Abstract:
A method and apparatus for managing a history of operations performed in an image forming apparatus that is controlled by an external connection are provided. The apparatus includes an interface unit via which an external device is connected to the image forming apparatus to control the image forming apparatus, a storage unit that stores a history obtained by controlling the image forming apparatus by the external device, and a controller that controls the history in the storage unit. Accordingly, it is possible to allow the external device to be connected to the image forming apparatus to control the image forming apparatus, and store the history of the control in the storage unit. Accordingly, a user can review operations that were performed by the image forming apparatus under the control of the external device, and determine whether important information was disclosed or whether unnecessary operations had been performed, thereby managing the image forming apparatus.
Abstract:
An image forming method used in an image forming apparatus to print an image based on printing data. The method includes displaying a first area box that corresponds to a sheet of recording medium, and a second area box that corresponds to a part of the image or a position of the part of the image on the sheet of recording medium, selecting the part of the image or the position of the part of the image on the sheet of recording medium through the first area box and the second area box, processing the printing data that corresponds to the selected part of the image, and outputting the processed printing data to the selected position of the sheet of recording medium. Thus, the image forming method and apparatus can conveniently print an image in a variety of manners according to a user taste or preference.
Abstract:
A multi-functional device and a method of storing a transmission list of users in the same. The multi-functional device includes an authenticator to authenticate one or more users, a storage unit to store a transmission list of the authenticated users, a user interface to display the transmission list of the authenticated users, a controller to read the transmission list of the authenticated users stored in the storage unit and to control the user interface to display the read list, and a communication interface to transmit and receive data. The controller controls the communication interface to transmit and receive the data to/from a transmission address, which is selected from the displayed transmission list by the user interface. When a multi-functional device is used to transmit scanned data to an electronic mail address or an Internet address, the transmission address can be selected from a recently transmitted electronic mail address list or a recently transmitted Internet address list of authenticated users such that an address desired by a user can be set up instead of directly inputting the address. Accordingly, a transmission address list of users is managed, thereby preventing the transmission address list from being discarded or deleted by other people using the multi-functional device.
Abstract:
An image forming apparatus to supply a file transmission and reception list, and a control method thereof. The image forming apparatus may include a storing part and a controlling part to store a list of transmission and reception for transmitted and received files using an FTP (File Transfer Protocol). The file transmission and reception list may include a user name, a date of file transmission and reception, a file name, a file size, an address of a file transmitter recipient, and a user ID or password to log in an FTP server transmitting and receiving the file through the image forming apparatus.
