Abstract:
An image processing apparatus enables efficient use of an image memory area according to processing contents set by a user. A CPU searches destinations set sequentially, and makes for each destination an image area information generating decision for searching for a destination that generates an image a printer section possibly output. After completing the image area information generating decision for all the destinations, the CPU decides whether the image area information is to be generated or not in the end. When it decides that the image area information is to be generated, it sets a compression rate of a compression expansion circuit of an image compression expansion section at a higher value, and simultaneously enables the output of the image area data buffer. When it decides that the image area information is not to be generated, it sets the compression rate of the compression expansion circuit of the image compression expansion section at a lower value, and simultaneously disables the output of the image area data buffer.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to image input/output apparatuses for outputting inputted image data, a control method of the image input/output apparatuses, an image input/output system and a storage medium thereof. According to the present invention, in case of receiving an image output request of outputting image data inputted by another image input/output apparatus using the another image input/output apparatus and an own image input/output apparatus, setting related to sheet size selection of the own image input/output apparatus is disabled, and data size of the image data transferred from the another image input/output apparatus is calculated. Then, output sheet size is selected on the basis of the calculated result.
Abstract:
A printing system is operable to enable a printing apparatus to continue a printing of a print job by using printing media of a second supply source after using printing media of a first supply source without expending all of printing media of the first supply source. The printing media included in the first supply source are the same size and type as the printing media included in the second supply source.
Abstract:
A printing apparatus includes a CPU that determines whether or not to use operation information included in paper information received from another printing apparatus. If it is determined to use the operation information, the received paper information is registered as the paper information of Type 2. In addition, the CPU included in the printing apparatus selects one of a plurality of pieces of paper information and controls a printer unit such that the printer unit performs a printing process in an operating state based on the operation information included in the selected piece of paper information.
Abstract:
An image forming apparatus removably having an operation panel having a display unit, an imaging unit and a wireless communication unit communicable with the image forming apparatus. In a status where the operation panel is not mounted on the image forming apparatus, an image indicating an operation method is combined with a video image obtained by the imaging unit and displayed on the display unit, and the combined image is displayed.

Abstract:
A scan request is analyzed to determine which application has issued the scan request. Depending on the analysis result, it is determined whether image data obtained by scanning a document using a scanner is stored in a semiconductor memory or on a hard disk. The image data is assigned an identifier indicating the recording medium in which the image data is stored, the type of the job, the document, the image file type, and the number of pages. The image data is processed in accordance with the identifier. This allows the data to be processed by the application in an optimum manner depending on the application.
Abstract:
In an image processing apparatus worth multiple functions, there is provided a method of controlling the function of a peripheral equipment, such as for image filing, facsimile an image printing function, by the control unit of the image processing apparatus. The control program and display data, relating to the image processing function of such peripheral equipment are transferred to, and stored in the composite image processing apparatus, and in response to the selection of such image processing function, the control of the operation unit of the apparatus is switched to a control mode based on the transferred program and display data.
Abstract:
A printing apparatus performs printing with the use of sheets of paper set in any of a plurality of paper-feeding units. The print apparatus is controlled by a method including: determining whether the amount of sheets of paper remaining in a first paper-feeding unit has reached a predetermined amount; and if so switching from the first paper-feeding unit to a second paper-feeding unit. If it is determined that the amount of sheets of paper that remain in the first paper-feeding unit has reached the predetermined amount, control is performed so that the paper-feeding unit that is used for printing should be changed after the ejection of the last one of a plurality of sheets of paper that are included in one set thereof set in the first paper-feeding unit.
