred from a data processing device (1) to a converting device (5). The converting device (5) contains a storage device (2) accommodating at least two image lines (m) and an OR logic combining means (3). The latter, in order to generate image information suitable for inverse image generation of a pixel (P), logically combines the image information suitable for positive image generation of this pixel (P) with at least one further such item of image information of an adjacent pixel (P). The generated pixels (P) are output by the converting device (5) to an image reproduction device (4).
