Abstract:
A method of performing an image forming operation using user information, the method including receiving domain information of a user and performing user authentication using the received domain information; receiving a request for the image forming operation after successfully performing the user authentication; querying a lightweight directory access protocol (LDAP) server using the domain information used for the user authentication to acquire user information necessary for performing the image forming operation; and performing the image forming operation using the user information acquired by querying the LDAP server.
Abstract:
A host apparatus, a device, and a method to setup a folder share service. A controller to control displaying a user interface (UI) screen to select a device using the folder share service and a shared folder, and a UI screen to set permissions of the selected shared folder corresponding to at least one added user account and to set store options of a file to be stored to the shared folder in a display. A first communication portion transmits setup information of the user account to the device.
Abstract:
A file editing method of an image forming apparatus is provided and includes detecting image data included in a image file and generating a first raw data from the image file, scanning an image and generating a second raw data from the scanned image, combining the generated second raw data and the first raw data, and converting the combined first and second raw data into an image file to generate a new image file.
Abstract:
A method of searching for peripheral image forming apparatuses by using a server that is connected to a host apparatus in which one or more printer application programs (PAP) are installed. The method includes: if a printer management program (PMP) search method is selected as a search method, invoking a PMP installed in the server; receiving from the PMP a search list including one or more image forming apparatuses connectable to the host apparatus; and selecting an image forming apparatus from the search list and connecting the selected image forming apparatus to the host apparatus.
Abstract:
A method of managing an image forming apparatus provided with a web server includes receiving a connection request for the web server, determining whether a MAC (Media Access Control) address of a user terminal device that has requested the connection is a pre-stored MAC address, and approving the connection of the user terminal device that has requested the connection to the web server if it is determined that the MAC address of the user terminal device that has requested the connection has been pre-stored.
