    Abstract: A reference device includes an operation section, a function collecting section, a function selection screen generating section, and a remote connection section. The function collecting section receives a function list from another device connected to a network. The function selection screen generating section generates a function selection screen including a function of the reference device and a function present only in the other device by comparing the function list received from the other device to a function list of the reference device and displays the function selection screen on the operation section. When the function present only in the other device is selected in the function selection screen, the remote connection section remotely connects the other device in which the selected function is present to the operation section of the reference device.

    Abstract: An image processing apparatus has a plurality of image processing functions, executes processing based on an OS as an operation system, and includes an OS memory and a control device. The control device functions as an allocating device, a determination device, and a release device. The allocating device allocates, on the OS memory, image processing memories used for image processing, for the image processing functions, respectively. The determination device determines, based on respective past usage statuses of the image processing memories allocated for each of the image processing functions, regions unlikely to be used, of the image processing memories. The release device, upon occurring memory shortage in the OS memory, releases the regions of the image processing memories determined by the determination device to resolve the memory shortage.

    Abstract: Provided is an image forming apparatus capable of executing a copy job without causing a memory shortage by dividing and sequentially executing the copy job process. The image forming apparatus includes a free area determining unit and a division process executing unit. The free area determining unit compares capacities of work areas necessary for executing a scanning job and a printing job with free area in memory (RAM), respectively. The division process executing unit, in a case where the free area determining unit determines that the free area in memory is equal to or greater than the capacity of the work area necessary for executing the scanning job, but is less than the capacity of the work area necessary for executing the printing job, cancels parallel processing, and after executing the scanning process, saves in a non-volatile memory, and then after restarting, executes the printing process.

    Abstract: An image forming apparatus which implements a plurality of functions includes: storage with a prescribed storage area; an operating system which implements at least some of the functions by allocating a part of the prescribed storage area for a plurality of processes and executing the processes; and a storage area managing section which predicts an amount of consumed memory in response to generation of a job and determines whether or not the amount of consumed memory is allocable to the job in the prescribed storage area. The job is a processing target for the image forming apparatus. The amount of consumed memory is used for processing the job by the image forming apparatus. When determining that the amount of consumed memory is not allocable, the storage area managing section ends at least one process which is not used to process the job to make the amount of predicted memory allocable.

    Abstract: When a file name corresponding to newly received print data is not stored, a control portion calculates a paper feed control time and associates the paper feed control time with the file name corresponding to the newly received print data and stores the paper feed control time and the file name in a storage portion whereas when the file name corresponding to the newly received print data is stored, with timing at which the paper feed control time associated with the file name corresponding to the newly received print data elapses after the start of RIP processing on a first page, the control portion starts the paper feed of a first sheet.
