Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image forming apparatus capable of inserting partition paper for showing an end at a position designated by copy unit when forming an image according to a job received from an external device.SOLUTION: The image forming apparatus includes: an NIC 110 that receives an insertion position of partition paper, information printed on each partition paper, and a printing job from a terminal device 180; an image forming part 122 that forms an image on recording paper according to the printing job; an ejection part that ejects the recording paper and the partition paper; and a controller 102. The insertion position is designated by copy unit that aggregation of the recording paper on which the image has been formed entirely is set as one copy, and the controller controls the ejection part to eject the partition paper on which information has been printed after ejecting the recording paper of the number of copies decided from the insertion position. Thus, since the partition paper on which the prescribed information has been printed is inserted at an optional position designated by copy unit, a user can easily handle the output recording paper.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image reading apparatus which performs user authentication and setting using an original to be read, and an image recording apparatus which reports a method of using the image reader. SOLUTION: During a mode combining and reading a plurality of originals (S11:YES), it is determined whether there is an original on an original placing table (S12) and when there is the original on the original placing table (S12:YES), the original is read from the original placing table and an ADF (S13). Next, it is determined whether the arrangement of the original placed on the original placing table is suitable (S14) and when it is determined that the arrangement of the original is suitable (S14:YES), print data are generated (S16) on which setting is reflected according to a setting placing table specifying and setting the relation between the arrangement of the original and the setting (S15).

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a high-safety image reader capable of simply executing authentication, an image processing system provided with the image reader, an image forming device capable of preparing sheets used for the image reader or the image processing system, and an image reading method. SOLUTION: A control unit 10 controls reading processing of sheets set to an image input (OC) 12 or an original manuscript reader (ADF) 13. Pattern recognition parts 14 extract combination information regarding patterns and combinations of a plurality of the patterns from the read sheets. An authentication part 16, a setting part 17, or a restriction releasing part 18 judges whether or not the extracted combinations of a plurality of the patterns are coincident with the combination information under the control of the control unit 10; and executes prescribed processing (for example, copying) to a read image together with processing such as user authentication, function setting, or release of function restrictions when determining that the extracted combinations are coincident with the combination information.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable a user to easily confirm the setting of tandem printing without performing any operation several times for achieving the confirmation or setting of the tandem printing. SOLUTION: When a plurality of printers which perform tandem printing are determined, the icon of each printer is displayed on a screen, and the number of copies of printing assigned to each printer is displayed on the screen. Thus, it is possible for a user to obtain the set contents at a glance. When the use performs an operation to change the size of the icon, the display of the number of copies of printing is changed. The number of copies of printing is changed according to the size of the icon. COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a device having a liquid crystal touch panel and an operation key, capable of performing simultaneous and different operations by a plurality of users. SOLUTION: Various display buttons are displayed on the right half of a screen of a liquid crystal touch panel 42 seen from a right-hand user for selecting various processings for copying, and the display buttons are disposed adjacently to an operation key on the right side of the liquid crystal touch panel 42. Therefore, the right-hand user can easily operate the display buttons and the operation key while viewing the screen of the touch panel 42 to selectively set various processings. A job state is also displayed on the screen of the touch panel 42 seen from a left-hand user for confirming the job state, and various display buttons are displayed on the left half of the screen. Therefore, the left-hand user can easily operate the display buttons while viewing the screen of the touch panel 42 to confirm various job states. COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve operability so as to enable a user to easily set tandem printing. SOLUTION: An icon 20 of a plurality of printers 1 used for tandem printing is displayed on a screen of a monitor 3 of a printing controller 2. A user operates the icon 20 of one printer 1 to draw a line. A line 21 is drawn according to the operation, and the icon 20 of the one printer 1 is isolated from the icon 20 of other printer 1. The isolated and displayed printer 1 is not to be used for tandem printing. COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a printing device for improving the convenience of a user and the security level. SOLUTION: A liquid crystal display panel displays same password input screens in a left screen and a right screen except for the positions of "different" buttons. When the "different" button in the left screen is pressed, the right screen is not changed, and the left screen shows a screen in which the positions of numeric keypads and the position of the password display window are different from the right screen. In addition, "return" buttons are displayed at different positions in the left screen and the right screen. Password input for simultaneous confidential printing by a plurality of users is enabled. For example, even when another user is operating on the left screen, a different user can perform operation for confidential printing on the right screen. The right screen and the left screen are seen differently. Therefore, leakage of the password of the user to other people can be prevented even in the simultaneous operation, and the convenience of the users and the security level are improved.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image forming apparatus and an image processing apparatus to input a necessary information in executing various processes by reading a draft folded in a prescribed shape in advance without operating an operation key and execute the processes based on the input information. SOLUTION: An image reading portion 8 reads a paper formed in a prescribed pattern in a state folded in the prescribed shape, and an identification portion 4 detects the shape of the paper based on an obtained image data. The identification portion 4 reads a process indicating information corresponding to the detected shape and the obtained image data from an information table stored by itself and inputs the read process indicating information to an authentication portion 5 or a setting portion 6. The authentication portion 5 conducts an authentication process based on the process indicating information input from the identification portion 4, and the setting portion 6 conducts a setting process based on the process indicating information input from the identification portion 4.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a computer program, a memory device, and a data processing system, which stores a specified data in a memory device located at an outside of the data processing system so that no secret data included in a setting data required for activating a data processing device is leaked. SOLUTION: The data processing system includes a data processing device 2 such as a facsimile or a printing device, which transfers a setting data required for processing a data to a memory device 1 for backup and other purposes. The memory device 1 stores the setting data of data processing devices 2, 2. The memory device 1 stores the setting data by associating with a type, which is sorted out in accordance with the data processing device 2 after the data processing decide was sorted out in response to whether a data protection function for a data being processed is provided or not. Furthermore, the memory device 1 transfers the setting data that is associated with a sorted out type for a designated data processing device 2 when the setting data is transferred to the data processing device 2.
