Abstract:
An approach is provided wherein a banner page is detected and modified to insert information appropriate for a fax cover page. According to one embodiment, a user submits a document to the OS printing sub-system with a banner page option enabled. The banner page is processed by a fax cover filter which detects the banner page and modifies the banner page to include fax cover page information. The banner page and the document are then rendered to a specified document format by the printing subsystem and faxed, for example by a MFP.
Abstract:
A digital camera 40 transmits to a printer 20 a command for transmitting RAW format compatibility information which is information of a RAW file format directly printable by the printer 20. Upon receipt of the RAW format compatibility information from the printer 20, the digital camera 40 determines, on the basis of the received RAW format compatibility information and the format of a RAW file stored in a flash memory 46 thereof, whether the RAW file can be directly printed by the printer 20. If the RAW file can be directly printed, the digital camera 40 transmits the RAW file to the printer 20. If the RAW file cannot be directly printed, the digital camera 40 transmits to the printer 20 the RAW file and a development enabling parameter which enables analysis of RAW data included in the RAW file as image data. The printer 20 prints the RAW file with the use of the development enabling parameter.
Abstract:
A color material specifying unit of a digital camera generates color material specification data that specifies a color material to be used when forming an image in a printer. A transmitting unit transmits, to the printer, print instruction data including the color material specification data generated by the color material specifying unit, and image data stored in a storage unit. A receiving unit of the printer receives the image data and the print instruction from the digital camera. A color material specification retrieving unit retrieves the color material specification data from the digital camera. By using the color material specified based on the color material specification data, an image output unit forms the image from the image data received by the receiving unit, and prints the formed image on a recording paper.
Abstract:
A dial-up internet facsimile apparatus comprises a modem that makes dial-up connection to a service provider of e-mail via telephone line, an operation section that has a stop button, and an e-mail reception section that receives e-mail data from the connected service provider. When the stop button is pressed while receiving the email data, the e-mail reception section disconnects the connection to the service provider without waiting for the completion of the reception of the e-mail data. This procedure prevents unnecessary telephone charges.
Abstract:
There is provided an image input device capable of connecting to a network, which can achieve, when a user wants to connect to a particular communication counterpart by operating the image input device, reliable connection with the counterpart that the user wants to connect by smoothly avoiding connection with other communication counterparts. Meanwhile, if the user wants to connect to the image input device by operating an information processor, connection with a communication counterpart which has issued a connection request earliest is achieved without operation of the image input device. A digital camera 100 has a wireless communication function of wirelessly connecting to a PC (personal computer) 101, which is an information processor. Pairing information for identifying a PC 101 to be a communication counterpart is set in advance, by connecting to the PC 101 via a USB cable. When start of connection with the PC 101 is instructed, the digital camera transits to a state capable of wireless connection with the PC 101 based on the set pairing information.
Abstract:
An image source apparatus includes: a driver, operable to send the image data to the printer and to cause the printer to execute the printing based on the image data, in accordance with a prescribed standard; an application processor; and a storage. When the driver receives an initialization request from the application processor, the driver, after notifying the application processor of an acknowledgement of the initialization request, carries out an initialization process in accordance with the received initialization request, and the driver, after finishing the initialization process, acquires information on a plurality of items related to a specification of the printer from the printer in accordance with the prescribed standard and stores the information in the storage. When the driver receives an acquisition command for acquiring any of the plurality of items from the application processor, the driver returns information on the item related to the acquisition command to the application processor with reference to the storage.
Abstract:
An image forming apparatus having a direct printing function and a method of direct printing. A communicator receives a signal to request a printing job of an image to be printed from an image providing apparatus. A storage unit stores a plurality of images having print histories of being printed. A controller determines whether the image to be printed is stored in the storage unit. If it is determined that the image to be printed is stored in the storage unit, the communicator informs the image providing apparatus that the printing job is completed and informs the image providing apparatus that the image providing apparatus does not need to transmit the image.
Abstract:
After consecutive photographing by consecutive photographing function of a camera at step S1 or selecting animation from an album function at step S2, display transit to a self-animation producing screen at step S3. In a display area (#1) on right side of a display screen, picked up images are displayed in thumbnail form, and in a display area (#2), images set for respective frame numbers of the self-animation are displayed in thumbnail form. In the display area (#1), a determination key is depressed in the condition where a cursor is focused on the image, the currently selected image is set in the frame of the self-produced animation. The selected image is displayed in the corresponding frame number of the display area (#2) in thumbnail form.
Abstract:
A method and system for printing full images using a device. The method includes determining print target information according to transmission conditions existing between the device and the image forming device in response to a request sent from the device to the image forming device; transmitting the determined print target information to the image forming device; and printing selected contents from among the data using the transmitted print target information.
Abstract:
A document transmission apparatus reduces troublesome labor of an operator when transmitting document data, inputted from a scanner or the like, by various transmission methods such as electronic mail, facsimile, remote printing and file transfer. An address book containing a receiver and a plurality of transmission methods for transmitting document data to the receiver is generated. Upon transmission instruction, an appropriate transmission method is selected by the receiver, then document data is converted into data of an appropriate data format, and the converted data is transmitted. Further, a notice of transmission indicating that the document data has been transmitted is transmitted to the receiver of the document data by a method different from the transmission method of the document data. Thus, the document data can be reliably delivered to the receiver.
