| 20100208276 | APPARATUS, SYSTEM, METHOD AND PROGRAM FOR IMAGE PROCESSING - An image processing apparatus includes a data creating unit that creates image data in response to input data representing an image, wherein the image data includes first image data of a first pixel density and a second image data of a second pixel density lower than the first pixel density, and the data creating unit selects a representative color from colors included in the image, creates data, which includes information for specifying a high resolution pixel representing a portion indicating the representative color of the image among a plurality of high resolution pixels arranged with the first pixel density in an image area representing the image, as the first image data, and creates data, which includes a pixel value of a low resolution pixel representing a portion indicating a color different from the representative color of the image among a plurality of low resolution pixels arranged with the second pixel density in the image area, as the second image data. | 08-19-2010 |
| 20100208277 | APPARATUS, METHOD AND PROGRAM FOR IMAGE PROCESSING - An image processing apparatus includes a raster data creating unit that creates raster data representing an image including plural types of objects in response to input data representing the image, wherein the raster data includes high resolution raster data of a first pixel density and a low resolution raster data of a second pixel density lower than the first pixel density, and the raster data creating unit sets any one of pixel values of pixels of the high resolution raster data and pixel values of pixels of the low resolution raster data in an image area of objects of a type other than characters based on variation of colors of the image area represented by a plurality of pixels of the first pixel density, which correspond to one pixel of the second pixel density. | 08-19-2010 |

| 20090218758 | IMAGE RECORDING DEVICE AND METHOD - An image recording device comprises a recording unit configured to eject ink onto a sheet of recording medium, a platen disposed opposite to the recording unit and configured to support the sheet, a pair of upstream rollers disposed upstream of the recording unit and the platen in a sheet conveying direction and configured to convey the sheet in the sheet conveying direction when rotating in a forward direction, and a controller. When the sheet is supported on the platen and pinched between the pair of upstream rollers, the controller causes the recording unit to eject the ink onto a particular portion of the sheet. The controller selectively rotates the pair of upstream rollers in a reverse direction to convey the sheet in a direction opposite the sheet conveying direction, and subsequently stops rotating the pair of upstream rollers in a reverse direction, such that the pair of upstream rollers pinch the sheet for a particular amount of time and hold the sheet in a predetermined shape during the particular amount of time to restrict deformation of the particular portion of the sheet. | 09-03-2009 |
| 20110187040 | IMAGE PRINTING APPARATUS - An image printing apparatus includes a printing unit and a supporting member opposing the printing unit and having a supporting surface for supporting the printing medium. The image printing apparatus further includes a first pair of rollers disposed upstream of the printing unit, a second pair of rollers and a third pair of rollers which are disposed downstream of the printing unit. The image printing apparatus further includes a guide member disposed between the second pair of rollers and the third pair of rollers. The guide member includes a guide portion which guides the printing medium transported by the second pair of rollers. The guide member is configured to pivot between a slanting position and a laying position. | 08-04-2011 |
| 20110188916 | IMAGE RECORDING APPARATUS - An image recording apparatus including: a first convey path; a support member which supports a first recording medium, a second recording medium, and a tray; a second convey path connected to the first convey path; a first guide member partly defining the second convey path; and a posture change mechanism which changes the support member and the first guide member between (a) a first posture in which the first convey path has a height allowing the first recording medium to pass therethrough, and the second convey path has a height allowing the first recording medium to pass therethrough and (b) a second posture in which the first convey path has a height larger than the first height and allowing the second recording medium or the tray to pass therethrough, and the second convey path has a height smaller than the second height. | 08-04-2011 |
| 20110222947 | CARRYING APPARATUS AND IMAGE RECORDING APPARATUS INCLUDING THE SAME - A carrying apparatus includes: a carry path which is defined to guide a first carried object and a second carried object; a first pulley; a first roller; a second pulley; a first belt which is wound on the first pulley and the second pulley; a first tensioner; and a first moving mechanism which moves the first roller between a first position and a second position. The first moving mechanism moves the first roller between a first position at which the first roller carries the first carried object and a second position which is farther from the carry path than the first position and at which the first roller carries the second carried object. | 09-15-2011 |
| 20110242246 | Image Recording Apparatus - An image recording apparatus including: a recording portion; a tray on which a first recording medium is placed; a convey path for conveying a second recording medium and the tray; a tray guide changeable among (a) a first posture in which the tray guide supports the tray such that the tray can enter into the convey path, (b) a second posture whose position is different from that of the first posture in a direction intersecting the convey path, and the tray guide is located on a downstream side of the position of the first posture in a tray-enter direction, and (c) a third posture in which an upstream portion of the tray guide in the tray-enter direction is nearer to the convey path than that in the second posture; a first posture-change portion which changes the tray guide from the second to the third posture; and a second posture-change portion which changes the tray guide from the third to the first posture. | 10-06-2011 |
| 20110291347 | TRANSPORTING DEVICE AND IMAGE RECORDING APPARATUS INCLUDING THE SAME - There is provided a transporting device transporting a medium, including: a first member pair which changes a posture of the first member pair between a first posture and a second posture; a second member pair which changes a posture of the second member pair between a third posture and a fourth posture; and a movable member which is movable between a fifth posture and a sixth posture, and which has a first abutting portion and a second abutting portion, wherein, in a process that the movable member moves from the fifth posture to the sixth posture, the first abutting portion makes the first member pair change the posture from the first posture to the second posture, and while the first abutting portion makes the first member pair change the posture, the second abutting portion abuts on one of the second member pair. | 12-01-2011 |
