Abstract:
An image forming apparatus includes an extension connection portion, a server board that is mounted to the extension connection portion and communicates, via an external communication port, with a management server that is provided at an exterior, a communication control portion that communicates, by using an internal communication port, with a collection object apparatus that is connected to a local network and from which information is to be collected, and a control portion that performs control so that the communication control portion collects predetermined apparatus information from the collection object apparatus and so that the server board transmits the apparatus information thus collected toward the management server.
Abstract:
An image forming apparatus includes: a facsimile portion that transmits and receives data through a telephone line with an outside; a power supply portion that supplies power to the facsimile portion; and a power-saving control portion that is connected to a communication line other than the telephone line and that controls a power supply mode of the power supply portion. When the power supply mode is an off mode, the power supply portion stops the supply of power to the facsimile portion. When a connection state determination portion determines that the connection to the telephone line is disconnected, the power-saving control portion controls a transfer to the off mode based on whether or not a notification of information for making a determination on the transfer to the off mode is provided from an information output device connected to the image forming apparatus through the communication line.
Abstract:
An image forming apparatus is made to be usable by a greater number of portable terminal apparatuses than a limited number of terminals. In an image forming system, a first portable terminal apparatus is registered in the image forming apparatus so as to be able to transmit job requests to the image forming apparatus using a specified peer-to-peer communication method, however a second portable terminal apparatus is not registered. The image forming apparatus, (a) reads by an image reading apparatus a device ID of the first portable terminal apparatus and a device ID of the second terminal apparatus. Then, the image forming apparatus, (b) transmits the device ID of the second portable terminal apparatus to the first portable terminal apparatus using the peer-to-peer communication method. The first portable terminal apparatus, (a) correlates the received device ID of the second portable terminal apparatus with the first portable terminal apparatus, and registers the device ID in the server. Then, the first portable terminal apparatus, (b) receives a job request that is issued by the second portable terminal apparatus, and transmits that job request to the image forming apparatus using the peer-to-peer communication method. The server transmits the job request received from the second portable terminal apparatus to the first portable terminal apparatus that is correlated with the device ID of that second portable terminal apparatus.
Abstract:
An image forming apparatus includes a power supply connected to any one of L conductors of a three-phase four-wire alternating current power supply and to a neutral conductor of the three-phase four-wire alternating current power supply, a communication I/F unit connected to another apparatus via a cable, a determination circuit configured to output a determination signal indicating whether or not there is a miswired wall outlet, which includes the neutral conductor and a grounding conductor erroneously connected, in a building, and a control unit configured to display, on a display panel, a message on miswiring when it is identified that the miswired wall outlet is present based on the determination signal.
