In the image data processing of the digital copying machine (M), the image data is assigned to the expanders (30,31) in such a manner that the expansion time of each of the expanders (30,31) is close to one another. Thus, because the difference of the expansion time between the expanders (30,31) is very close to one another, both of the expanders (30,31) can be efficiently used so that the timing when printing can be started is quickened. In consequence, the speed of expansion processing or print processing is improved.

In an image forming apparatus for reading a document image and forming the document image on a paper, document image data are divided into a plurality of blocks and the document image data are compressed in the unit of block to be stored in a first memory device. The data read from the first memory device are expanded in the unit of block to be stored in a second memory device. Compression time and expansion time are estimated and image output start time for a printer is set based on the compression and expansion times before expansion of all the blocks is completed. In a different way, the start time is set to read data from a second memory device by a printer for printing, after estimation based on expansion time on data not yet expanded by an expansion device. In a still different way, predetermined form data such as page number are superposed with image data. The form data is drawn first in a page memory device and expanded image data are superposed next in the page memory device. Print is started by taking drawing time of the form data into account.

In the image data processing of the digital copying machine (M), number of blocks Bn of image data in auxiliary scanning direction is set to the number of expanders (30, 31) Dn times a natural number N (N.times.Dn). This configuration makes it possible to utilize the (30, 31) expanders efficiently regardless of whether the image is to be rotated by 90.degree. or not when expanding compressed image data and printing the image. Thus such a situation that the expanders (30, 31) are forced to suspend the expanding operation does not occur, making it possible to start printing earlier and improve the printing speed. In the image reader 1 of the digital copying machine (M), when dividing image data corresponding to original document into a plurality of blocks and compressing the image data in the unit of block, length of the original document in the auxiliary scanning direction is estimated from width of the original document (size in principal scanning direction). Then by setting the partition of divided blocks based on the estimated document length, the image data can be compressed without waiting for the end of image data input for each block, not doing over the compression process even when the end of the original document is detected, thereby maximizing the image data compressing speed.

An image processing apparatus of the present invention provides an image reader which reads image, an image memory which stores image data read by said image reader, a compressor which reads out image data previously stored in said image memory, and compresses image data reading out, and a controller which controls starting operation of said compressor so as not to complete compressing image data in said image memory before completion of storing image data into said image memory.

An image information processing apparatus which includes an image reading section which reads an image of a document and outputs image data, a document judging section which judges whether the read document is an original document or a reproduced document according to whether or not specific data is present in the image data, an inquiry section for visualizing inquiry data related to the original document into a visible image, and a control section which controls the inquiry section to visualize the inquiry data designated by the specific data into visible image when the read document is judged to be a reproduced document by the document judging section.
摘要:
The object is to provide a network printing system in which printing may be executed using stable print modes regardless of the printer operating environment. When the printer receives a print job, if (i) any of the printing parameters in the print mode associated to the print job is registered as prohibited and (ii) the current time is within a designated time frame in which no one is expected to be near the printer, printing using prohibited printing parameters is not performed. The situation in which the printer is kept on suspended for a long period of time is prevented by changing such printing parameters to other available printing parameters, or by deleting the print job.
摘要:
An image processing system and method wherein image data is compressed and written to memory. The system includes a first controller, a second controller, a first detector, a third controller and a second detector. The first controller sequentially executes a reading and an image processing of image data from memory. The second controller sequentially executes a re-reading and an image processing of the image data from memory. The first detector detects insufficiency of empty capacity of the memory based on a size of image data of one page compressed at a predetermined compression rate. If insufficient memory for new image data is detected, the third controller writes new image data after a termination of the image processing of the image data of at least one page previously stored. The second detector detects overwriting by the third controller of the new image data on the stored image data.

An image processing system includes a memory for storing image data of a plurality of pages, a first controller which executes a writing of a set of image data of a plurality of pages into the memory in a prescribed page order and repeatedly executes a reading of the set of image data from the memory and an image processing thereof, a detector for detecting insufficiency of empty capacity of the memory, and a second controller. In the event that insufficiency of empty capacity of the memory is detected by the detector during the writing of image data into the memory by the first controller, the second controller deletes image data of one or a plurality of pages stored later and executes a writing of image data of one or a plurality of pages subsequent to the deleted image data of one or a plurality of pages into the memory, a reading thereof from the memory, an image processing thereof and a deletion thereof from the memory every page in a state that image data of one or a plurality of pages stored earlier is held in the memory.

In an image processing apparatus, determination is made whether an interruptive print wait state is attained during interruptive printing. When determination is made that the apparatus is in an interruptive print wait state, an interruption recover process is effected. Then, the apparatus returns to the normal mode prior to interruption. Thus, an image processing apparatus is provided that can have the waiting time caused by an interruption in the normal job reduced.
摘要:
In printing both sides of plural sheets of paper by using a digital copy machine having a circulating-type duplexing unit, when a back face of the first page is printed after printing a front face thereof, if it is likely to collide with a sheet of paper for the second page, priority is given to printing of the back face of the first page. If the front faces of both first and second pages are already printed, then control proceeds so as not to collide with the sheet of paper for the back face of the second page irrespective of delay in printing the back face of the first page.
