    摘要: An image forming apparatus includes a print device, a first backend communication portion, a second backend communication portion, and an inquiry management portion. The inquiry management portion transmits, when determining that transmission of a permission response is possible, the permission response to a digital frontend via the first backend communication portion. The second backend communication portion receives print data from the digital frontend. The print device executes print processing that is based on the print data when the print data is received from the digital frontend by the second backend communication portion.

    摘要: An image forming apparatus includes a light-emitting chip, a substrate on which a plurality of light emitting chips are mounted, a controller, and a switch. The light-emitting chip includes a light-emitting portion, which emits light exposing a photosensitive drum surface based on supply of a driving current to the light-emitting portion, and a driving portion that drives the light-emitting portion. The controller controls the driving portion by transmitting a signal to the light-emitting chip and outputs a digital signal corresponding to a target amount of light of the light-emitting portion to the light-emitting chip. Based on a control signal from the controller, the switch switches a connection state between the voltage source and the D/A converter to a first state where the voltage source supplies the reference voltage to the D/A converter, and a second state where an electrical connection between the voltage source and the D/A converter is disconnected.

    摘要: An image processing apparatus that performs image processing of document data including link destination information converted to a code data image. The document data is displayed, and in a case where the code data image is detected from the document data, link destination information is extracted from the detected code data image. Whether or not to set each of the document data and information indicated by the link destination information as an object to be printed is selected by a user. When a print instruction is received from a user, the document data is printed in a case where the document data has been selected as the object to be printed, and the information indicated by the link destination information is printed in a case where the information indicated by the link destination information has been selected as the object to be printed.

    摘要: Provided is a technique for controlling shift of an operation mode from a normal mode to a sleep mode. A printer according to one embodiment includes a print head, a cutter, a detection unit, and a mode control unit. The print head prints an image based on print data on a recording medium. The cutter cuts the recording medium based on a cut command. The detection unit detects that a duration time of an idle state in a first mode exceeds a predetermined time. The mode control unit changes, in response to the detection unit detecting that the duration time of the idle state exceeds the predetermined time, control of shifting an operation mode from the first mode to a second mode in which consumed power is lower than that of the first mode, in accordance with an event related to shift to the idle state.
