Abstract:
A print control system 1 has a control server 10 that transmits print data, and a printer 12 that communicates with the control server 10 through an asynchronous duplex communication path, receives print data sent by the control server 10 through the communication path, and prints based on the received data.
Abstract:
A data processing apparatus determines whether or not administrator authority of a user is set, and whether access is made locally or from the network. When the access is made locally, even if the user has the administrator authority, folders of all users are not displayed. The folders of all users are displayed only when the user having the administrator authority accesses from the network.
Abstract:
An input display apparatus includes the following elements. A display unit has a display area. A receiver receives plural types of gestures which are performed on the display area. A setting unit sets plural settings for an apparatus in accordance with the types of gestures received by the receiver. A display controller controls the display unit to display at least one of the plural settings and gesture guidance information for guiding an input of a gesture which is associated with the setting to be displayed.
Abstract:
According to the present invention, when a terminal apparatus is brought close to a printing apparatus serving as a processing apparatus, the terminal apparatus uses its own NFC unit to acquire, from the printing apparatus, information for communicating with each of one or more network connection units provided in the printing apparatus. Then, using a communication unit, the terminal apparatus then searches for the printing apparatus on a network in accordance with the acquired information. In the case where the terminal apparatus has successfully identified the printing apparatus as being present on the network, the terminal apparatus transmits a processing request to the printing apparatus successfully identified on the network via the communication unit.
Abstract:
Disclosed is an operation display device for carrying out a setting relating to an image forming device, including: a display device; an operating unit to receive an operation for starting a scroll display of a list in which a plurality of display items are listed, on a screen of the display device; and a control unit to control the scroll display so as to set a speed of the scroll display to a slow speed which is slower than a normal speed when the display item which satisfies a predetermined condition is displayed on the screen after the scroll display of the list is started by receiving the operation, wherein each display item has a plurality of attributes, and the control unit controls the scroll display in accordance with a satisfaction situation of the predetermined condition with respect to each of the plurality of attributes.
Abstract:
An image forming apparatus transmits, when a function which cooperates with a function providing apparatus is added, information on the added function to a management server, and changes a failure monitoring setting according to the returned monitoring condition. If a failure occurs, the image forming apparatus generates, if the failure is attributable to the function providing apparatus, failure information indicating that the failure is attributable to the function providing apparatus, and otherwise, the image forming apparatus generates failure information on the failure to transmit to the management server. Upon receiving the information on the added function from the image forming apparatus, the management server returns the monitoring condition corresponding to the added function to arrange for maintenance of the image forming apparatus. If the failure is attributable to the function providing apparatus, the management server does not arrange for maintenance of the image forming apparatus.
Abstract:
An electronic document generation system includes an image forming apparatus that generates a scanned image of an original document, and an external terminal that generates an electronic document based on image data regarding the scanned image received from the image forming apparatus. The image forming apparatus includes an auxiliary data generation unit that generates auxiliary data to be used in processing for generating the electronic document, and a communication unit that transmits the auxiliary data to the external terminal. The external terminal includes a document generation unit that uses the auxiliary data received from the image forming apparatus to generate the electronic document based on the image data regarding the scanned image in cooperation with an external cooperative device different from the external terminal. The document generation unit generates the electronic document by complementing the result of processing performed on the image data with the auxiliary data.
Abstract:
An image forming system includes a transmitter apparatus that transmits, to a predetermined storage location of multiple storage locations, identification information identifying a user and image data associated with the identification information, and multiple image forming apparatuses. Each of the image forming apparatuses includes a first storage unit that stores storage information indicating the storage locations, a storage location that is included in the storage locations and stores the identification information and the image data associated with the identification information, a retrieval unit that accesses the storage locations, indicated by the storage information stored on the first storage unit, when the identification information is inputted by the user, and retrieves the image data from the storage location, and an image forming unit that forms an image corresponding to the image data retrieved by the retrieval unit.
Abstract:
In an image forming device adapted to acquire image data and distribute the image data, a storage unit stores respective plug-in modules of an input process, an image transforming process, and an output process with respect to the image data. A combining information acquisition unit acquires combining information including plug-in identifiers which respectively indicate the plug-in modules. A combining unit combines two or more of the plug-in modules to generate a virtual plug-in based on the combining information. A flow setting unit sets up a workflow in which the plug-in modules including the virtual plug-in are combined arbitrarily. A workflow control unit controls processes included in the workflow when a message distribution process based on the workflow is requested.
Abstract:
A browser based scanning utility is provided that includes an applet delivery module for delivering a scanning applet to a web browser. A browser based capture application executes the scanning applet using the browser. The browser based capture application initiates a call. A web scanning module receives the call and activates one or more scanners for scanning one or more documents into specific image files. The web scanning module uploads the specific images to a document capture server for storage and maintenance.
