摘要:
An image forming apparatus includes: a communications interface operative to receive a first image information item transmitted from terminal equipment connected thereto via a network; a storage section operative to store the first image information item therein; and an image reading section operative to obtain a second image information item by scanning an image of a document. The image forming apparatus further includes: a control section operative to compare the second image information item to the first image information item and then select the first image information item to be served for image forming if the second image information item is judged to be same as the first image information item, or the second image information item to be served for image forming if the second image information item is judged to be different from the first image information item.

A relay apparatus (relay unit) is provided between a PC, from which image data is transmitted, and an image recording apparatus (image recording unit). The relay apparatus executes a process for correcting a color on the image data transmitted from the PC to the image recording apparatus. In addition, a storage unit of the relay apparatus stores unique information of the image recording apparatus, such as a production number. The relay apparatus executes processes for correcting the image data and for adding the unique information to the image data transmitted from the PC, and then transmits the processed image data to the image recording apparatus. Thus, realized is an image recording system and the relay apparatus, in which it is not necessary to provide a circuit which executes a process for embedding unique information in the image data in the image recording apparatus, so that deterioration in quality of the image caused by the unique information can be prevented as much as possible.

摘要:
When trial printing is executed in a repeat printing mode, trial printing is performed in size of an image of one piece in a layout in which a plurality of images are supposed to be printed in the repeat printing mode normally. A user who has checked a finished state of the trial printing sets, when the finished state is in a desired state, the recording paper on which the trial printing is performed to the paper feed portion again and executes the repeat printing. Thereby, in a blank space excluding a print image which is printed with a first time trial printing, a scheduled quantity of a plurality of images are repeatedly printed.
摘要:
In a nonvolatile memory apparatus, a system bus receives address, command, and/or control signals. Memory cells store bits of data by shifting a threshold voltage to one of plural ranges. In writing a first page, the threshold voltage of a first memory cell remains in a first range or shifts into a second range. In writing a second page, the threshold voltage remains in the first or second voltages, or shifts into a third range from the first range or into a fourth range from the second range. Before writing the second page, the memory reads data from the first memory cell for generating the second page writing data. A shifting direction of the threshold voltage from the first to the second range is the same as a shifting direction from the first to the third range.
