摘要:
An image processing apparatus includes an engine controller for controlling an image forming mechanism for forming an image on a sheet based on image data, a printer controller for forming image data from printing data transferred from an external apparatus, for transmitting the image data to the engine controller, and for transmitting a command for setting an operation of the engine controller to the engine controller, and a reader controller for controlling an original-reading device for outputting image data by reading an image of an original, and for transmitting the image data output from the original-reading device to the engine controller. The reader controller is provided between the printer controller and the engine controller so as to be in communication with both the printer controller and the engine controller, and so as to control an acquisition right to use the engine controller with the printer controller.

摘要:
The image formation by the plural-image formation mode is manually inhibited by the user in case the image formation is interrupted or the formed image is distorted by defective original feeding in the image formation by such plural-image formation mode. As a result, image formation of high quality can be achieved without trouble. The configuration for this purpose is featured by manually inhibiting the plural-image formation mode by depression of a touch key on an operation unit.
摘要:
An image formation device, such as a printer, forms an image in a transfer format. The image formation device is configured to execute a predetermined down sequence to prepare the device for the next image formation operation after completion of an image formation operation. Alternatively, when a predetermined condition is satisfied, the device is configured to execute a blank rotation sequence instead of executing the down sequence after completion of an image formation operation. The device may have the ability to form an image from different image generation sources. A determination of whether an image formation operation switches from one image generation source to using another image generation source may be based on whether the predetermined condition is satisfied. The predetermined condition may be that the sizes of the images formed using each image generation source are equal. The down sequence may include a density control for stabilizing a cleaning operation inside the device and an output density of the device. The blank rotation sequence may not include the density control. The device may also be configured to restart an image formation operation after the blank rotation sequence.

摘要:
An image processing apparatus and method which has a function of adjusting an image processing condition, in accordance with a condition change caused by some reasons, such as time elapsing or circumstance change. According to one aspect, the image processing apparatus reads an original and generates first image data, receives second image data from an external apparatus, processes the first or the second image data for forming an image, judges the necessity of adjusting an image process condition of process means, and adjusts the image processing condition based on the judgement result. However, so as to avoid image differences caused if the adjustment process occurs during interruption of an image process job, in case the necessity of adjusting is judged during an image process job, adjusting means restrains the adjusting operation until the image process job is finished.

A plurality of image processing apparatuses connected to a network share an external storage device such as a CDROM with each other to indicate a guidance when a trouble happens. Each image processing apparatus, when the troubles happens, outputs a request for transferring display data corresponding to a type of the trouble to the external storage device. This facilitates changing the guidance displayed. If the image processing apparatuses are used as peripheral units to a plurality of computers, and when a construction of the peripheral unit is varied, a driver program corresponding thereto is transferred to the plurality of computers.
摘要:
An image processing apparatus for outputting image data in accordance with a designated output mode is constructed by an input unit to input the image data; a memory to store the image data inputted by the input unit; an output unit capable of outputting the image data stored in the memory in accordance with the output mode; a discrimination unit to discriminate a remaining capacity of the memory; and a change unit to change the output mode in the case where it is discriminated by the discrimination unit that the remaining capacity of the memory lacks. In the case where the designated output mode is a mode for discontinuously outputting the image data inputted continuously by the input unit by the output unit, the change unit changes the mode to continuously output the image data.
摘要:
An image forming system which freely combines functions of a plurality of devices connected on a network in accordance with necessity, and a control system for the system. Each of the plurality of devices stores information indicating functions which can be provided by the device in advance. A functional unit which serves as a supervisor collects these stored information and analyzes a combination of functions to perform operation designated by a user, based on the collected information. Then the supervisor combines the functions based on the result of analysis and performs the desired processing operation by the combination of functions.
