20110078789 | IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS, METHOD FOR CONTROLLING IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS, AND PROGRAM - The purpose of the present invention is to add a user restriction function with use of a card by a simple structure even with an inexpensive image forming apparatus. A CPU of an image forming apparatus determines a port of a signal acquired from a card R/W at the time of initialization of the connected IC card R/W. Then, the CPU of the image forming apparatus controls an execution or a stop of an application for performing authentication service processing corresponding to the port of the signal received from the card R/W. | 03-31-2011 |
20110267636 | IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS AND IMAGE FORMING METHOD - If an MFP has not received setting information from a server at startup, it refers to setting information stored in a nonvolatile storage unit which stores setting information received in the last operation. This enables the MFP to start with some functions available in accordance with the last setting information referred to, while the MFP waits for reception of setting information at startup. | 11-03-2011 |
20110267647 | IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS, SERVER APPARATUS, IMAGE FORMING SYSTEM, AND CONTROL METHOD - Upon reception of print jobs from a host, an application server holds the print jobs, saves a price list, and calculates the cost to output the print jobs based on the price list and the setting information of the received print jobs. The server transmits the cost information and print jobs to a print apparatus which outputs the print jobs. The print apparatus displays the received cost information on an operation unit to make a user determine whether to output the print jobs prior to output of the jobs. | 11-03-2011 |
20140320890 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR RESETTING A COUNTER ASSOCIATED WITH A COMPONENT OF AN IMAGE PROCESSING DEVICE - Embodiments of the invention include receiving information indicating a component of an image processing device has been installed on the image processing device. Status information associated with the component is stored, the status information indicating the component has been installed on the image processing device. Information is received which indicates an operation performed on the image processing device is completed. In response to receiving the information indicating the operation performed on the image processing device is completed, the component is identified based on the status information. A counter associated with the component is identified and it is determined whether the counter has been reset. In response to determining that the counter has not been reset, an interface element is presented in a graphical user interface on a display of the image processing device, the interface element enabling a user to reset the counter by selecting the interface element. | 10-30-2014 |

20080218795 | IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS AND CONTROL METHOD THEREOF - When a storage medium is connected to an MFP, it is determined whether or not the connected storage medium stores data. If it is determined that the storage medium does not store any data for printing, a setting dialog of scanning processing of an original using a scanner is automatically displayed, and the scanning processing of an original is started so as to store the image data corresponding to the original into the storage medium. | 09-11-2008 |
20100149577 | IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, METHOD FOR CONTROLLING THE SAME, AND COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM STORING COMPUTER PROGRAM - An image processing apparatus including a selecting unit adapted to select an information processing apparatus displayed by a displaying unit, and a transmitting unit adapted to transmit data generated when the reading unit reads an original document in accordance with a reading setting specified by the selected information processing apparatus in accordance with identification information included in notification information transmitted from the information processing apparatus. | 06-17-2010 |
20100208296 | IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS AND CONTROL METHOD THEREFOR, SERVER APPARATUS AND CONTROL METHOD THEREFOR, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - An image processing apparatus enabling to simplify operations for exchange and setting of configuration information between an apparatus directed to a user and external apparatus. A request unit requests the external apparatus to output information stored in the external apparatus. A determination unit determines whether or not information to be output from the external apparatus is information that can be set as configuration information for the image processing apparatus, based on a response from the external apparatus to the request from the request unit. A presentation unit presents a user with a setup ordering button for the user to order setting of information output from the external apparatus as configuration information for the image processing apparatus if the determination unit determines that the information to be output from the external apparatus is information that can be set as configuration information for the image processing apparatus. | 08-19-2010 |
20100208300 | IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, SERVER APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD THEREFOR, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - An image processing apparatus that makes it possible to exchange setting information by easy operations, thus improving convenience for users. The image processing apparatus is connected to an external device via a network. Screen information including a display for inputting information to the external device and instructing to set the inputted information as setting information on the external device is requested from the external device. An operational screen is displayed based on a response from the external device in response to the request. A user is provided with a display for instructing to set setting information currently set in the image processing apparatus as setting information on the external device when the operational screen is displayed. | 08-19-2010 |
