IMAGE SENSING AND PRINTING DEVICE
First Claim
1. An image sensing and printing digital camera device comprising:
- a housing defining a slot for receiving a printed instruction card having printed thereon an array of dots representing a programming script, the housing further storing therein a roll of print media;
an area image sensor for sensing an image and generating pixel data representing the image;
a linear image sensor for scanning the array of dots on the card and converting the array of dots into a data signal;
a microcontroller provided in the housing, the microcontroller for decoding the data signal into the programming script and applying the programming script on the pixel data;
a printing mechanism for printing on the pixel data, having applied thereto the programming script, on the roll of print media;
a guillotine for cutting the roll of print media; and
a print manager for activating the guillotine upon receipt of a signal indicate of a manual attempt to pull the print media from the housing.
