20090316185 | BILLING AND PRINTING SYSTEM, IMAGE FORMING DEVICE, AND JOB PROCESSING METHOD FOR THE IMAGE FORMING DEVICE - Under a contention between a copy job and a print job, it is possible that a general user misunderstands that the payment he has made for the copy job is mistakenly used on the print job requested by another user. One solution to avoid such undesirable possibility is to display information indicating that the billing process is correctly done. Yet, the general user may fail to notice the display. In view of this, a billing and printing system prevents occurrence of job contention as long as the balance of payment made by a general user remains. An MFP included in the system does not accept any print job if a balance of received payment remains, and does not accept any payment if there is a queued print job. | 12-24-2009 |
20100296123 | IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS CONVENIENT FOR USER WHEN EXECUTABLE JOB IS RESTRICTED DUE TO MAINTENANCE OPERATION, METHOD FOR CONTROLLING IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS AND RECODING MEDIUM RECORDING CONTROL PROGRAM OF IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - It is determined whether the service mode is turned off. When it is determined that the service mode is turned off, the remote access job history is checked. A CPU then determines whether there is an unexecuted job. When determining that there is an unexecuted job, the CPU inquires of the PC providing an instruction to execute the job whether to re-execute the job. The CPU then determines whether an instruction to re-execute the unexecuted job has been accepted. When determining that an instruction to re-execute the unexecuted job has been accepted, the CPU re-executes the unexecuted job. | 11-25-2010 |
