To provide a control unit including a touch panel display capable of presenting preview display of multiple pages of document images on the display panel, the touch panel display includes: a binding position indicating controller; a binding process preview displaying controller that displays preview images of recording paper bound at the specified position; a paper binding position-linked scrolling display switching controller that, when the binding position in the printed paper is modified, switches the direction of scrolling preview display so as to be suited to the recording paper bound at the modified binding position.

Image display control device and image forming apparatus including the same

An image processing device comprises an image data input means, an image data storage meansfor storing the image data being input, an image data processing meanshaving multiple processing modes for outputting the stored image data, and a image data erasing means for erasing the image data stored in the storage means. The device further comprises erase count control meansfor controlling the number of times for erasing image data capable of having the number of times of erase set arbitrarily according to the security level required for each mode, and capable of having the set number of times of erase changed in mid-flow. Confidentiality is protected by performing erase operations repeatedly to the region storing the unnecessary image data according to the security level.

Image processing device

According to one embodiment of the present invention, a printing apparatus including a printing unit for executing a print job and performing a printing process on recording paper, and a control unit for controlling the printing unit, the printing apparatus causing the printing unit to execute a plurality of print jobs sequentially, wherein the printing apparatus further includes a recording paper detection unit for detecting a size of recording paper fed to the printing unit, and when a size of recording paper detected by the recording paper detection unit is different from a size of recording paper set by a print job that is being executed by the printing means, the control unit performs control such that a period of time until the recording paper is discharged is shortened to the minimum.

Printing apparatus and method for controlling the same

The subject invention offers data deletion operation with respect to the area storing image data for security purpose, and also offers a function for suspending the deletion operation by a specific condition so as to accept a request of processing new image data. The image processing device includes image data inputting means for inputting image data; image data storing means for storing the image data inputted by the image data inputting means; image data processing (outputting) means for processing (outputting) the image data stored in the image data storing means; image data invalidating (deleting) means for performing invalidation (deletion) of the image data stored in the image data storing means; directing means for directing cutoff of the invalidation performed by the image data invalidating means; and permitting means for permitting the cutoff of the invalidation directed by the directing means.
