Abstract:
An image processing system includes a printing unit configured to print an image, a managing unit configured to manage charging information that can be reduced according to print processing performed by the printing unit, and a control unit configured to slow down the print processing performed by the printing unit if an available printing remaining amount indicated by the charging information is less than a predetermined value.
Abstract:
An image forming apparatus capable of printing a non-standard size image on a sheet of a size as desired by the user as possible, and preventing stoppage of printing the image even when there is no sheet of the size desired by the user in a sheet feeder. When image data is for a non-standard size, if there is a sheet feeder accommodating recording sheets of which vertical and lateral lengths corresponding to vertical and lateral lengths represented by the image data are designated, a control unit feeds the sheets from the sheet feeding cassette. If there is no such a sheet feeder, the control unit feeds recording sheets of a free size from a manual feed tray accommodating the recording sheets of the free size.
Abstract:
In an image processing system, a charging process for an executed print process is executed using one of a first charging method and a second charging method. Especially, when executing a print process of an image including a plurality of pages, it is determined before the start of the print process of the image including the plurality of pages on the basis of balance information managed in advance whether execution of the print process of the image including the plurality of pages is possible. When the first charging method is selected, execution of the print process is controlled on the basis of the result of determination. When the second charging method is selected, the print process is executed without determination.
Abstract:
The image data with the copy-forgery-inhibited pattern image added and an image area flag signal stored in the hard disk drive are inputted into a thinning filter. A thinning circuit does not perform thinning processing on these pieces of data and outputs the inputted image, as it is. The filter performs processing so that an image of a copy-forgery-inhibited pattern background part may be deleted. A selector selects an image signal not passing through the filter for a latent mark of the copy-forgery-inhibited pattern whose image area flag is set as “Character,” and select an image signal subjected to the processing by the filter for a copy-forgery-inhibited pattern background part whose image area flag is set as “Photograph.” By doing so, it is possible to perform low pass processing on only the copy-forgery-inhibited pattern background part and perform processing of making a latent-mark part emerge.
Abstract:
A data processing apparatus executes a plurality of types of jobs. In this apparatus, it is determined whether the execution history of each type of job is to be indicated. The execution history is stored if it is determined that it is to be indicated. The execution history is then transmitted to a PC on a network connected to the data processing apparatus and is displayed as a history list.
Abstract:
A sheet processing apparatus for processing sheets from an image forming apparatus includes a first processing unit for processing a sheet, the first processing unit including a processing station for processing a sheet, a first path for transporting a sheet therethrough, and a second path for transporting a sheet to the processing station, a second processing unit for processing the sheet transported from the first processing unit, a power supply for supplying power independently to the first processing unit and the second processing unit. The first processing unit selects the first path when the first processing unit is not supplied with power by the power supply.
Abstract:
A double-sided manuscript is scanned and copied without degrading the security level and information leakage due to copy of the manuscript is prevented. When it is instructed to copy a manuscript in which a code indicating copy permission exists on a first side and the code does not exist on a second side, a copy is output, with one side bearing thereon a copied image of the first side and the other side being blank.

Abstract:
Page numbers on original document volumes that have been read are deleted from the read image information as a part of image processing, and page information sorted with the original document pages of multiple read original document volumes as a single document is superimposed onto the image information from which the page numbers have been deleted, following which the pages are printed out. The pages are thus provided with serial page numbers according to the sorting thereof, and situations wherein both original and new page numbers are present on the pages can be avoided.
Abstract:
An image formation apparatus obtains optimum double-face print output results aligned in a binding direction even if plural recording sheet sizes mixedly exist in one document. To do so, a CPU of a formatter unit judges consistency between image formation directions on different-size recording sheets on the basis of a designation state of a short edge binding double-face mode or a long edge binding double-face mode designated to a print job by a PC/WS and a designation state of the recording sheet size independently designated to each page of the print job, and it is then controlled based on the judged result that double-face image formation to the recording sheet of either of the designated sizes is performed based on the other double-face mode than the double-face mode actually designated to the print job.
