Abstract:
In response to a request from a host device using an initial protocol, capability information including information indicative of a plurality of communication protocols is returned to the host device, and a communication protocol, designated by the host device based on the capability information, is set, and print data is received from the host device by the set communication protocol. In a system using an interface connected to various types of devices, e.g., an IEEE 1394 serial bus, a communication protocol, which is used when a host device transfers print data to a printer, is not limited to that unique to the manufacturer of the device.
Abstract:
There are provided a communication apparatus and method that enables the retransmission of an electronic mail if an error occurs in the transmission of the electronic mail due to its excessive data size, by reducing the data capacity of the electronic mail without taking time and labor, and a program for implementing the method. In a digital copying machine as the communication apparatus, when an electronic mail that notifies an error relating to an electronic mail transmitted with image data attached is received, the error notification electronic mail is analyzed. If an error that is attributable to the data capacity of the electronic mail is detected from the analysis result, the image data attached to the electronic mail for which the error notice has been received is acquired and the capacity of the image data is reduced by lowering its resolution. The electronic mail to which the image data thus reduced in capacity is attached is retransmitted.
Abstract:
An image processing apparatus includes an input unit configured to input image data, a vectorization unit configured to convert the image data input by the input unit into vectorized data by vectorizing at least one portion of the image data, a receiving unit configured to receive a setting for outputting by an external image output apparatus an image based on the image data input by the input unit, and a sending unit configured to send to the external image output apparatus one of the image data input by the input unit or the vectorized data obtained by the vectorization unit based on the setting received by the receiving unit.
Abstract:
A data transmission apparatus, comprising: a recording unit for recording data output settings for respective users preliminarily; a communication unit for transmitting to a recipient user target data with the output setting either for a sender user or the recipient user, which is recorded in said recording unit, according to an instruction by the sender user; and a display unit for previewing at least one of output settings for the sender user and the recipient user among those recorded in said recording unit, before transmitting said data.
Abstract:
By memorizing communication performance information of a destination machine captured in a previous transmission, the transmission is usually carried out using the communication performance of the destination machine memorized in destination machine performance memorizing device 25. However, in case a redirect response is returned from SIP server 10 when transmitting, the communication performance information is newly exchanged with the destination machine indicated by the redirect response, and then the transmission is carried out based on the communication performance information captured in the exchange. Or the transmission is carried out with default (standard) setting without exchanging the communication performance information.
Abstract:
An Internet facsimile machine includes a control unit controlling to transmit image data by using an electronic mail message after storing original image data in a storage unit and to retransmit a first electronic mail message, when transmitting the first electronic mail message including simplified image data, and a return electronic email message cannot be received even after an elapsed prescribed period of time.
Abstract:
This disclosure describes a number of devices or techniques that can be capable of obtaining an operational capacity for a shared image device; estimating at least one operational resource to perform a transformation of one or more images based at least in part on the obtaining the operational capacity; and sharing the one or more images with at least one other shared image device in a manner that performs the transformation of the one or more images.
Abstract:
An information setting display apparatus and its control method capable of displaying many setting items and setting contents on a small screen without degrading visual recognition and operation performance in a whole setting process and without scarifying visual recognition of a setting item to be actually set. The apparatus displays setting items in one column and displays each of displayed setting items and a corresponding setting content in one row; in response to a selection of any one of the displayed setting items, displays the selected setting item by expanding the selected setting item, and displays the setting items not selected, by compressing the setting items not selected; and in response to a selection of any one of the setting contents corresponding to the selected setting item, displays the selected setting content by expanding it larger than the setting contents corresponding to the setting items not selected.
Abstract:
It is not possible to display image data exchanged between portable terminals with different output capabilities. The data processing control apparatus processes processing object data based on the output capability of an output device capable of outputting the processing object data such as image data, and outputs to the output device the processed data that is the processed processing object data. Therefore, the processing object data was converted to the data adapted for the output capability of the output device so that the output device can output any processing object data.
Abstract:
This invention provides a first communication apparatus, which makes a facsimile communication via a packet communication network and can describe different contents image header information each including a date, time, source information, destination information, and the like in image data having a predetermined number of pixels upon sending the image data to a plurality of destinations, and a communication method. This invention also provides a second communication apparatus which makes a facsimile communication via a packet communication network and has a first mode in which image header information such as a date, time, source information, destination information, and the like can be described in image data having a predetermined number of pixels and can send the image data, and a second mode in which image data having one of various resolutions and an indefinite number of pixels can be sent.
