摘要:
A colony counting apparatus includes a reading unit with a visual sensor incorporated therein. The presence of a colony is detected at the end of that colony by moving the reading unit along lines selected at an appropriate pitch and by reading data on the individual points set along each line as logical high or low signals. The values obtained in the above-described counting operation are added and stored in an addition/storage device in a CPU, and the results of addition which are stored in the addition/storage device are output to a suitable display by an outputting device when the counting operation is completed.

摘要:
An image input-output apparatus is provided with a printing function for printing an image specified by print data from an external device and a reading function for reading an original image. The apparatus includes a printing function realizing unit, a discrimination unit, and a control unit. The printing function realizing unit operates in a first mode for realizing the printing function with a relatively small memory capacity and operates in a second mode for realizing the printing function with a relatively large memory capacity. The discrimination unit discriminates whether printing of the image specified by the print data is to be realized by the first mode or the second mode. If it is discriminated that printing is to be realized by the first mode, the control unit is adapted to allow parallel execution of the printing function and the reading function. Otherwise, parallel execution is inhibited.
摘要:
Print data including text or graphics data is transferred from a host computer to a printer. The printer develops the received data on a band basis. When data processing to be performed by the printer is expected to fail due to shortage of the memory area size, the host computer cancels the data which has already been sent to the printer, and develops the text or graphics data to form image data. The image data thus formed is sent to the printer. Image data is transferred in a hierarchical manner. Disclosed also is a method which makes it possible to eliminate as much as possible any data processing failure in the printer attributable to shortage of memory capacity.
摘要:
If an optional paper feeding deck or furnisher, or paper stacker, is connected to an image forming apparatus (such as a printer), such optional devices are to be controlled by connecting the paper conveyance control apparatus to control those options. Such an image forming apparatus has a video controller to convert the printer language sent from a high-order device such as a host computer, into bit map data and a printer engine to print the bit map data. Such a paper conveyance control apparatus, being electrically connected to the video controller, has a memory to be shared with the video controller. The video controller writes the job schedule in the shared memory. The paper conveyance control apparatus controls the optional device according to the written job schedule.
