To accomplish this, in an image processing system including a PC () and device () connected to a network, the PC () has a transfer unit () which transfers identification data of the PC () to the device (), and the device () has a scanner unit () which scans an image and outputs the image data, a memory () which stores a destination of the output image data from the scanner unit (), a transfer unit () which transfers the image data to the destination stored in the memory (), and a registration unit () which receives the identification data transferred by the transfer unit (), and registers the received identification data as a destination of image data in the memory ().

Image processing system including image processing device and information processing device which communicate with each other

This invention prevents repetitive storage of identical character string data, and efficiently uses a storage area. To accomplish this, a facsimile apparatushas an NICas a network interface, and also has a display unitas a display means for displaying an image as a user interface, a main body controllerincluding a memory as a storage means for storing character string data, a display controlleras an image generating means for generating an image to be displayed on the display means, by using the character string data stored in the memory, and an HTTP server as a display data generating means for generating an HTML file as display data described in a markup language by using the character string data stored in the memory, in accordance with a browsing request input via the network interface.

Image processing apparatus and control method for reducing an amount of data for a plurality of languages

System, device, method, and computer-readable storage medium for registering information processing device identification data with an image processing device

The printing apparatus includes a receiving unit which receives a print instruction about code information generated based on a file to be printed. The printing apparatus includes a transferring unit which transfers the file to be printed to a predetermined storage device when a size of the code information exceeds a threshold. The printing apparatus includes a printing unit which prints path information indicating a storage location of the transferred file to be printed as a list.

Printing apparatus and printing system that provides for a printing product that includes a base file and an attached file

An image processing apparatus has a large number of image processing functions, in which resources necessary for code processing units can be suppressed while a large-scale decline in performance is prevented. The apparatus includes code processing units for executing coding and decoding of image data, and request-source task units (print function, scanner function and FAX transceive function), which request any one of the code converters to perform code conversion of image data. The number of request-source task units is greater than the number of code converters and a degree of priority has been set for each one. A determination unit always assigns the code converting units to processing requests from request-source task units having a high priority and, if there is an idle code converting unit, assigns the code converting unit to a processing request from a request-source task unit having a low priority.

Providing a plurality of processing units for an image forming apparatus

This invention facilitates an operation required to restore a desired file from code information. To accomplish this, a printing apparatus prints code information generated by encoding a file on a first sheet set, and prints identification information required to identify the sheet on which the code information corresponding to the file is printed. A restoration apparatus scans the first and second sheet sets. The restoration apparatus specifies, based on the identification information on the second sheet set, a sheet on which code information corresponding to a desired file is printed. Furthermore, the restoration apparatus restores the desired file by decoding the code information printed on the specified sheet.

Code information printing apparatus, printing method, restoration apparatus, and restoration method

A print instruction apparatus includes a selecting unit which selects an attached file to be printed on a sheet together with a base file designated in advance as a print target. The print instructing apparatus includes a generating unit which generates code information for the selected attached file, and a transmitting unit which transmits a print instruction of the base file and the code information of the attached file to the printing apparatus.

Information processing apparatus with code generation and transfer to file to be printed

An apparatus, method, and program accesses a USB memory in accordance with a request from a PC on a network using a USB host interface, a USB device interface, a network interface, a network manager which inputs, via the network interface, a file access command which requests access to a memory card connected to the USB host interface, a memory manager which inputs the file access command generated inside an apparatus, a file access controller which performs exclusive access control between the file access commands input by the network and memory managers, a SCSI analyzer which converts the file access command selected by the file access controller into a SCSI command, and a memory card access controller which performs exclusive access control between the SCSI command generated by the conversion, and a SCSI command input via the USB device interface and requests access to the memory card.

Image processing apparatus and control method of the same

A facsimile apparatus has a line interface for facsimile communication and is capable of communicating with a host computer through a remote host computer interface or a local host computer interface. The facsimile apparatus includes a facsimile data transferring unit for transferring facsimile data to the host computer through the remote host computer interface or the local host computer interface; an interface recognizing unit for recognizing the host computer interface that is connected from among the remote host computer interface and the local host computer interface; a transfer destination registering unit for registering a destination of the host computer to which the facsimile data transferring unit transfers the facsimile data through the remote host computer interface when the interface recognizing unit recognizes that the remote host computer interface is connected.

Facsimile apparatus, control method thereof, and control program thereof

There is provided a user-friendly multiple function peripheral apparatus which eliminates a wasteful data process in the apparatus even when a color scan start key is pressed. This invention provides a multiple function peripheral apparatus including a scanner unit having monochrome and color scanner functions, a facsimile transmission unit having only a monochrome facsimile transmission function, a color scan start key which instructs the scanner unit to execute color scan, a monochrome scan start key which instructs the scanner unit to execute monochrome scan, and a facsimile transmission control unit which controls operation of the facsimile transmission unit on the basis of a condition of correspondence set in advance between the color scan start key and the monochrome facsimile function when facsimile transmission is instructed with the color scan start key.

Multiple function peripheral apparatus

Disclosed is an image processing apparatus which prevents repetitive storage of identical image data, and efficiently uses a storage area. More specifically, a facsimile apparatus () has a network interface, and also has a display unit () as a display means for displaying an image as a user interface, a main controller () including a memory as a storage means for storing image data, a display controller () as a generating means for generating an image to be displayed on the display means, by using the image data stored in the memory, and an HTTP server as a transmitting means for transmitting the image data stored in the memory, in response to a browsing request input via the network interface.
