Effects module for a compact printer system
First Claim
1. A compact printer system effects module for applying one or more effects to an image stored in a print module of said compact printer system comprising:
- a body and within said body;
a select mechanism for retrieving the stared image from a first image store in said print module;
an image processor for applying said one or more effects to said stored image;
a transfer mechanism for transferring a resultant image to a second image store;
a LCD being connected to said image processor and providing information about said effects; and
at least one connector incorporated in said body for physically connecting said effects module to either one of two physical connectors of said print module whilst logically connecting said effects module to a bus providing power and data between said effects module and said print module.
