20090189330 | Medium Feed Control in an Image Forming Apparatus - A method of controlling medium feeding in an image forming apparatus includes an image forming step of forming an image on a medium in response to an image forming request, and a feed control step of selecting one of a plurality of first medium feed units that feeds a medium corresponding to attribute information that matches medium attribute information included in the image forming request, and of selecting a second medium feed unit upon finding matching between attribute information indicative of a medium fed by the second medium feed unit and the medium attribute information included in the image forming request if none of the first medium feed units feeds a medium corresponding to the attribute information that matches the medium attribute information included in the image forming request. | 07-30-2009 |
20090190936 | Image Forming Device, Printing Medium Supplying Method, and Computer-Readable Recording Medium - In an image forming device including a control unit to control the image forming device to perform a job of image formation, the control unit is arranged so that, when a size of a printing medium detected by a detection unit is not in agreement with a printing medium size indicated by information contained in a printing request, the control unit causes the printing medium to be ejected from the image forming device without causing an image formation unit to form an image on the printing medium, and causes an image holding unit to hold data of the image. | 07-30-2009 |
20090230607 | Image forming apparatus and computer program product - An image forming apparatus selects a printing sheet of a size according to a printing condition when printing an image. The image forming apparatus includes a setting unit that sets a target printing sheet on a feed source that can feed recording sheets of a plurality of sizes. | 09-17-2009 |
20090232520 | Image forming apparatus - An image forming apparatus is disclosed that includes image forming means receiving at least MICR print data and forming an image of the data to be printed, determination means determining whether received data are authentication-requiring MICR print data that require performing a password authentication process or normal MICR print data that do not require performing the password authentication process, accumulation means accumulating the data to be printed, and control means reading the authentication-requiring MICR print data from the accumulation means at a predetermined timing and causing the image forming means to form an image of the authentication-requiring MICR print data. | 09-17-2009 |
20120069356 | Image forming apparatus, image forming method, and computer program product - An image forming apparatus includes: a storage unit that stores print data and transformation data transformed into a printable format by reflecting a print condition on the print data; a detection unit that detects an error when the transformation data stored in the storage unit is printed; a decision unit that decides a resolution print condition which is a print condition for resolving an error based on a content of the error and a device state when the error is detected; a transformation unit that acquires the print data from the storage unit and transforms the acquired print data into transformation data on which the decided resolution print condition is reflected; and a print control unit that prints the transformation data transformed by the transformation unit. | 03-22-2012 |
20120188601 | IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS, METHOD OF CONTROLLING IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS, AND PROGRAM FOR CONTROLLING IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - An image forming apparatus stores billing information depending on a formation and output of an image. The apparatus includes a page information acquiring unit that acquires page information written in PDL, a page information analysis unit that analyzes the page information and outputs a drawing command for performing the formation and output of the image for each of a plurality of regions divided from a unit page, a drawing information generating unit that generates drawing information for performing the formation and output of the image on the basis of the drawing command, a billing amount determining unit that judges whether an image to be drawn is contained in each of the divided regions and determines a billing amount for each divided region on the basis of the judgment result, and a billing information storage unit that stores information of the determined billing amount. | 07-26-2012 |
20120229852 | IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - An image forming apparatus includes a data interpreting unit configured to interpret a printing condition of an entirety of a printing job when starting the printing job, and a job control unit configured to determine whether an occurrence of an error for the print job is predicted based on the interpretation of the printing condition of the entirety of the printing job by the data interpreting unit, and terminate the printing job when the occurrence of an error is predicted based on the interpretation of the printing condition of the entirety of the printing job by the data interpreting unit and store data of the printing job in an memory area. | 09-13-2012 |
20130278966 | IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS AND JOB MANAGEMENT METHOD - A novel image forming apparatus that categorizes print job information for each newly added application and presents the print job information without categorizing data incorrectly and mixing in impersonation data. All of the applications that installed additionally extract jobs that went through itself only from trace information on jobs notified by the default functions and display it in a user interface. The trace information on jobs is a job ID association list that associates a job ID numbered by the default functions with a job ID of a job issued by the additional application. | 10-24-2013 |
20130321849 | IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS, IMAGE FORMING METHOD, AND PRINT SYSTEM - Disclosed is an image forming apparatus including a command receiving unit that receives a print command, a detector that detects a state of the operation unit, and a controller. When the detector detects that the state of the operation unit is a predetermined state subsequent to receiving the print command by the command receiving unit and prior to completion of printing based on the print command, the controller causes the printing to be terminated. When the detector detects that the state of the operation unit is not the predetermined state subsequent to receiving the print command by the command receiving unit and prior to the completion of the printing based on the print command, the controller causes the printing to be executed. | 12-05-2013 |
20150073935 | INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, CONSUMABLES ORDERING METHOD, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT - An information processing apparatus includes: a storage control unit that stores, in a storage medium, device number information for identifying the information processing apparatus and a consumables list of consumables available in the information processing apparatus identified by the device number information; and a processing unit that acquires the consumables list from an order receiving server via a network, causes the consumables list to be displayed, and send order information received from the user to the order receiving server when being connected to the network, causes the consumables list to be displayed and causes the storage control unit to store order information received from the user when being not connected to the network, and sends the order information stored to the order receiving server when the information processing apparatus is recovered from a state of being not connected to the network to a state of being connected to the network. | 03-12-2015 |
