Abstract:
A method for routing a confirmation of receipt of a facsimile or portion thereof according to one embodiment of the present invention includes analyzing text of a facsimile for at least one of a meaning and a context of the text; and routing one or more confirmations to one or more destinations based on the analysis.
Abstract:
Methods, devices, and computer-readable storage media are provided. Some embodiments of the invention include an image processing device displaying on a display of the image processing device a machine-readable code, wherein information encoded in the machine-readable code is usable by a mobile computing device to establish a communication session between the mobile computing device and the image processing device. In some embodiments, the mobile computing device reads the machine-readable code, obtains the information by decoding the machine-readable code, and establishes the communication session using the information. In some embodiments, during the communication session, the image processing device receives a scan command, scans a physical document in response to the scan command, and sends an electronic document representing the scanned physical document to the mobile computing device.
Abstract:
A network scan apparatus includes: a scanner including a scanning unit to scan a document and generate an image file based on the scanned document, a transmitting unit to transmit the image file, and an output selection unit to select whether to output scan file information; an output device, connected to the scanner, via a network, to output the scan file information according to whether the scan file information is selected to be output after a scanning operation; and a host computer connected to the scanner and the output device via the network, to collect the scan file information transmitted from the scanner, and transmit the scan file information to the output device.
Abstract:
An image recording apparatus, including: a housing; an image recording portion held by the housing; a control board having a mounting face and disposed in the housing such that the mounting face extends along a perpendicular plane perpendicular to a height direction, a control circuit for controlling the image recording portion being provided on the control board; and a communication board having a mounting face and disposed in the housing such that the mounting face extends along the perpendicular plane, such that the communication board is distant from the control board in a direction along the perpendicular plane, and such that the communication board is located within a height range ranging to the control board from a distal end of a highest one of mounted components mounted on the control board, an interface circuit to be connected to a telephone line being provided on the communication board.
Abstract:
An electronic device is provided that is capable of dealing with data loss from a volatile memory that can be caused when power supply from a device power source is disconnected. Even if there is a setting to retain received data in the volatile memory until a printing instruction is given by a user, the electronic device, e.g., an image forming apparatus, prints received data without waiting for the user's printing instruction in a case where a backup battery voltage is less than a predetermined value.
Abstract:
Common portions of applications are extracted as common system service. A platform is formed by the common system service and a general purpose OS. A printer application, a copy application, and various applications are mounted on the platform. As a result, each software (application) corresponding to a printer, a copier, a facsimile device, and so on can be developed efficiently and the productivity of the apparatus as a whole can be improved.
Abstract:
A facsimile apparatus includes a common setting which specifies whether a report regarding facsimile transmission is to be outputted, or not, and a specific setting which specifies whether an output of the report regarding facsimile transmission is to be permitted, or not, for each of at least one destination of the facsimile transmission. Further, the facsimile apparatus determines whether the report related to a facsimile transmission to at least one destination is to be outputted, or not, by applying the specific setting corresponding to the at least one destination in preference to the common setting. Further, if it is determined that the report related to the facsimile transmission to the at least one destination is to be outputted, the facsimile apparatus outputs the report including information related to the facsimile transmission to the at least one destination.
Abstract:
A facsimile apparatus which is improved in user friendliness for a user to print a document received by facsimile communication and is capable of performing division printing of the document. A sheet size of sheets on which the received document is to be printed is determined. In a preview process, when a document to be printed according to a determined sheet size is to be divided so as to be printed on a plurality of sheets, a preview image of the document in which a position where the document is to be divided is indicated is displayed on a display section. Further, in the preview process, the preview image is displayed on the display section by changing the position where the document is to be divided according to designation of the sheet size by a user.
Abstract:
Techniques for transmitting information to a recipient under their control are described. In some situations, the techniques are used in conjunction with a fax delivery system to, as part of a connection established to perform a fax transmission, provide a variety of functionalities to a human recipient that is participating as part of the connection, such as when the human recipient is contacted in error. In addition, in some situations an interactive voice response system is used to receive and interpret input from a human recipient, such as in response to one or more control selections or options provided to the human recipient.
Abstract:
A facsimile apparatus that is capable of connecting to multiple lines including a first line. If a user designates the first line or the second line as a line to be used for image data transmission, the image data is transmitted via the designated line, and if the user designates that the line to be used for the image data transmission is to be automatically selected, image data transmission is performed via the first line. In the case where the image data is not able to be transmitted via the first line, if switching from the first line to the second line is set to be enabled, image data is transmitted via the second line, and if the switching is not set to be enabled, the image data is not transmitted via the second line.
