| 20080304847 | IMAGE-FORMING APPARATUS, AND CONTROL METHOD, PROGRAM AND STORAGE MEDIUM THEREFOR - An image-forming apparatus capable of satisfactorily maintaining the durability of a separating mechanism while preventing deformation of rubber layers of parts of a fixing unit and at the same time achieving a power saving effect. The image-forming apparatus is shifted into a power saving state without a fixing part and a pressurizing part of the fixing unit being separated. The fixing part and the pressurizing part are separated, if a return condition from the power saving state is not satisfied even after elapse of a predetermined time period from when the apparatus has been shifted into the power saving state. | 12-11-2008 |
| 20090284792 | PROCESSING APPARATUS, METHOD OF CONTROLLING THE SAME, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A processing apparatus enabling initial settings to be easily configured as a user desires e.g. upon purchase of the apparatus without unpacking the apparatus from a shipping carton. The processing apparatus comprises a wireless communication unit operable by an AC power supply or a battery, and an EEPROM operable by the AC power supply or the battery and stores initial settings information for the apparatus. An MCU of the processing apparatus determines whether electric power is currently supplied from the AC power supply or from the battery. Further, the MCU determines whether or not power-on history information on the AC power supply has been stored. When the battery is used and no power-on history information has been stored, the MCU rewrites the initial settings information stored in the EEPROM, based on initial settings information received from a dealer's PC by wireless communication. | 11-19-2009 |
| 20100277755 | INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS CONNECTED TO A PRINTING APPARATUS VIA A NETWORK AND COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM HAVING STORED THEREON A PROGRAM FOR CAUSING A COMPUTER TO EXECUTE GENERATING PRINT DATA IN THE INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS CONNECTED TO THE PRINTING APPARATUS VIA THE NETWORK - An information processing apparatus connected to a printing apparatus via a network encrypts print data if identification information is input, and does not encrypt print data if identification information is not input. If identification information is input and the print data has been encrypted, the information processing apparatus sends a print job including the encrypted print data to the printing apparatus via the network; otherwise, the information processing apparatus sends unencrypted print data to the printing apparatus via the network. | 11-04-2010 |
| 20110069338 | PRINT SYSTEM, CONTROL METHOD THEREFOR, INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD THEREFOR, PROGRAM FOR IMPLEMENTING THE CONTROL METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM STORING THE CONTROL PROGRAM - A print system which are capable of inhibiting simultaneous use of the encrypted print and the box storage to thereby increase the security of print data. A host computer has an encryption function of encrypting print data, and issues a print job for the print data encrypted by the encryption function. A print server receives the issued print job, and has a decryption function of decrypting the encrypted print data of the received print job. A printer has a storage function of storing the print data decrypted by the decryption function, and outputs the stored print data. At least one of the host computer and the print server inhibits simultaneous use of the encryption function and the storage function. | 03-24-2011 |
