A mark detection apparatus includes a reading unit, a converter, and a determination part. The reading unit reads an image on a document. The converter compares respective portions of the image read by the reading unit with a plurality of preset reference patterns, and converts a portion of the image to a character associated with a corresponding reference pattern. The determination part determines that the portion of the image to have been compared on the document is a mark in a case in which the character converted by the converter is a preset first reference character, and that the portion of the image to have been compared on the document is not a mark in a case in which the character converted by the converter is not a preset first reference character.

Mark detection apparatus and method for detecting mark

If a designation detector detects one of icons representing peripheral equipment (image forming apparatuses) displayed on a monitor screen by a display controller in response to operator's manipulation, an operation information acquirer acquires, from the respective peripheral equipment, operation information indicating a job status of the respective peripheral equipment represented by all the icons displayed on the monitor screen. If it is judged that the peripheral equipment represented by the icon whose designation has been detected by the designation detector is in a state of processing a job, the display controller changes the display format of the icon representing a peripheral equipment in an idling state.

Information processing equipment, image display program product, and image forming system

A reduced image generation portion generates a reduced image indicating the content of a file stored in a storage device. When a judgment portion judges that text data, which is the file in text format, is attached to the file, a display image generation portion generates a display image indicating the attachment of the text data to the file. A display control portion then displays the images generated by the reduced image generation portion and the display image generation portion on a display as one thumbnail image. Meanwhile, when the text data is not attached to the file, the display control portion displays the reduced image generated by the reduced image generation portion as the thumbnail image.

Signal bearing medium bearing image display program and image display apparatus

To enable a user to grasp the detailed contents of respective files constituting a file group by allowing the user to view index images representing the file group along with file information, a data reader judges the file to which the on-screen index image belongs, and the page number of the page represented by the index image in the file, and displays file information relating to the judged file and the judged page number when the index image is displayed by an image display controller.

Image displaying program product and an image displaying apparatus

An image forming apparatus is connected via a network with at least one computer having a storage section capable of creating at least one folder. The apparatus has a data acquiring section to acquire document data and a location information acquiring section to acquire location information from each computer through the network. An administering section registers the at least one folder identified by the location information as at least one folder capable of storing the document data. A display unit displays an image and a folder display controlling section controls the display unit to display an image of registered folders. An input operation unit accepts input operation by a user and a folder designation accepting section allows the user to designate a desired folder on the display unit for acceptance with use of the input operation unit. A data transmitting section transmits the document data to the designated folder.

Image forming apparatus and document administration system

To enable a necessary image data to be easily found out based on image sizes of a plurality of index images displayed in a list format and to enable contents of original images displayed as index images to be easily understood, in the case of generating an index image of an image data having an original image size larger than a standard size, a rate of reduction to the original image is increased so that the entire index image is accommodated in an index image display area while maintaining a relative dimensional relationship with index image sizes of image data having other original image sizes.

Image displaying apparatus and program product for displaying image

An image processing apparatus controlling system, control method and control program product for transferring to an image processing apparatus, document file or image data file in the form of electrical data, along with data of selected function of the image processing apparatus, and for making the image processing apparatus execute printing operation in accordance with received data. A monitor screen of a terminal device such as a personal computer displays a printer iconEX composed of a plurality of partsA,B, . . . representative of the functions of the image processing apparatus to be selected. The monitor screen also displays file icons, . . . along with the printer icon. A file icon representing an image processing apparatus to be used, is drugged and moved to any part of the printer iconEX and dropped there. Data of the function of the image processing apparatus represented by the part where the file icon is dropped, is transferred to the image processing apparatus along with the image data included in the selected file icon.

Control system and control method for image processing apparatus

The present invention relates to a system for making discriminations between cartridges for housing toners to be equipped on image forming apparatus such as electrostatic copiers, laser beam printers, facsimiles, etc. in which while a cartridge indicating means is provided on a part of a toner housing cartridge, an indication detecting means for detecting the aforementioned cartridge indicating means is provided on the image forming apparatus proper side, so that the suitability of the type or position of the cartridge inserted is detected by detecting the cartridge indicating means by the aforementioned detecting means, when the cartridge has been inserted into the cartridge inserting part of the image forming apparatus proper.
