Abstract:
When a multicast instruction is input, a facsimile apparatus transmits an input plurality of sub-addresses together with image data to a repeater in a single communication transaction. Thus, effective communication can be performed.
Abstract:
A pickup roller is movable in a vertical direction and pulls out papers to the paper feed rollers, is provided. The pickup roller moves down towards the papers stacked on the paper tray. A front edge alignment member that aligns the front edge of the papers and a stopper that controls rotation of the front edge alignment member engages the front edge alignment member. A stopper release member pivots the stopper to release it from the front edge alignment member in synchronization to the up and down movement of the pickup roller.
Abstract:
An IFAX on a transmitting end gains access to an ISP on the transmitting end by dialup. The IFAX on the transmitting end transmits mail transmission notice to an IFAX on a receiving end via a PSTN after transmitting e-mail to the ISP on the transmitting end. Thereafter, the IFAX on the receiving end gains access to an ISP on the receiving end by dialup in accordance with mail transmission notice and receives e-mail stored in its own postbox. The mail transmission notice is performed using a facsimile communication protocol. The mail transmission notice includes at least one of transmission finished notice information, sent data information, and receiving information. This eliminates the unavailing mail check connection and reduces access charge at a dialup IFAX of the Internet facsimile.
Abstract:
Recording sheet-type information employed in a special use is set beforehand in a printing apparatus. An information processing apparatus connected the printing apparatus through predetermined communication media inquires of the recording sheet-type information set in the printing apparatus. Since the recording sheet-type information is informed from the printing apparatus, the information processing apparatus indicates the recording sheet-type information informed from the printing apparatus.
Abstract:
An image processor for reproducing a continuous tone image such as a photograph in a black-and-white binary dot image (halftone image) has a linear correction section for converting a sampled digital image signal in a predetermined manner controlled by black and white densities of an original, thereby performing linear conversion between the continuous tone image and the halftone image. The image processor also has another correction section for performing profile emphasis to obtain a clear halftone image.
Abstract:
A facsimile communication system for compressing, transmitting and reproducing facsimile information is provided, wherein a transmitter includes a correlation detector. When a first facsimile information scanned along a first scanning line has a low pattern density, the correlation detector determines by discrimination that at least one successive facsimile information, for example a second facsimile information scanned along a second scanning line adjacent to the first scanning line, should be abridged. Then, the transmitter compresses the first facsimile information and a third facsimile information contained in a third scanning line, and the compressed first and third facsimile informations are transmitted to a remote receiver. The remote receiver also includes a correlation detector and the correlation detector determines by discrimination that the compression-demodulated first facsimile information has a low pattern density. Then, the remote receiver supplies the first facsimile information to a recording device when it scans a first scanning line and further, repeated first facsimile information is supplied to at least one successive scanning line, for example, to a second scanning line. Thereafter, the compression-demodulated third facsimile information is supplied to the recording device when it scans a third scanning line.
Abstract:
In a band compression method using an adaptive prediction system preferably applicable to facsimile transmission, a method of selecting picture elements to be referred (hereinafter defined as reference picture elements) for predicting an information value of a picture element wherein the reference picture elements are not selected uniformly and continuously from the neighborhood of the predicted picture element, but a group of picture elements (the first order picture elements) adjacent to the predicted picture element and further a group of picture elements of equal or higher order than the third order are selected as reference picture elements by excluding those shaded picture elements which lie on lines connecting the predicted picture element and the first order picture elements.
