| 20090147320 | IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS AND CONTROL METHOD THEREOF - An image forming apparatus including: a reflection member to reflect light at a first position spaced a predetermined distance from a scan glass; a moving unit to move the reflection member between the first position and a second position; and a control unit to generate initial reference data from an image signal transmitted from a scanning device to receive the light reflected by the reflection member. When the initial reference data is not suitable for shading correction, the control unit controls the moving unit to move the reflection member to the second position for reference data reacquisition. | 06-11-2009 |
| 20090219559 | UNIT USING OS AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS USING THE SAME - A chip mountable on a customer replaceable unit monitory (CRUM) unit used in an image forming job includes a central processing unit (CPU) to perform cryptographic data communication with a main body of an image forming apparatus, using an operating system (OS) of the CPU. The security of a unit on which the chip is mounted can thereby be reinforced and random changes of data of the unit can be prevented. | 09-03-2009 |
| 20090220077 | UNIT USING OPERATING SYSTEM AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS USING THE SAME - A chip mountable on a customer replaceable unit monitoring memory (CRUM) unit used in an image forming job includes a central processing unit (CPU) with an operating system (OS) thereof, which is separate from an OS of the image forming apparatus, to perform at least one of authentication and cryptographic data communication with a main body of an image forming apparatus by executing one cryptographic algorithm corresponding to a set state from among a plurality of pre-provided cryptographic algorithms, using the OS thereof. The security of a unit on which the chip is mounted can thereby be reinforced and random changes of data of the unit can be prevented. | 09-03-2009 |
| 20090222664 | UNIT USING OS AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS USING THE SAME - A chip mountable on a replaceable unit used in an image forming job is disclosed. The chip includes a central processing unit (CPU) to perform at least one of authentication and cryptographic data communication with a main body of the image forming apparatus using an operating system (OS) of the CPU which operates separately from an OS of the image forming apparatus. With the use of such a configuration, security for a unit in which the chip is mounted can thereby be reinforced. | 09-03-2009 |
| 20090222886 | UNIT USING OS AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS USING THE SAME - A chip mountable on a customer replaceable unit monitoring memory (CRUM) unit used in an image forming job includes a central processing unit (CPU) with its own operating system (OS), which operates separately from an OS of the image forming apparatus, to perform authentication communication with a main body of the image forming apparatus using the OS of the CPU. The security of a unit on which the chip is mounted can thereby be reinforced and random changes of data of the unit can be prevented. | 09-03-2009 |
| 20100028031 | CUSTOMER REPLACEABLE UNIT MONITOR (CRUM) UNIT, REPLACEABLE UNIT AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS COMPRISING THE CRUM UNIT, AND UNIT DRIVING METHOD THEREOF - A replaceable unit to participate in an image forming job of an image forming apparatus includes a storage unit to store therein a driving condition corresponding to an operation environment, a detecting unit to monitor the operation environment, a controlling unit to detect a corresponding driving condition from the storage unit if the detecting unit detects the driving environment, and an interface unit to provide a main body of the image forming apparatus with the detected corresponding driving condition. Accordingly, the replaceable unit can be driven under optimum driving conditions. | 02-04-2010 |
| 20110002002 | UNIT USING OS AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS USING THE SAME - A chip mountable on a customer replaceable unit monitory (CRUM) unit used in an image forming job includes a central processing unit (CPU) to perform cryptographic data communication with a main body of an image forming apparatus, using an operating system (OS) of the CPU. The security of a unit on which the chip is mounted can thereby be reinforced and random changes of data of the unit can be prevented. | 01-06-2011 |
| 20110004746 | UNIT USING OS AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS USING THE SAME - A chip mountable on a customer replaceable unit monitoring memory (CRUM) unit used in an image forming job includes a central processing unit (CPU) with its own operating system (OS), which operates separately from an OS of the image forming apparatus, to perform authentication communication with a main body of the image forming apparatus using the OS of the CPU. The security of a unit on which the chip is mounted can thereby be reinforced and random changes of data of the unit can be prevented. | 01-06-2011 |
| 20110004768 | UNIT USING OS AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS USING THE SAME - A chip mountable on a replaceable unit used in an image forming job is disclosed. The chip includes a central processing unit (CPU) to perform at least one of authentication and cryptographic data communication with a main body of the image forming apparatus using an operating system (OS) of the CPU which operates separately from an OS of the image forming apparatus. With the use of such a configuration, security for a unit in which the chip is mounted can thereby be reinforced. | 01-06-2011 |
