20090166949 | PRINTING APPARATUS, METHOD FOR CONTROLLING PRINTING APPARATUS, PROGRAM, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A printing apparatus performs printing with the use of sheets of paper set in any of a plurality of paper-feeding units. The print apparatus is controlled by a method including: determining whether the amount of sheets of paper remaining in a first paper-feeding unit has reached a predetermined amount; and if so switching from the first paper-feeding unit to a second paper-feeding unit. If it is determined that the amount of sheets of paper that remain in the first paper-feeding unit has reached the predetermined amount, control is performed so that the paper-feeding unit that is used for printing should be changed after the ejection of the last one of a plurality of sheets of paper that are included in one set thereof set in the first paper-feeding unit. | 07-02-2009 |
20110037990 | IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - An image forming apparatus that forms images on sheets by using input image data, the apparatus including: a detection unit that detects a blank area outside of an image forming area formed on a sheet; a setting unit that, when a sum of a length in a conveyance direction of a blank area on a trailing edge side in the conveyance direction of a sheet and a length in the conveyance direction of a blank area on a leading edge side in the conveyance direction of a sheet conveyed following the sheet is a reference value or less, sets a sheet conveyance interval to the reference value, and when the sum is greater than the reference value, sets the conveyance interval to be less than the reference value; and a conveying unit that conveys the sheets at the conveyance interval set by the setting unit. | 02-17-2011 |
20110304885 | PRINTING APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING THE SAME - A printing apparatus includes a CPU that determines whether or not to use operation information included in paper information received from another printing apparatus. If it is determined to use the operation information, the received paper information is registered as the paper information of Type 2. In addition, the CPU included in the printing apparatus selects one of a plurality of pieces of paper information and controls a printer unit such that the printer unit performs a printing process in an operating state based on the operation information included in the selected piece of paper information. | 12-15-2011 |
20120033246 | APPARATUS, METHOD, AND PROGRAM FOR SIZE DETECTION - An apparatus includes a size detector configured to detect a size of an original on a contact glass when an angle of a pressing plate is within a predetermined range, a storage element configured to store information of the detected size of original, a reader configured to read the original on the contact glass, using the information of the stored size of the original, after a log-on, and a storage updater configured to update the stored size of the original, along with a log-off. | 02-09-2012 |
20120140284 | IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS, METHOD OF CONTROLLING THE SAME AND IMAGE DISPLAY APPARATUS - An image forming apparatus removably having an operation panel having a display unit, an imaging unit and a wireless communication unit communicable with the image forming apparatus. In a status where the operation panel is not mounted on the image forming apparatus, an image indicating an operation method is combined with a video image obtained by the imaging unit and displayed on the display unit, and the combined image is displayed. | 06-07-2012 |
20130256974 | PRINTING APPARATUS, METHOD FOR CONTROLLING PRINTING APPARATUS, PROGRAM, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A printing apparatus performs printing with the use of sheets of paper set in any of a plurality of paper-feeding units. The print apparatus is controlled by a method including: determining whether the amount of sheets of paper remaining in a first paper-feeding unit has reached a predetermined amount; and if so switching from the first paper-feeding unit to a second paper-feeding unit. If it is determined that the amount of sheets of paper that remain in the first paper-feeding unit has reached the predetermined amount, control is performed so that the paper-feeding unit that is used for printing should be changed after the ejection of the last one of a plurality of sheets of paper that are included in one set thereof set in the first paper-feeding unit. | 10-03-2013 |
20150043931 | PRINTING SYSTEM, JOB PROCESSING METHOD, STORAGE MEDIUM, AND PRINTING APPARATUS - A printing system is operable to enable a printing apparatus to continue a printing of a print job by using printing media of a second supply source after using printing media of a first supply source without expending all of printing media of the first supply source. The printing media included in the first supply source are the same size and type as the printing media included in the second supply source. | 02-12-2015 |
20150215485 | INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS AND WIRELESS COMMUNICATION METHOD - An image processing apparatus includes a first communication unit, an image processing unit, and an authentication unit. The first communication unit performs contactless communication using a radio-frequency identification (RFID). The second communication unit performs wireless communication. The image processing unit performs an image processing job. The authentication unit authenticates a user of the image processing apparatus. In a case where the authentication unit authenticates a user, the second communication unit starts the wireless communication with an external apparatus which has been identified by an identification (ID) communicated from the external apparatus. The image processing unit performs the image processing job using the wireless communication between the second communication unit and the external apparatus. | 07-30-2015 |
