20090021765 | IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS AND PRINT CONTROLLING METHOD FOR THE SAME - An image forming apparatus includes: a combining unit configured to combine a document image and a coded image; a setting determining unit configured to determine whether a setting for combining a document image including a previously combined coded image and an other coded image is made when a reproduction of the document image is instructed; and a prohibiting unit configured to prohibit the combining unit from combining the document image including the previously combined coded image and the other coded image according to the setting when the result of the determination indicates that the setting is made. | 01-22-2009 |
20090214137 | IMAGE PROCESSING ENABLING DECODING OF ENCODED INFORMATION EMBEDDED IN SOURCE DOCUMENT - An image processing apparatus that receives an image from a scanner capable of optical scaling is provided by the present invention. It has an image scaling unit for performing digital scaling of a received image, and an information detecting unit for detecting encoded information from the received image. Unless the scaling factor is that suitable for optical scaling, the received image undergoes the digital scaling instead of the optical scaling. Before the received image undergoes the digital scaling, the information detecting unit detects the encoded information from the received image. The scaling using the image reading device capable of optical scaling enables more accurate analysis of the encoded information embedded in a source document. | 08-27-2009 |
20110090526 | IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD THEREOF AND COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM - This invention provides an image forming apparatus capable of reliably printing security information even when image data of an original document that is obtained by a reading unit contains security information and an area where the security information is not contained is set as a print area, and a control method thereof. To accomplish this, when image data of an original document contains security information, the image forming apparatus extracts image the security information from data, and sets a print target area from an area indicated by the image data of the original document. When an area corresponding to, from which the security information is extracted, is not contained in the set print target area, the image forming apparatus executes printing using the extracted image data corresponding to the security information, and the image data corresponding to the print target area. | 04-21-2011 |
20110157657 | IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD THEREFOR AND PROGRAM - An image processing apparatus which reads a first ticket and a second ticket and performs processing extracted from information on the tickets includes a ticket generation unit configured to extract, from a processing instruction sheet serving as an original document which describes a processing target region in a processing target original document, information regarding the processing target region in order to generate a ticket, and to generate a ticket contents of processing to be performed on the processing target region in a format. The ticket generation unit further extracts information regarding contents of processing instructed to be performed on a region in which a change in contents of processing instructed by the processing instruction sheet to be performed thereon is permitted, and generates a second ticket. | 06-30-2011 |
20120086973 | IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS AND PRINT CONTROLLING METHOD FOR THE SAME - An image forming apparatus includes: a combining unit configured to combine a document image and a coded image; a setting determining unit configured to determine whether a setting for combining a document image including a previously combined coded image and an other coded image is made when a reproduction of the document image is instructed; and a prohibiting unit configured to prohibit the combining unit from combining the document image including the previously combined coded image and the other coded image according to the setting when the result of the determination indicates that the setting is made. | 04-12-2012 |
20120099154 | IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS AND IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS CONTROL METHOD - In executing a job for combining a plurality of images and outputting the combined image, an information processing apparatus stores log information to allow a system administrator to later identify what image has been output while effectively saving the capacity of a storage device to be used. | 04-26-2012 |
20130128296 | PRINTING APPARATUS, METHOD AND PROGRAM - There are provided a printing apparatus, and a control method and a program thereof which, in a case of box-storing a password document, can in advance avoid occurrence of a state where the password document can not be printed depending upon the setting of the printing apparatus. In a case of box-storing a password document, a user is notified at the box-storing that there is a possibility of occurrence of a state where the password document can not be printed depending upon the setting of a printing apparatus. | 05-23-2013 |
20130293908 | IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD THEREOF, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - This invention provides a technique of preventing a collision between an original document and a printing material on a conveyance path which is partially shared for conveyance of them in an image forming apparatus. The image forming apparatus of one aspect of this invention, which includes a printing unit configured to convey a printing material via at least part of a conveyance path used for original document reading processing, and execute printing processing of an image on the printing material, executes if the original document reading processing is not being executed when the printing processing of the image on the printing material is instructed, the printing processing without waiting for completion of the reading processing, and executes, if the original document reading processing is being executed, the printing processing upon completion of the reading processing. | 11-07-2013 |
20140036300 | IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD THEREOF AND COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM - This invention provides an image forming apparatus capable of reliably printing security information even when image data of an original document that is obtained by a reading unit contains security information and an area where the security information is not contained is set as a print area, and a control method thereof. To accomplish this, when image data of an original document contains security information, the image forming apparatus extracts image the security information from data, and sets a print target area from an area indicated by the image data of the original document. When an area corresponding to, from which the security information is extracted, is not contained in the set print target area, the image forming apparatus executes printing using the extracted image data corresponding to the security information, and the image data corresponding to the print target area. | 02-06-2014 |
20140045667 | SYSTEM FOR CONTROLLING SHEET FOLDING PROCESSING - There is a disclosure of a system which controls a folding unit performing folding processing to one set of sheets supplied by a print unit. The one set of sheets includes sheets of a first size and/or a second size which is smaller than the first size. The system includes a first controller and second controller. When the one set of sheets includes a sheet of the first size, the first controller inhibits the folding processing to a sheet of the second size. When the one set of sheets does not include a sheet of the first size but includes a sheet of the second size, the second controller permits the folding processing to a sheet of the second size. | 02-13-2014 |
20140185305 | LIGHTING DEVICE - A lighting device includes a face light emitter and a housing having an internal cavity. The internal cavity is defined by a wall and the face light emitter. The face light emitter is an electroluminescence panel having a permeable substrate to planarly radiate visible light. The electroluminescence panel has a plurality of holes each communicating from the internal cavity to an outside space. | 07-03-2014 |
