Abstract:
An image processing apparatus and method determine whether an error detecting rate of original information extracted from a code image in a read image obtained by reading a sheet on which the code image is formed, is not smaller than a predetermined value. When it is not smaller than a predetermined value, a code image is reproduced from the extracted original information and the code image in the read image is replaced therewith. One example of the code image is a barcode.
Abstract:
An information processing apparatus which includes a setting unit for setting parameters of a plurality of print properties to be assigned to file data stored in a folder, and for setting changeability information indicating whether the respective parameters are allowed to be changed when file data is stored in the folder; and a storage unit for storing the parameters and the changeability information in association with the folder.
Abstract:
An information processing apparatus, connectable to an information forming system having plural devices corresponding to plural processing stages including at least a printing stage and a bookbinding stage. Function information indicating abilities regarding plural function items of the plural devices are held, and a user interface for function selection is provided by displaying options based on contents of the function items of plural devices corresponding to one processing stage in accordance with the held function information. Then, available devices are narrowed down based on the selection of the options, and a device to be used in the processing stage is determined.

Abstract:
A printing apparatus includes a post-processing control unit, an adding control unit, and a control unit. The post-processing control unit performs control to perform binding processing for binding a print product. The adding control unit performs control to add, to the print product, a sheet representing an area where printing has been interrupted due to occurrence of an interruption factor. The control unit performs control not to perform the binding processing for the print product to which the sheet has been added by the adding control unit.
Abstract:
A data storage device transmits, when shifting to a power-saving condition, identification information (file name, and pass information) of data to another data storage device of a standby condition present in a network, in order to shift to the power-saving condition. When there is no other data storage in the standby condition in the network, the control unit specifies on of the other data storage devices an amount of power consumption of which is lower than that of the data storage device, and transmits the identification information to specified data storage device in the standby condition.
Abstract:
A reader controller is connected to a printer controller which controls a engine controller provided in a printer. The printer includes a controlling unit for controlling a document reader which reads documents, a receiving unit for receiving a command for the engine controller from the printer controller, and a counting unit for counting a number of documents processed by the reader controller in accordance with a control of the controlling unit, and counting a number of sheets processed by the printer controller in accordance with the command received by the receiving unit. The printer further includes a causing unit for causing a display of the reader to display the number counted by the counting unit.
Abstract:
It is determined whether an error detecting rate, when original information is extracted from a code image in a read image obtained by reading a sheet on which the code image is formed, is not smaller than a predetermined value. When it is not smaller than a predetermined value, a code image is reproduced from the extracted original information and the code image in the read image is replaced therewith. A barcode, which is a damaged code image, is reproduced.
Abstract:
An image processing apparatus reads an original to which a restriction item such as copy restriction is embed to input image data. The image processing apparatus restricts an image processing on the input image data which involves a loss of the embedded information on the restriction item to maintain a state where the restriction item is embedded for the output. Alternatively, the image processing apparatus outputs the image data of a format where the restriction information is added to the input electric data.
Abstract:
An image forming apparatus control unit interrupts print processing when it determines that a predetermined factor has occurred. When the print processing is restarted, the image forming apparatus control unit controls a printing unit to perform print processing on a specific number of sheets and then, after determining that a result of inspection for the specific number of sheets does not indicate a print failure, start print processing on sheets following the specific number of sheets.
