Abstract:
An output signal of an optical reading line sensor is converted into a digital signal by an A/D converter and, thereafter, is shading corrected by a shading correction circuit, and is inputted to a magnification processing circuit through a selector. An optical reading scanning speed by the line sensor can be freely changed. There are a first mode for zooming a read image by changing the scanning speed of the line sensor, a second mode for zooming the read image by the magnification processing circuit, and a third mode for commonly performing the zoom by changing the scanning speed of the line sensor and the zoom by the magnification processing circuit. Any one of the modes is adaptively selected in accordance with a size of original and a reading resolution.
Abstract:
An image formation apparatus that loads a sheaf of originals obtained by stacking a sheaf of the originals to be copied and a sheaf of originals for front and reverse cover sheets, feeds the originals one by one from the loaded sheaf, reads the fed original and stores a read original image, reading the original images of four pages form the storage and forms the images of two pages on each of front and reverse faces of a sheet. Controlling the reading such that the original image for the cover sheet is formed on the sheet different from the sheet not for the cover sheet and such that plural sheets on which the images have been respectively formed are folded in two while being stacked.
Abstract:
The present invention is to allow display based on the setting positions of devices in selection of a desired device to be used, and facilitate selection considering the setting positions of the devices. The present invention can also display equipments so as to allow discrimination between an equipment included in an image processing apparatus and an equipment connected on a communication line. Equipments in a network environment are placed on the first floor (1F), the second floor (2F), and the third floor (3F) in a building and connected through a network (LAN 1300). For example, a computer (1310) collects device information including status information and setting position information from usable input/output devices. For example, status information representing “BUSY” and setting position information representing “3F-B block” are transferred from a virtual optical scanner (1302). The computer (1310) displays the connected input/output devices together with the setting position information obtained from the devices. An image processing apparatus (100) has various input/output devices including a reader unit (1), a printer unit (2), and an image input/output control unit (3). In addition, various input/output equipments (two optical scanner devices (1302, 1303) and three facsimile transmission/reception devices (1305, 1306, 1307)) are connected to the image processing apparatus (100) through a LAN interface unit (9) and the LAN (1300). A CPU (123) of a core unit (10) manages the input/output equipments to determine whether they are connected through the network. When a desired input/output equipment is to be selected, whether the input/output equipments are connected through the network is explicitly indicated.
Abstract:
An image forming apparatus is provided with a first sheet enclosing unit to enclose sheets in a first direction, a second sheet enclosing unit to enclose sheets in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, an image forming unit to form an image onto the sheet fed from either one of the first and second sheet enclosing units, a sorter having a plurality of bins for enclosing the sheet on which the image was formed by the image forming unit, and a judging unit to judge an enclosing state of the sheet of each bin of the sorter. The image forming unit selects either one of the first and second sheet enclosing units on the basis of the result of the judgment of the judging unit and allows the selected sheet enclosing unit to feed the sheet.
Abstract:
An image forming apparatus includes an image forming unit for forming images onto sheets in either one of a first mode for sequentially forming the images onto the sheets from a last page and a second mode for sequentially forming the images onto the sheets from a front page. The apparatus also includes a rotation processing unit for rotating the image in the direction of 180.degree. for the direction of the image in the first mode before the image forming unit forms the images in the second mode. The apparatus further includes a tray for stacking the sheets, a reversing path for reversing the sheet in the second mode, a conveying path for conveying the sheets formed with the images by the image forming unit to the tray directly or through the reversing path, and a stapler for performing a stapling on an upstream side in the conveying direction in the sheet and on a left side or a right side in the conveying direction. The stapler performs the stapling on the left side in the conveying direction in the first mode and on the right side in the conveying direction in the second mode.

Abstract:
An image forming system that does not impair the operability of a standardized external apparatus functions in a standard mode and an individual mode. The mode of the system is selected using a mode-switching switch on an operation unit or a work station. A display screen of the operation unit is switched in correspondence with the selected mode.
