    Abstract: In a color facsimile apparatus capable of receiving a monochrome image and a color image, a monochrome image printing cartridge, a general color image printing cartridge and a photograph image printing cartridge can be selectively installed in a printing unit. When the kind of received image does not correspond to the kind of installed cartridge, the received image is stored in a memory, and a warning is given to a user. Further, when recording of the received image is forcedly performed based on a user's instruction even in this case, the user is inquired whether or not the image stored in the memory is to be deleted.

    Abstract: A data communications apparatus comprises a memory and a system controller including a data transfer unit and a determination unit. The data transfer unit receives data from a source terminal, stores the received data in the memory, and transfers the stored data to a destination terminal. The determination unit determines whether data transfer to the destination terminal has been successfully carried out. The data transfer unit further tries to retransmit the data up to a predetermined number of times if the data transfer has been unsuccessful. The memory retains the data for a predetermined period of time if the predetermined number of retransmissions was unsuccessful.

    Abstract: A system and method for verifying a printed document. Generally, the system is implemented to automatically compare first and second images and provide an output with respect thereto. In an illustrative embodiment, the inventive system includes a computer for providing a first electronic image of a document. The image may be provided via a network such as the Internet. A printer is coupled to the computer and driven to print the document. The document is then scanned to provide a second electronic image of the document. The scanned image is then compared to the original image to provide verification of the printed output. For text based documents, the first and second images may be converted to text using conventional optical character recognition software to facilitate comparison. In a refinement of the present teachings, a mechanism is provided to detect a file characterization by which a restriction may be imposed on the number of the documents to be printed. If a document is restricted, successful printouts above the restriction are disabled. As a further refinement, a second mechanism is included to enable a fingerprint to be printed on the restricted document. When scanned, the fingerprint provides an indication of the operability of the printer and the scanner. In the event the fingerprint is not detected, the printer is disabled. This mechanism would be useful in a pay-to-print application to frustrate fraudulent efforts to disable the scanner and thereby cause the printer to output unauthorized printouts.

    Abstract: An MFP can transmit image data read by a scanner by attaching it to E-mail. At the time of transmission, the image data input by the scanner and stored in a work memory is converted into mail data so as to be transmitted by E-mail, and the mail data is stored again into the work memory. The mail data is divided every predetermined reference data size into divided files which are sequentially transmitted as divided mails. When completion of transmission of divided mails corresponding to a unit image is confirmed, the image data and mail data of the unit image are eliminated from the work memory. By sequentially performing such a process, the memory use efficiency can be improved while holding image data of a unit image which has not been transmitted yet.

    Abstract translation: MFP可以通过将扫描仪读取的图像数据附加到电子邮件来发送。 在发送时,由扫描器输入并存储在工作存储器中的图像数据被转换成邮件数据,以便通过电子邮件发送,并将邮件数据再次存储到工作存储器中。 将邮件数据按预定的参考数据大小划分成分割的文件,这些分割的文件作为分开的邮件顺序传送。 当确认对应于单位图像的分割邮件的传输完成时,从工作存储器中消除单位图像的图像数据和邮件数据。 通过顺序地执行这种处理,可以在保持尚未发送的单元图像的图像数据的同时改善存储器使用效率。

    Abstract: An image forming apparatus such as digital copying machine can perform an operation to read the original document by an image reader and an operation to output image data stored in an image memory by a printer, independently of each other. A first timer measures a period of time that has elapsed since the suspension of reading of the original document by the image reader. A second timer measures a period of time that has elapsed since the suspension of output of image data stored in the image by the printer. The timers running independently of each other. Therefore even when one of the processes is continuing, if the other process is suspended due to either intentional discontinuation or an error, this other process may be cleared. As a result, an operator who wishes to input a job to the digital copying machine can learn the current status of each job residing in the digital copying machine.
