Abstract:
A liquid discharger is provided, which includes a condition determining unit configured to, based on a remaining amount of first liquid detected by a first liquid remaining amount detector and a remaining amount of second liquid detected by a second liquid remaining amount detector, determine whether a predetermined condition is satisfied under a situation where the remaining amount of the second liquid is less than the remaining amount of the first liquid. When the condition determining unit determines that the predetermined condition is satisfied, a second liquid discharge head is controlled to discharge onto image formation areas the second liquid of an amount smaller than an amount of the second liquid to be discharged onto the image formation areas in a case where the condition determining unit determines that the predetermined condition is not satisfied.
Abstract:
An image recording apparatus of the present invention includes an image data storage unit, a record head, a head controller, an image data changing unit, an edge detection unit, a thin-line image portion judging unit, and a thin-line blank region judging unit. The image data changing unit changes an image data such that an amount of reduction in a recording droplets ejected onto a region including a dot region where an image dots constituting at least an edge of a thin-line image portion are formed is large when the thin-line image portion neighbors a thin-line blank region, as compared to a case where the thin-line image portion does not neighbor the thin-line blank region.
Abstract:
A liquid ejection apparatus including: a flushing-operation-data producing section which produces flushing-operation data for flashing of ink; a second-liquid-ejection-data producing section which produces data about ejection of treatment liquid such that (i) the treatment liquid is to be landed on a dot area on which the ink is to be landed upon forming an image dot among dot areas and (ii) an amount of the treatment liquid landed to be on at least one dot area on which the ink is to be landed upon flashing of the ink is made smaller, by referring the flushing-operation data produced by the flushing-operation-data producing section, than an amount of the treatment liquid to be landed on a dot area on which the ink is not to be landed upon flashing; and a second-liquid controlling section which controls a head on the basis of the data produced by the second-liquid-ejection-data producing section.
Abstract:
A printing system comprising a printing device and a server configured to perform data communication with the printing device. The printing device comprises a printing unit configured to print an image on a printing sheet, an attachment unit to which a removable medium is removably attached, a first communication interface configured to communicate with the server, and a first controller configured to acquire at least part of data in the removable medium attached to the attachment unit, control the first communication interface to transmit the acquired data to the server, delete the data in the removable medium corresponding to the acquired data. The server comprises a second communication interface configured to communicate with the printing device, a server-side storage configured to store the acquired data, and a second controller configured to store the acquired data received by the second communication interface in the server-side storage.
Abstract:
An image recording system includes a mobile terminal and an image recording apparatus. The mobile terminal successively stores signals representative of its position at least from establishment of first wireless communication between the mobile terminal and the image recording apparatus. When information produced based on the signals coincides with at least one of sets of reference information which respectively correspond to image recording conditions, the mobile terminal determines at least one command for commanding at least one image recording condition respectively corresponding to the at least one set of reference information. The mobile terminal transmits the at least one command to the image recording apparatus over the first wireless communication or second wireless communication and transmits image data to the image recording apparatus over the second wireless communication. The image recording apparatus uses at least one image recording condition to record an image based on the image data.
Abstract:
A liquid ejecting apparatus includes a liquid ejection head that ejects liquid on recording media, an output tray that supports the recording media stacked thereon, a curl-correcting device, a detecting device, and a controller. The curl-correcting device performs curl-correction processing on the recording media, which reduces an amount of curl of the recording media. The detecting device detects information related to a stacking thickness of the recording media. The controller sets the curl-correcting device to perform the curl-correction processing on the recording media at a first processing level when the stacking thickness is greater than or equal to the threshold stacking thickness. The controller sets the curl correcting device to perform the curl-correction processing on the recording media at a second processing level when the stacking thickness is less than the threshold stacking thickness. The first processing level includes more curl-correction processing than the second processing level.
Abstract:
An image data processing device processes image data. The image data processing device includes an image data storing unit, a correction data producing unit, and an image density value addition unit. The image density value is either a first density value that is greater than or equal to a prescribed value or a second density value that is less than the prescribed value. The ink droplet is ejected on the first subject pixel whereas the ink droplet is unejected on the second subject pixel. The correction data producing unit produces correction data including a plurality of correction density values. The image density value addition unit adds the correction density value to the second density value of the corresponding pixel. The correction data producing unit produces a first correction density value and a second correction density value as the correction density value.

A liquid ejection apparatus including: a flushing-operation-data producing section which produces flushing-operation data for flashing of ink; a second-liquid-ejection-data producing section which produces data about ejection of treatment liquid such that (i) the treatment liquid is to be landed on a dot area on which the ink is to be landed upon forming an image dot among dot areas and (ii) the second liquid is not to be landed on at least one dot area on which the first liquid is to be landed on the basis of the control of the flushing-operation controlling section by referring the flushing-operation data produced by the flushing-operation-data producing section.
Abstract:
When authentication information is input via an IC card reader and includes predetermined information. A portable terminal corresponding to the authentication information is identified, and specific identification information that identifies an image-data file associated with the authentication information is extracted. The extracted specific identification information is transmitted to the identified portable terminal, and the portable terminal displays a list of the received specific identification information on its touch panel. The operation of a printing mechanism is controlled, so that the image-data file corresponding to the specific identification information that selected with a touch panel on the portable terminal is accessed, and an image defined by the image-data file defines is printed on a sheet.
