Patent attributes
An image processing and printing apparatus includes a processor that is configured to process image data to apply effects to the image data. Image data input circuitry receives image data for processing. A card reader reads a card having a two-dimensional code printed on one side of the card. The reader generates data representing executable code upon reading the card. The reader is connected to the processor to write the data to the processor, which executes the code and performs an image processing operation on the image data according to the code. A printhead interface is connected to the processor to receive processed image data from the processor and to generate print data. A printhead is connected to the printhead interface to print processed images.
