In the image data processing of the digital copying machine (M), the image data is assigned to the expanders (30,31) in such a manner that the expansion time of each of the expanders (30,31) is close to one another. Thus, because the difference of the expansion time between the expanders (30,31) is very close to one another, both of the expanders (30,31) can be efficiently used so that the timing when printing can be started is quickened. In consequence, the speed of expansion processing or print processing is improved.

In an image forming apparatus for reading a document image and forming the document image on a paper, document image data are divided into a plurality of blocks and the document image data are compressed in the unit of block to be stored in a first memory device. The data read from the first memory device are expanded in the unit of block to be stored in a second memory device. Compression time and expansion time are estimated and image output start time for a printer is set based on the compression and expansion times before expansion of all the blocks is completed. In a different way, the start time is set to read data from a second memory device by a printer for printing, after estimation based on expansion time on data not yet expanded by an expansion device. In a still different way, predetermined form data such as page number are superposed with image data. The form data is drawn first in a page memory device and expanded image data are superposed next in the page memory device. Print is started by taking drawing time of the form data into account.

In a shadow process mode, a scanner reads out an original with a first exposure lamp in a first scanning operation. The readout image data is stored in an image memory via an I/O control unit. In the second scanning operation, the scanner reads out the original with a second exposure lamp having an illumination direction different from that of the first exposure lamp. The image data read out in the second scanning operation and the data stored in the image memory are subtracted for each pixel by a subtractor. The difference thereof is compared with a predetermined value in a comparator. The compared result is output to a selector, whereby a desired image data is provided to a printer processing unit via the I/O control unit.

The facsimile machine according to the invention can set a so-called night time collective time designation mode for power saving during night time processing time. Turning on a prescribed operation key of the facsimile machine permits printing. More specifically, even when the machine is in the power saving state, a printing operation is permitted in response to a key input.

A digital copying machine as an example of an image forming apparatus sets a copying operation time period per sheet based on the size of a copying sheet. If the remaining number of sheets corresponding to an expendable in the digital copying machine decreases, time at which this expandable runs out is displayed, and time at which a discharge tray is filled is displayed if the number of sheets to be discharged onto the discharge tray is expected to exceed a fixed value. As a result, an image forming apparatus permitting an operator to smoothly perform processings with the apparatus if a copying operation to a set of documents formed of a plurality of sheets cannot be completed.

In printing both sides of plural sheets of paper by using a digital copy machine having a circulating-type duplexing unit, when a back face of the first page is printed after printing a front face thereof, if it is likely to collide with a sheet of paper for the second page, priority is given to printing of the back face of the first page. If the front faces of both first and second pages are already printed, then control proceeds so as not to collide with the sheet of paper for the back face of the second page irrespective of delay in printing the back face of the first page.
摘要:
An image forming apparatus receives a print request and image information data from a terminal device connected to it via a network and executes a print job. The print job processing status is stored in a non-volatile memory. When the power to the printer is restored after being terminated, where print jobs that have not yet been processed are determined to exist after reference to the print job processing status stored in the non-volatile memory. The terminal device that requested said print job is requested to resend the image information data for that print job. Therefore, if the terminal device is constructed such that it receives the resend request and resends the image information data, the image forming apparatus can smoothly execute the non-processed print jobs based on the resent image information data.

A gate driver circuit that can supply a negative gate voltage to a high-side circuit without being additionally provided with an insulated power supply is realized. A driver circuit is configured such that a half-bridge circuit in which a first transistor and a second transistor are connected in series includes a capacitor that supplies a negative gate voltage to a high-side first transistor via a first control circuit, and a control circuit power supply that supplies a negative gate voltage to a low-side second transistor via a second control circuit, one end of the capacitor being connected to a negative voltage VEE on a negative terminal side of the control circuit power supply via a switching element, and the other end being connected to a voltage on an output terminal, wherein the switching element is controlled to be on upon a timing when the second transistor is turned on.

An administrator instructs creation of a volume to a virtual storage device and registration of a host port for providing access permission to the volume. The virtual storage device searches a candidate of a physical storage device capable of reaching the host port and a candidate of the target port based on the access permission information, and creates a distributed volume astride the candidate physical storage device. The distributed volume is composed of a plurality of partial volumes, and the partial volumes inherit the functions of the storage device and the access permission information set for the distributed volume. The virtual storage device distributes an access permission to the physical storage device, constitutes the access permission information of the host port and the volume with respect to the candidate target port, and registers the access permission information of the host port and the target port to the SAN switch.
