A method for preparing a layered perovskite compound thin film having a film thickness and structure controlled at a monomolecular layer and capable of combining various layered perovskite compounds at the level of a monomolecular layer. The method a superlattice structure represented by the general formula A2MX4 where A is an organic ammonium molecule, M is a group 4 element or transition metal and X is halogen layers of organic ammonium molecule "A" and layers of inorganic halide "MX4" are alternately stacked. A monomolecular film of an organic amine hydrohalic acid salt having a long-chain alkyl group is spread out on the surface of a water solution of an inorganic halide MX2 and a methylamine hydrohalic acid salt. By leaving the monomolecular film, a layered perovskite compound monomolecular film is formed on the surface of the water solution. This layered perovskite monomolecular film is transferred and stacked onto a substrate on a one by one basis by using the Langmuir-Blodgett method.

An image processing device connected to a scanner unit for generating a first image signal has a first bidirectional interface for receiving a second image signal from an external computer and a second bidirectional interface for transmitting the first or second image signal to a printer unit. The second bidirectional interface receives a first status signal related to the printer unit and the first bidirectional interface transmits the first status signal and a second status signal related to the scanner unit to the external computer. Therefore, the external computer, which is able to process image data to be printed by the printer unit, can be advised of the status of the printer unit without being directly connected thereto. Therefore, in a first copy mode, the computer can process the image data, while in a second copy mode, the device itself can process the image data.
