Abstract: A document scanning device reads an image on a document while scanning the image, and generates image data based on the image. The document scanning device selects and sets a scanning speed in accordance with a transfer mode used when the document scanning device transfers the image data to another apparatus. The document scanning device controls the amount of generated image data by using the set scanning speed to successively read the image, whereby optimal transfer processing in accordance with the transfer mode can be performed. By switching a transfer path in accordance with the type of the read data, i.e., binary data per pixel or multilevel data per pixel, efficient data transfer can be performed.

Abstract: In data transfer in isochronous mode using an IEEE1394 serial bus, the data transfer rate is guaranteed, but data transfer is disabled if the number of channels is insufficient. An already assigned channel is released by lowering the data transfer rate currently using that channel, and the released channel is assigned to new data transfer, thus allowing the new data transfer.

Abstract translation: 在使用IEEE1394串行总线的同步模式进行数据传输时，数据传输速率得到保证，但是如果通道数不足，则禁止数据传输。 通过降低当前使用该通道的数据传输速率来释放已经分配的通道，并且将释放的通道分配给新的数据传输，从而允许新的数据传输。

Abstract: A network configuration file is generated at a host computer and downloaded to a digital camera. This file contains instruction information for communicating with a selected destination via a communications interface. The digital camera includes a nullsendnull button or LCD icon which allows the user to easily transmit one or more images via a wired or wireless communications interface to a desired destination, which among other possibilities may be an Internet Service Provider or a digital photofinishing center. When the user selects this option, the communications port settings, user account specifics, and destination connection commands are read from the network configuration file on the removable memory card. Examples of these settings include serial port baud rate, parity, and stop bits, as well as account name and password.

Abstract: A method and system for monitoring, controlling and diagnosing operation of a machine such as a business office machine including a facsimile machine, a copier, and a printer. When the speed of communication between the remote device and machine is not urgent, a connectionless mode of communication may be used. The form of connectionless communication is an electronic mail message transmitted over the Internet. However, when a condition needs urgent action, a direct connection is used for communication such as communication via a telephone or ISDN line. The information obtained from the machine is stored in one or more data bases within a company and information of the machine is shared between a service department, engineering and design department, manufacturing department, and marketing department. As communication over the Internet via electronic mail is not secure, the connectionless-mode messages transmitted using Internet electronic mail are encrypted.

Abstract: An Internet facsimile apparatus makes inquiry about capability, which a destination possesses, to a local server. The server is connected to the same LAN as that of the Internet facsimile apparatus. When the local server has no capability information of the destination, the Internet facsimile apparatus makes inquiry to a DNS server and obtains capability information. Then, the Internet facsimile apparatus makes an image to be suitable for the capability of the destination and transmits it to the destination via the Internet. As a result, the Internet facsimile apparatus on a transmitter side can surely obtain capability information of a destination terminal, thereby making it possible to carry out the same capability exchange as that of G3 facsimile apparatus.

Abstract: In transmitting enciphered data, to enable an ECM communication, whether a cipher communication is performed or not can be decided according to an available memory capacity. To perform the cipher communication, whether the available capacity of a RAM 4 is sufficient for one frame or not is determined. When the available capacity X.sub.0 of the RAM 4 is larger than a memory capacity X necessary for the cipher communication according to an ECM communications method, the cipher communication is executed. When the available capacity X.sub.0 of the RAM 4 is smaller than the memory capacity X necessary for the cipher communication according to the ECM communications method, it is determined that the cipher communication is impossible, and the communications mode is changed to the normal transmission according to the G3 communication.
