An information processing apparatus includes an accepting unit that accepts from a user a command relating to security; a setting unit that makes a setting relating to security of the information processing apparatus based upon the command from the user accepted by the accepting unit; a recording unit that performs the following operation in a case where the accepting unit has accepted a command for changing a security-related setting that has already been made by the setting unit: before the setting unit changes the security-related setting, the recording unit records an event, among events that occur in the information processing apparatus, the content of which will be different between a case where the security-related setting is changed and a case where the security-related setting is not changed; and a notification unit that notifies the user based upon the event that has been recorded by the recording unit.

An information security managing technique for use when a plurality of image processing apparatuses cooperate with each other to process a single job. In a case where a single job is cooperatively executed by a plurality of image processing apparatuses via a network, an image processing apparatus as a cooperation destination determines whether or not an image deletion level designated by an image processing apparatus as a cooperation source in the job is supported. When the image deletion level is not supported, the cooperation-destination image processing apparatus determines whether or not the job can be executed without using an HDD provided in the cooperation-destination image processing apparatus. When the job can be executed without using the HDD, the cooperation-destination image processing apparatus performs control such that the job is executed without using the specific storage medium.

An image file may be stored in an image forming apparatus in both a device-specific and a general-purpose format. To appropriately select whether to store an image file in either or both formats, according to the image file being stored, an image forming apparatus that is connected to an external device inputs the image data via an image input unit, and uses a specific image generating unit to generate a P-JPEG data, a device-specific format. A general image generating unit generates a PDF data, in accordance with the P-JPEG data, that can be interpreted by the external device as well as the image forming apparatus, and both the P-JPEG data and the PDF data are stored in a storage unit. A control unit controls generating the PDF data by the general image generating unit, according to the box attributes of the storage unit.

Disclosed is an image processing apparatus in which image data is generated by a formatter based upon PDL data from a host computer and the image data is output from a printer via an image input/output controller. The apparatus has a scanner unit and a facsimile unit and is capable of transmitting data and of scanning an image while printing is in progress. The formatter senses a service call arising from an error or the like and sends the image input/output controller a request to display this fact. As a result of detection of the error, the image input/output controller halts communication with the formatter and sends a RESET signal to the formatter, whereby the formatter is initialized. Even if an abnormaly occurs in a printing function, therefore, recovery of the printing function can be achieved without affecting the scanner and facsimile functions.

When the printing operation of a printer is restricted during the execution of a print job including print data of a plurality of pages, an image processing apparatus of the invention executes a retreat mode for storing image data obtained by developing the print data of the subsequent pages in which the printing operation has been restricted into an image memory. When a status to be restricted is cancelled, the printing operation is restarted by using the image data retreated into the image memory.

An image forming apparatus includes a unit for inputting image information from an external apparatus, a unit for forming an image on a recording medium, a unit for reading an original, a unit for detecting a jam of the recording medium, a unit for being manually operated by an operator, and a unit for controlling a recovery operation from a jammed state. The apparatus includes a first mode for forming an image corresponding to the input image information, and a second mode for forming a composite image by synthesizing the image corresponding to the input image information with an image of the original read by the reading unit. The control unit starts the recovery operation from the jammed state in response to release of the jam in the first mode, and starts the recovery operation from the jammed state in response to a manual operation of the operation unit by the operator after release of the jam in the second mode.
摘要:
An image processor, in which the attributes of an image are classified, and optimal processing for each attribute is performed, thereby improving the overall quality of the image. When this processing method is applied to a copying machine, a high processing efficiency is realized, and an area designating operation is omitted. The image processor includes a block selection processing unit for classifying images stored in a storage unit according to various attributes and provides area information for each attribute.

An information processing system comprises a core, and a sub-unit (for example, a facsimile unit, a file unit, and a computer interface unit, a formater or an image memory) connected to the core, and the core and the sub-unit are connected by two types of buses, synchronous type and asynchronous type. Where the data transfer between the core and the sub-unit is to be effected through the asynchronous bus, the core may simultaneously transfer data to another sub-unit by using the synchronous bus. Where the data transfer between the core and the sub-unit is to be effected by the synchronous bus, the data may be parallelly transferred to a plurality of sub-units.

An synthetic-image forming apparatus including: an interface for inputting image information from a computer; a scanner for inputting original document image information; an operation portion for inputting region information indicating a region in which images are synthesized; an operation portion for selecting a printer base mode in which the image information from the interface is synthesized onto outside of the region and image information from the scanner is synthesized onto inside of the region or a scanner base mode in which the image information from the interface is synthesized onto inside of the region and the image information from the scanner is synthesized onto outside of the region; image forming portion for synthesizing the image information from the interface and the image information from the scanner in accordance with the mode selected by the operation portion and the region information supplied from the operation portion and forming an image on a selected sheet in accordance with the synthesized image information; and a control portion that inhibits an image forming operation of the image forming portion if image size included in the image information supplied from the interface and size of the selected sheet do not coincide with each other in the printer base mode and that permits the image forming portion to start the image forming operation if the image size of the image information supplied from the interface and the size of the selected sheet do not coincide with each other in the scanner base mode.
摘要:
An image forming apparatus is provided that includes a storage unit configured to store print data which is received from a host, a generation unit configured to read the print data which is stored in the storage unit and generate an intermediate code, and an image forming unit configured to form an image according to the intermediate code which is generated by the generation unit. The image forming apparatus also has a restriction unit that is configured not to restrict execution of a specific print function if a processing unit configured to process the print data by interactively communicating with the host is not installed in the image forming apparatus, and is configured to restrict execution of the specific print function if the processing unit configured to process the print data by interactively communicating with the host is installed in the image forming apparatus.
