20090316232 | IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS, IMAGE FORMING SYSTEM, AND IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD - A correction of a deviation in the sub-scanning direction of a scan line accompanied by a correction of a main scan positional deviation of each sheet feeding port is insufficient. According to the present technique, therefore, the positional deviation in the sub-scanning direction of an image to be printed is corrected by using a correction amount regarding the main scan positional deviation which is decided based on an adjustment value of a print position of the sheet feeding port and information of the positional deviation in the sub-scanning direction of an image forming apparatus. | 12-24-2009 |
20110258697 | IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS AND USER AUTHENTICATION METHOD FOR IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS - An image processing apparatus includes a first authentication unit configured to authenticate a user, a second authentication unit configured to authenticate the user, an operation unit configured to receive an operation from the user, a logout unit configured to set the user in a logout state in which the user is unauthenticated, if a predetermined time has passed without the operation unit receiving any operation from the user while the user is authenticated by the first authentication unit or the second authentication unit, and a change unit configured to change the predetermined time to a second time shorter than a first time, if the user is unauthenticated by the second authentication unit while the user is authenticated by the first authentication unit and the second authentication unit. | 10-20-2011 |
20110265144 | IMAGE SENDING APPARATUS AND AUTHENTICATION METHOD IN IMAGE SENDING APPARATUS - An image sending apparatus includes a first authentication unit configured to perform processing for first authentication to authenticate a user, a storage unit configured to store authentication information used when the first authentication unit authenticates the user, a sending unit capable of sending image data by a plurality of kinds of sending methods, a destination setting unit configured to set a destination to which the sending unit sends the image data, a second authentication unit configured to perform processing for second authentication required for the sending unit to send the image data to the destination set by the destination setting unit, and a determination unit configured to determine whether to use the authentication information stored in the storage unit when the second authentication unit performs the processing for the second authentication, based on the sending method by which the sending unit sends the image data to the destination. | 10-27-2011 |
20110271324 | COMMUNICATION APPARATUS CAPABLE OF RESTRICTING DESTINATION OF TRANSMISSION BY AUTHENTICATED USER, METHOD OF CONTROLLING THE COMMUNICATION APPARATUS, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A communication apparatus having a transmission function for transmitting data to another apparatus using a transmission protocol selected from a plurality of transmission protocols. A multifunction printer (MFP) implementing the communication apparatus authenticates a user, and acquires destination information associated with the authenticated user. The MFP permits the use of a specific transmission protocol for transmission using the acquired destination information, and restricts the use of the specific transmission protocol for transmission using other destination information. Further, the MFP permits display of destination information matching the acquired destination information, but restricts display of other destination information, among destination information stored in a hard disk in association with the specific transmission protocol. | 11-03-2011 |
20130100480 | PRINTER, CONTROL METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A printer performing printing for a cloud print server that provides a print service includes an acquisition unit, a determination unit, a flag enabling unit, a request unit, and a control unit. The acquisition unit acquires a job list from the cloud print server. The determination unit determines presence/absence of a job including a valid PIN code. A valid PIN code indicates that the job is to be secure printed. The flag enabling unit does not enable a suspension flag in response to determining the absence of the job, and enables the suspension flag in response to determining the presence of the job. The request unit requests input of a PIN code if the suspension flag is enabled when the acquisition unit acquires the job list again. The control unit controls printing of the job to be secure printed based on the input PIN code. | 04-25-2013 |
