摘要:
A peripheral unit is controlled by means of a driver in another apparatus, where an instruction sent to the peripheral unit contains both data produced by the driver and data produced by another application in the other apparatus. This is done by subjecting the instruction received from the other apparatus to processing in which the data produced by the other application is deleted.

An existing printer arranged to print data from a PC (personal computer) is used as the printer unit of a facsimile apparatus. The PC uses a printer driver dedicated to an existing printer (capable of performing the same processing as the printer unit of the facsimile apparatus) as a module, serving as application software for a facsimile-apparatus control unit, for printing the data from the PC. When printing data from the PC, a command uniquely directed to the facsimile apparatus is added to the printing data generated by the PC's printer driver, and the resultant data is transmitted to the facsimile apparatus. Upon receipt of the transmitted data, the facsimile apparatus removes the added command, thus restoring the printing data generated by the printer driver, and transmits the restored data to the printer unit to perform printing. It is thus possible to use the printer unit and the printer driver which utilize existing printers, and to cause the facsimile apparatus to wait in a state of receiving a common command system.

A standard print mode or a thinning print mode can be selected at will by an input from an operation panel to record image data received by a receiving means section in a selected print mode using an ink jet recording head, And after one page of image recording, a footer mark is recorded on the trailing portion of the recording paper, and sensed by a photo sensor to determine whether or not the ink is present. This footer mark is recorded in the standard print mode without regard to the selected print mode. Thereby, the false detection of the predetermined image recorded on the recording medium, after a predefined amount of image data has been recorded, can be prevented.
摘要:
A facsimile apparatus comprises a facsimile unit for sending data corresponding to image data that has been received, and a printer unit for performing image recording by discharging ink droplets in accordance with data sent from the facsimile unit. A first CPU for the control of the facsimile unit sends, after one page of image data, data in a predetermined pattern and further a paper exhausting command to the printer. A second CPU of the printer unit performs a paper exhausting operation upon receiving the paper exhausting command, after recording of the predetermined pattern, and upon conveying the recording paper up to a predetermined position, sends a signal for starting detection of the predetermined pattern to the first CPU. The first CPU thereby receives a detection signal from a photo sensor. The second CPU further conveys the recording paper, and at a timing of exhausting out of the apparatus, sends a signal for the detection end of the predetermined pattern to the first CPU. Thereby, it is possible to detect correctly the pattern for detection of the emptiness of ink and the recording paper jam which is recorded at the trailing portion of the recording paper.
摘要:
An image reading apparatus individually reads a predetermined white reference plate by flickering light sources of the respective colors before an original image is read by sequentially turning on the light sources during one line sync period. The flickering duty ratio of the light source obtained when the white reference plate is read is set for each color so as to maximize the output value from an A/D converter within its predetermined conversion range. When an original is read, the image reading apparatus changes the emission color by switching the light source to be flickered every line sync period, and turns on the light sources of the respective colors in accordance with different duty ratios set for these colors.

An image reading apparatus capable of reading documents includes a reading unit including a light emitting element, a mechanism configured to move the reading unit, and a control unit configured to control the reading unit and the mechanism both to carry out reading by turning on the light emitting element and moving the reading unit and to temporarily stop moving the reading unit upon occurrence of a predetermined factor. The control unit sets a first current value which is caused to flow through the light emitting element when reading is carried out and sets a second current value which is less than the first current value and which is caused to flow through the light emitting element when the reading unit is temporarily stopped.

A recording apparatus includes a recording unit for ejecting an ink to a recording member, a detection unit for detecting a remaining amount of ink, a memory for storing received data, and a control unit for controlling an operation of the recording unit to record an image in accordance with the received data, and controlling the memory to store image data in the memory. The control unit controls the memory in accordance with an output from the detection unit upon completion of recording of a predetermined volume of data, clears data stored in the memory when the output from the detection unit indicates a presence of ink, and preserves data stored in the memory when the output from the detection unit indicates an absence of ink.
摘要:
An image communication system equipped with an ink jet printer having multiple ink orifices permits excellent images without ink stains. The system includes a heat fusing device actuated in accordance with reception of a call signal, and image data is received after the temperature of the heat fusing device has reached to a predetermined temperature. If the predetermined temperature is not attained within a predetermined time, an error alarm is output.

An image reading apparatus includes a carrying unit for carrying a sheet original and a book original to a reading position, an original urging member including a reference member, closed when a sheet original is carried by the carrying unit and opened when a book original is carried by the carrying member, a reading unit for reading an image of an original carried to the reading position and the reference member of the original urging member in a closed state, and a correcting unit for correcting nonuniformity of an image signal obtained by reading an original image on the basis of a reference signal obtained by reading the reference number. When the original urging member is open, the correcting unit corrects nonuniformity of an image signal on the basis of the reference signal used upon reading of a previous original image.
