20100080219 | COMMUNICATION DEVICE - A communication device includes a communication control unit for conducting communication with a destination device according to a first communication sequence or a second communication sequence more suitable for communicating through an IP network than the first communication sequence. The communication device further includes an IP network determining unit for determining whether the communication is conducted through the IP network. When the IP network determining unit determines that the communication is conducted through the IP network, the communication control unit conducts the communication according to the second communication sequence. | 04-01-2010 |
20100302584 | IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - An image forming apparatus includes an operation unit for inputting an operation; a job storage unit for storing a job correlating the operation to a sequential operation; a control unit for performing the job; a destination storage unit for storing destination information; and an information searching unit for determining whether the job including an operation of transmission to the destination information is stored in the job storage unit. The control unit is arranged to perform a specific operation when the information searching unit determines that the job including the operation of transmission to the destination information is stored in the job storage unit after the destination information is changed. | 12-02-2010 |
20110078263 | Email management apparatus, multifunction peripheral, and method of communicating emails - An email management apparatus manages emails. An email receiving section receives an email via a network. A separating section separates the email into an attachment and an email text. The separating section produces attachment data based on the attachment and email text data based on the email text. An associating section associates the email data with the attachment data. | 03-31-2011 |

20120057182 | INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS AND METHOD OF PROCESSING INFORMATION - An information processing apparatus includes a receiving unit for receiving data; a printing unit for printing the data; a data storage unit for storing the data; a print setting storage unit for storing a print enable setting indicating whether the data received with the receiving unit is printed; and a print control unit for controlling the printing unit to print the data stored in the data storage unit when the print enable setting is not set to print the data and it is determined that a remaining storage capacity of the data storage unit is not sufficient. | 03-08-2012 |
20120250104 | METHOD FOR READING SEQUENTIALLY A MANUSCRIPT GROUP MADE OF PLURAL SHEETS - A method is provided for reading sequentially a manuscript group made of plural sheets and dividing the manuscript group into manuscript data. The manuscript group made of the plural sheets is read sequentially to produce reading data. Each reading data of the sheet produced at the reading step is analyzed and judged on whether or not the sheet is added with a predetermined mark. The manuscript group data is divided by the reading data of the sheet added with the predetermined mark into plural manuscript data in a case where the sheet is judged as being added with the predetermined mark at the judging step. Thereafter, each of the manuscript data including the reading data of the sheet added with the predetermined mark in a storing region is collectively stored. | 10-04-2012 |
