Abstract: A printing system including printing equipment in which, even if the equipment are interconnected through an interface pursuant to the IEEE 1394 standard, the printing image may be set to effect printing. There is provided a CPU 23 for generating the printing control information containing the text printing image information indicating the picture processing contents for the text at the time of printing and the picture printing image information indicating the processing contents for a picture at the time of printing. There is also provided a data conversion unit 13 which manages control so that picture data and the printing control information will be contained in a packet consistent with the IEEE 1394 standard and sent as output to a printer device 5, and so that the picture data contained in the packet sent as output to the printer device 5 will be printed in accordance with the printing control information. When packets are transmitted/received between the equipment interconnected through the IEEE 1394 interface to print the picture data, the picture processing consistent with the text printing image information and the picture printing image information is performed on the picture data on the side printer device 5 to print the text or the picture.

Abstract: An email communication system employed in a packet switching network environment for transmission of an email message including at least one fax message for use by fax recipient(s), through the packet switching network environment, includes a network device for communication with one or more mail servers. The mail servers are responsive to an email message having at least one tax message received from an email user. The network device receives the email message, through a forward connection, from one of the mail servers and converts the received email message into the fax message for transmission thereof to at least one fax recipient. The network device further starts to transmit the email message with context information appended thereto, forming a reverse email message, back to one of the mail servers, wherein the mail server is used to store the reverse email message until the mail server is ready to send the same to the network device thereby avoiding the need for secondary storage within the network device.

Abstract: When image data read by a scanner apparatus is to be transferred to and displayed by a simplified portable terminal, the capability such as the size or color depth of an image display area may be lower than that of the scanned image data. If this is the case, the terminal transfers its capability to the scanner apparatus, and the scanner apparatus converts the scanned image data into image data matching the capability of the terminal. The obtained image data is transmitted to and displayed by the terminal. This obviates the need for a user to set complicated parameters on the scanner apparatus. This can also reduce the load of image processing performed by the terminal on image data transmitted from the scanner apparatus.

Abstract translation: 当由扫描仪装置读取的图像数据被传送到简化的便携式终端并由简化的便携式终端显示时，诸如图像显示区域的尺寸或颜色深度的能力可能低于扫描图像数据的能力。 如果是这种情况，则终端将其能力传送到扫描仪装置，并且扫描仪装置将扫描图像数据转换为与终端的能力相匹配的图像数据。 所获得的图像数据被发送到终端显示。 这消除了用户在扫描仪装置上设置复杂参数的需要。 这还可以减少由终端对从扫描仪装置发送的图像数据执行的图像处理的负担。

Abstract: Transmission data is generated through a conversion process in which character string data attached to e-mail is matched with a character set type that can be processed by a destination terminal apparatus. In addition, character string data of set phrases that are generated by using character sets that are standard in each plurality of language types is stored in a language-based set phrase memory. By selecting a set phrase registered in the language-based set phrase memory, based on a language type that is set by the destination terminal apparatus, transmission data is generated in accordance with the character string data. Capability information in relation to a character set type and language type is either obtained from MDN data within a response mail to be stored in an address-based terminal capability memory, or obtained via a communication process in accordance with an ESMTP step.
