20110229027 | IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD, AND COMPUTER-READABLE MEDIUM - An image processing apparatus comprises: a division unit which divides the input image data into blocks each including a predetermined number of pixels; a determination unit which determines whether the number of colors that is the number of types of colors of the pixels included in the block is not less than a predetermined number; a pseudo halftone processing unit which performs pseudo halftone processing of image data for the block if the number of colors in the block is not less than the predetermined number; an acquisition unit which acquires a color arrangement and color information in each of the block, in which the determination unit determines that the number of colors is less than the predetermined number, and the block having undergone the pseudo halftone processing; and a storage unit which stores the color arrangement and the color information, acquired, for each block. | 09-22-2011 |
20110317913 | IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD AND COMPUTER-READABLE MEDIUM - An image processing apparatus which applies processing to image data encoded by an encoding method that encodes image data by holding, for each block including the predetermined number of pixels, color information and color layout information included in that block, the apparatus comprises: a detection unit configured to detect a region including successive pixels having identical color information, the number of pixels of which is larger than a predetermined value, using the color information and the color layout information in the encoded image data; and a conversion unit configured to convert color information of a pixel corresponding to a predetermined position in the region, and layout information of a block including the pixel at the predetermined position, of a plurality of blocks including the region detected by the detection unit. | 12-29-2011 |
20120075666 | IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, DATA PROCESSING METHOD OF IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - In an image processing apparatus that generates image data from drawing information, compresses the image data and stores the data in a memory, it is determined whether the data amount of the image data exceeds an amount of a difference between an amount of space securable in the memory and a first threshold determined from the amount of the memory available in the memory. If a CPU determines that the amount of the image data exceeds the amount of the difference from the first threshold, the CPU performs a fake compression processing for compressing the image data by a compression unit without storing the image data in the memory. If the CPU determines that the amount of the image data does not exceed the amount of the difference from the first threshold, the CPU performs a compression processing for compressing the image data by a compression unit. | 03-29-2012 |
20150063840 | IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - An image forming apparatus includes a dot count unit configured to count a number of dots of print data, a first toner remaining amount value calculation unit configured to, in a case where received print data satisfies a printing condition, calculate a toner remaining amount value for the print data based on the number of dots obtained by the dot count unit, and a second toner remaining amount value calculation unit configured to, in a case where the received print data does not satisfy the printing condition, set a predetermined toner remaining amount value as the toner remaining amount value for the print data. | 03-05-2015 |

20080224378 | IMAGE-FORMING APPARATUS AND CONTROL METHOD THEREOF - When a first feeding unit is not ready to perform air feeding at the beginning of a print job, roll feeding using a second feeding unit is performed; when it is determined that the first feeding unit is ready to preform air feeding, air feeding using the first feeding unit is preformed. Upon execution of a print job by roll feeding, a preparation is started to make the first feeding unit ready to air feeding. When the first feeding unit is ready to execute the print job by air feeding, the print job is executed by exchanging roll feeding to air feeding using the first feeding unit. | 09-18-2008 |
20080226370 | IMAGE-FORMING APPARATUS AND CONTROL METHOD THEREOF - In a case that it is determined that a first feeding unit is not ready to feed upon designation of a first print job that requires air feeding, start of the first print job is waited until the first feeding unit is ready to feed. In a case that a second print job that requires roll feeding is accepted during waiting for the first print job, the second print job is executed, and the first print job that requires air feeding is executed after completion of the second print job. | 09-18-2008 |
20110170126 | IMAGE-FORMING APPARATUS AND CONTROL METHOD THEREOF - In a case that it is determined that a first feeding unit is not ready to feed upon designation of a first print job that requires air feeding, start of the first print job is waited until the first feeding unit is ready to feed. In a case that a second print job that requires roll feeding is accepted during waiting for the first print job, the second print job is executed, and the first print job that requires air feeding is executed after completion of the second print job. | 07-14-2011 |
