20090190164 | Method and apparatus for forming image - In an image forming apparatus, a setting management unit acquires at least one of first setting data and second setting data. The first setting data is information that specifies data to be included in the identification image from among the identification data and the second setting data is information that specifies a position of the identification image. An output control unit outputs (e.g., prints) output data including the identification image that is created based on at least one of the first setting data and the second setting data that is acquired by the setting management unit. | 07-30-2009 |
20090310182 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR FORMING IMAGE AND RECORDING MEDIUM - One or more among a PC document receive filter, a FAX document receive filter, a read filter, and a readout filter create a report on each of the corresponding functions in a format common to the functions. A report filter changes a format of the created report as desired by the user. Therefore, when a setting for a report output process is changed, it is not necessary to change the setting with respect to each of the functions. Thus, it is possible to reduce development man-hours for the report output process. | 12-17-2009 |
