An apparatus and method for processing paper ejected from an image forming device includes the use of a plurality of bins for sorting the paper ejected from the image forming device into packets and for housing the packets. A tray for stacking the packets is provided, along with a packet conveying device for conveying the packets from the plurality of bins to the tray. A detection device is included for detecting the maximum amount of paper that can be stacked onto the tray. A control device is also included which performs a number of controlling functions such as halting the packet conveying device, counting the number of empty bins from which the packets have already been removed and transmitting the number to an image forming device controller, in addition to controlling the guidance of the paper subsequently ejected from the image forming device in the empty bins.

A plurality of double-faced originals in a series of pages are stacked on a tray with a first page faced upward. An original transport mechanism is arranged to transport a first sheet of original fed by a feed roller to an exposure position through an intermediate waiting position on a platen glass for image exposure of a first page. Then, the original transport mechanism forwards the first sheet of original to a reverse/discharge roller provided downstream side of a transport belt to invert the surface and reverse side of the original. Thereafter, the original is returned to the intermediate waiting position by the transport belt.Further, the original transport mechanism forwards a second sheet of original preliminarily fed to a position just before the transport belt to the exposure position by the transport belt side by side with the first sheet of original for an image exposure process without having a gap between second page of first original and third page of the second original to simultaneously expose images on one copy sheet. Thereafter, the original transport mechanism repeats the same procedures for a preceding original and a succeeding original to be fed preliminarily.

In an image processing apparatus, determination is made whether an interruptive print wait state is attained during interruptive printing. When determination is made that the apparatus is in an interruptive print wait state, an interruption recover process is effected. Then, the apparatus returns to the normal mode prior to interruption. Thus, an image processing apparatus is provided that can have the waiting time caused by an interruption in the normal job reduced.

Setting items in a print setting screen are updated and displayed in response to a changing operation. It is determined whether or not print settings are changed from the initial state. If it is determined that print settings are changed from the initial state, a test print button is displayed. If it is determined that print settings are not changed from the initial state, a full print button is displayed.

A plurality of MFPs are connected to a data transfer system, and one of the MFPs functions as a representing MFP. The representing MFP monitors a connection status of the MFPs and a PC to the data transfer system. Upon detection of a change in the connection status, the representing MFP assigns the PC connected to the data transfer system after the change to each of the plurality of MFPs in an order up to a maximum number of PCs that can be connected, and has information necessary for carrying out data transfer to the PC be stored in the MFPs connected to the data transfer system in a distributed manner.

A FAX transmission system is composed of: a plurality of first FAX gateways having a function of receiving FAX data from a sending FAX machine over a telephone network and forwarding the FAX data over a communication network other than the telephone network; and a plurality of second FAX gateways having a function of receiving FAX data over the communication network and forwarding the FAX data to a receiving FAX machine over the telephone network. A first FAX gateway in the FAX transmission system acquires, for each second FAX gateway, device information that includes (i) an address on the communication network of the second FAX gateway and (ii) an address on the telephone network of the second FAX gateway or information for acquiring the telephone network address, and transmits the acquired device information to at least one other of the first FAX gateways.

An image forming apparatus which is superior in operability and does not uselessly read image data is provided. When image data is once read and then a copy start key is pressed again, a determination is made as to whether an automatic document feeder has not been opened and a new original has not been set in the automatic document feeder from the end of a previous read operation to the next pressing of the start key. If the condition is satisfied, image data which is stored in a memory by the previous read operation is read out and printed. If the condition is not satisfied, an original image is read again.

摘要:
An image processing apparatus performs specific processing on images read out of a document having pages as follows. Each of the pages is a member assigned to at least any one of groups. The apparatus determines a second security level of each group based on a first security level of each page of the corresponding group; before the specific processing on the N-th group, determines whether or not password entry is necessary based on the second security level of the N-th group and any of the second security levels of the first group through the (N−1)-th group; and performs the specific processing on the N-th group if it is determined that password entry is unnecessary for the N-th group, or, alternatively, if it is determined that password entry is necessary for the N-th group and if a password is appropriately entered.
