20090037716 | Image forming apparatus and processing method of revising basic settings - When a setting input through a control portion falls within the first setup range, the settings in the first setup storage are rewritten with the setting in the second setup storage. Since the setting was revised, the revision history including the setup content and the data of the setting is stored in a revision history storage. Next, a determination process for the revised setting is carried out. Specifically, it is determined whether a usually expected input setting from the control portion falls within the second setup range. When it does not fall within the second setup range, the controller determines that the input setting is not a proper value, and reads out the setting before revision, stored in the third setup storage to rewrite the settings in the first setup storage with it. | 02-05-2009 |
20090080001 | IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS, IMAGE FORMING SYSTEM INCLUDING THE SAME, AND PROGRAM - In an image forming apparatus of the present invention, when performing one-side printing during a predetermined period after two-side printing, a change in a carrying velocity of a post-process apparatus is prevented and thus recording paper having passed through a fixing section is carried and output at a velocity that is lower than a velocity for normal one-side printing and that is identical with a velocity for two-side printing. Consequently, it is possible to prevent dropping of productivity of the image forming system due to a time necessary for changing the carrying velocity of the post-process apparatus and to increase an operating ratio of the image forming system, even if the post-process apparatus is designed to completely stop the carrying roller etc. when changing the carrying velocity. | 03-26-2009 |

20090214234 | FIXING DEVICE, IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS, AND METHOD OF DETECTING AN ABNORMALITY OF A FIXING DEVICE - A fixing device according to this invention includes a heating roller, a heater driver, a thermistor, and a CPU. The heating roller has a heater and heats a recording sheet. The heater driver drives the heater. The thermistor detects a surface temperature of the heating roller. The CPU stops an operation of the heater driver when the surface temperature of the heating roller becomes higher than a predetermined temperature and, thereafter, causes the thermistor to perform detection of the surface temperature of the heating roller for a predetermined time period and issues an alarm about occurrence of a first abnormality when the surface temperature of the heating roller fails to drop in the predetermined time period. | 08-27-2009 |
20090237701 | Image forming apparatus - In an image forming apparatus, damage to the apparatus caused by power conduction at the time of installation is prevented. When initial adjustment at factory ends and service person moves the apparatus, a power switch is turned OFF. Using this OFF operation as a trigger, a control unit | 09-24-2009 |

20090141300 | IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS AND IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD - An image processing apparatus including: an image processing section that processes an original image, and outputs the processed original image; an operating section that a user operates; a reading-and-displaying section disposed in the operating section, and has a function of reading control information as an image and has a function of displaying the read control information; an instruction input section disposed in the operating section, and receives an instruction regarding an original image; and a controller that controls operations of the image processing section, the reading-and-displaying section, and the instruction input section, wherein the controller instructs the reading-and-displaying section to read the control information, acquires the control information from a result read by the reading-and-displaying section, and instructs the image processing section to process the original image and to output the processed original image, based on the acquired control information and/or the instruction received by the instruction input section. | 06-04-2009 |
20090187758 | Data communication system and data transmitting apparatus - An LDAP server stores security levels individually assigned to a plurality of destinations and a plurality of users in advance. When a user is authenticated successfully by the LDAP server, a control section of a multi-functional machine obtains the security level of the authenticated user from the LDAP server via a communication section, and then restricts/relaxes display contents necessary in transmission processing, in accordance with the high/low of the security level. Further, when the security level is not lower than a predetermined threshold value, the control section obtains from the LDAP server a destination in which the user is adopted as the addressee. | 07-23-2009 |

20120300247 | IMAGE PROCESSING SYSTEM INCLUDING IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS HAVING TOUCH PANEL - A first terminal device indicates a file based on a first gesture on a touch panel, and upon receipt of a search instruction by a second gesture on the touch panel, transmits search information including the indicated file and user information to an image processing device. The image processing device stores the search information. A second terminal device obtains search information from the image processing device, executes a search operation using the search information, and transmits information that identifies retrieved data to the first terminal device as a search result. | 11-29-2012 |
20130021634 | IMAGE PROCESSING SYSTEM, PORTABLE TERMINAL, INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, AND DISPLAY METHOD - When a portable terminal shoots a photo of a plurality of image processing apparatuses, a maintenance order is decided based on the respective states of a plurality of image processing apparatuses in a shooting range of the portable terminal. A tag representing the maintenance order is combined with the shot image and displayed on the portable terminal. | 01-24-2013 |
20130044340 | IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS HAVING A TOUCH PANEL - An image processing apparatus includes an operation panel as a touch panel and a CPU for performing processing based on a gesture thereon. The CPU includes a determination unit for determining a detail of processing corresponding to the gesture. When the detail of processing corresponding to the gesture includes a first detail of processing as processing on a file and a second detail of processing as processing on a displayed image and when the file targeted for the processing is stored in a storage device, the determination unit determines the detail of processing as the first detail of processing. | 02-21-2013 |
