Abstract:
When an original image containing a code image is lossy-compressed, the image quality of the code image is deteriorated. Thus, due to the deterioration of the image quality of the code image, information contained in the code image cannot be acquired. Thus, a portion corresponding to the code image is not lossy compressed, and the portion corresponding to the code image, which has not been subjected to lossy compression, is stored in a storage unit.
Abstract:
A controller which exists between a client apparatus and an image processing apparatus and which controls access from the client apparatus such that the client apparatus can use a network server function of the image processing apparatus, its control method and control program and storage medium. To accomplish this, the controller which exists between a client terminal and an image processing apparatus and which controls data transmitted from the client terminal to the image processing apparatus comprises an information providing unit which provides setup information of the controller to the client terminal and a transfer unit which transfers setup information of the image processing apparatus to the client terminal.
Abstract:
Image data received via a communication line is stored in a data memory. The image data that has been stored in the image memory is not output intact but is subjected to a pixel reducing operation by a CPU. As a result, the image data is compressed in such a manner that an integral number of image pages will fit on one page on the receiving side. The resulting image is developed in a bit-map memory. Upon observing an output of an compressed image, the operator selects the necessary data and designates the required image using a keyboard. The designated image is read out of the data memory, developed intact in the bit-map memory and printed out in the received size.

Abstract:
An information processing apparatus is communicable with a server and an image forming apparatus. A first set of printing commands is acquired from the server. A raster image processor (RIP) processes an image to form raster image data based on the acquired first set of printing commands. One of the first set of printing commands or the formed raster image data is transferred to the image forming apparatus. The RIP is controlled to form raster image data based on a second set of printing commands when the RIP is not carrying out image processing based on the first set of printing commands, and the second set of printing commands are transferred to the image forming apparatus for image processing based thereon when the RIP is carrying out image processing based on the first set of printing commands.
Abstract:
The present invention aims to effectively perform image data transfer between an image generation controller and an image processing controller in either of color image printing and black-and-white image printing. Respective signal lines of Y, M, C and K are provided in a video interface formed between a PDL controller and the image processing controller. When the color image is printed by a printer of one-drum structure, data of a one color for four lines are simultaneously transferred by using the four signal lines, and this transfer operation is repeated for one page and for the four colors. When the black-and-white image is printed, black data for the four lines are simultaneously transferred by using the four signal lines, and this transfer operation is repeated for one page.
