具体实施方式
在附图中，标号10泛指本发明的用于记录和生成图象的设备；
所述设备10包括一个打印装置12。所述打印装置12有一个托架14，所述托架14的尺寸设置使得打印装置12的尺寸与一个PCMCIA存储卡的尺寸相近。具体的说，所述打印装置12的尺寸与一个PCMCIA III型存储卡的尺寸相近。我们知道，PCMCIA是为各种尺寸不同的PC卡设定参数的个人电脑存储卡国际协会(Personal Computer Memory CardInternational Association)的首字母缩写词。PCMCIA III型存储卡标准尺寸大致为长度86mm，宽度54mm，厚度11mm。
所述托架14包括一个加长的、大体上为矩形的支承结构16。所述支承结构16包括一个主体部分18，所述主体部分的一端有一个托盘20，与之相对的所述主体部分18的另一端有一个PCMCIA型连接器22。在所述托盘20上装有一个打印头组件24。所述打印头组件24包括一个横跨如标号28所指打印区域的打印头26。所述打印头组件24在图4中有较详细的描述。打印头26包括至少一个打印头芯片27，所述打印头芯片27是采用集成电路制造技术制造的。更进一步的，所述的每个打印头芯片在上述的美国专利申请US 09/425,419中进行了描述。
所述打印头26上安装有一个墨水分配装置30。所述墨水分配装置30在美国专利申请(案卷号YU140)中进行了描述，在此处加以引用。所示墨水分配装置30包括一个墨水存储与供给结构29，所述墨水存储与供给结构29与一个多路传输机构31相通。所述多路传输机构31与打印头芯片27通信，以便向打印头芯片27的喷嘴装置供应墨水。所示墨水存储与供给结构29包括一对外墨水贮存器33和两排位于外墨水贮存器33之间的墨水存储管路35。
所述多路传输机构31包括两排供应管路37。每个供应管路37与相应的存储管路35相通。如图4所示，墨水存储与供给结构29和多路传输机构31一起设定多个墨水供应通道，所述墨水供应通道在靠近打印头芯片27的区域逐渐减少。
所述打印头组件24包括安装在托盘20上的微处理器32形式的控制电路。匹配的微处理器在上述的美国专利申请US 09/113,053中有详细的描述。
所述打印头组件24还包括一个和齿轮箱36传动相连的电机34。电机的运转带动齿轮箱36的运转，也由微处理器32控制。一个主进给滚轮38安装在打印区域28的传进侧，与齿轮箱36相连，并由齿轮箱36驱动。在打印区域28的传出侧有一个次进给滚轮40。
所述支承结构16包括一个底盘42。所述底盘42包括一个进给板44，和一对相对的侧扣板46和一个位于其上的前扣板48。所述的侧扣板46用于扣住主体部分18的侧壁50和托盘20的前端52。
一对分开的定位夹54位于进给板44的尾部56，以与设定在PCMCIA型连接器22的每一边的辅助结构58相接合。
所述打印装置12包括一个可以安装在打印头组件24上的盖元件60，以保护打印头组件24。
一个储纸盒62形式的介质供应盒的可以安装在主体部分18上。储备的纸张64，其中一个以66标出，可以存放在储纸盒62中。所述储纸盒62包括一个背盘68，在使用中，储备的纸张64贴着背盘68放置。从背盘68的主体伸出两个侧壁70。在背盘68和侧壁70上安装有一个后盖78。更进一步，在背盘68和侧壁70上还安装有一个前盖80。从图2和图3可以看到，在背盘68的进给端82有一个定位夹84。所述的定位夹84的作用在于，在纸张66被从储备的纸张64处传送到打印区域28时，把储备的纸张64保持在储纸盒62中。
所述背盘设有一对加力元件86。所述的加力元件86是偏斜的，使得储备的纸张64放置在储纸盒62中时，储备的纸张64偏向进给板44。前盖80和盖元件60带有辅助接合结构88，所述辅助接合结构88使得储纸盒62可以与盖元件60接合。在此位置，主进给滚轮38夹紧纸张66，当主进给滚轮38旋转时，纸张66被送至打印区域28。盖元件60和托盘20一起界定一个出纸槽89，打印后的纸张从此槽传出。
在图11中示意性地指明了打印装置12的各种元件。可以看到，PCMCIA型连接器22通过一根匹配的数据总线90连接到微处理器32。所述数据总线90也用于连接微处理器32和打印头26。这样，通过PCMCIA型连接件22接收到的图象数据可以传输给微处理器32，微处理器32可以控制打印头26的运转，在纸张66上打印图象。
设备10还包括一个图象记录设备92。所述的图象记录设备92包括一个封套94形式的外壳，打印装置12装在所述封套94中一直到盖元件60处。从图中可以看到，打印装置12的大约三分之二位于封套94中。更进一步地，盖元件60和进给板44相应部分的尺寸在横向上与封套94的横向尺寸相匹配。因此，设备10的整体尺寸只比一个PCMCIA III型卡大1/3。这样，很容易理解此种尺寸的设备可以方便地放在外衣口袋中。
所述图象记录设备92带有置于其中的一个取景器96。所述取景器96包括一个目镜98，通过目镜98，使用者可以选定需要拍摄的图象。靠近目镜98有一个摄像机镜头100用于提供需要记录的聚焦后的图象。所述摄像机镜头100位于一个基于CMOS的图象传感装置的前面，在此实施例中，所述图象传感装置是一个主动式象素传感器102。
所述主动式象素传感器102通过一根匹配的数据总线106连接在一个微处理器104上。从图11可以容易地看出这些元件之间的相互连接关系。
所述数据总线106同时用于把所述主动式象素传感器102和一个存储设备108连接起来。
使用者通过以通常的方式按下拍照按键110，操作所述图象记录设备108。所述拍照按键110与微处理器104相连，按下拍照按键110，所述微处理器104向主动式象素传感器102发出一个控制信号，以拍摄所需图象。然后，此幅图象的数据被存储在存储设备108中。
使用者通过按下与打印微处理器32相连的打印按键120，操纵所述打印装置12。在按键120被按下时，所述微处理器32控制打印头组件24运转来打印已记录的图象。
所述图象记录设备操作的详细情况在美国专利申请US 09/113,053中有详细的描述，包括上述内容。因此，在本说明书中不再对图象记录设备的操作进行详细的描述。
所述图象记录设备92包括一个位于封套94上的附加的PCMCIA型连接器112，所述连接器112在打印装置12插入到图象记录设备92中时与PCMCIA型连接器22插接。
所述数据总线106也用于把微处理器104和存储设备108连接到附加的PCMCIA型连接器112，使得捕捉到的图象的数据能够被发送到打印装置12的微处理器32。
所述打印装置12和图象记录设备92都包括一个PCMCIA型连接接口124，以控制数据在PCMCIA型连接器22和112之间的传送。
由114所指代的、安装在封套94中的电池，为设备10中各种元件的运转提供能量。并设有一个电池盖116保护位于封套94中的电池114。封套94的较小的相对侧壁122中设有导向结构118。主体部分18的侧壁50安装在相应的导向结构118中，可以滑动，以便于打印装置12和图象记录设备92的相互连接。
本申请人相信通过本发明提供的方法，可以得到一种结构紧凑的图象记录设备，或者说一种集成了打印机的照相机。特别是，所述设备只比PCMCIA III型存储卡大百分之三十或四十左右。基于袖珍照相机受到普遍欢迎，本申请人相信这将是一个很大的优点。
