A work flow system for circulating a digital document file to plural clients through a network, including: a transmission client for initially issuing a document file for circulation, circulation clients for sequentially circulating the document file, transmitted by the transmission client. The transmission client includes: a setup processor for setting destination information to specify destination and order of circulation; and a transmission processor for sending a circulation information file, including the destination information, and the document file to the next circulation client, which is preset so in the destination information. Each of the circulation clients includes: a transmission processor for sending the circulation information file and the document file to the next circulation client, which is preset so in the destination information, in response to a verification of the document file.

Work flow system and client in work flow system

A print system for use through a network comprises a service system connected to the network and having a storage section in which a plurality of data are stored in a plurality of data storing locations; and a printer client system connected to the network and having a printer, wherein the printer client system accesses the service system through the network so as to obtain a data storing location of request data, downloads the request data from the obtained data storing location of the storage section, and conducts printing on the basis of the request data by the printer; and wherein the printer client system notifies the printing result to the service system.

An image forming apparatus includes: an image reading device for reading an image of a document to obtain image data; a data communication device connected with a computer for receiving an image data from the computer; a facsimile device connected with a telephone line for receiving an image data through the telephone line; an image memory for storing the image data obtained through the image reading device, the image data obtained through the data communication device, and the image data obtained through the facsimile device; an image memory controller for mediating an access to the image memory in a predetermined priority order for storing and reading the image data among the image reading device, the data communication device, and the facsimile device; and an image forming device for forming the image according to the image data controlled by the image memory controller.

Image forming apparatus

An image forming apparatus includes: a tray on which documents are stacked; a first document size detector for detecting a size of the documents stacked on the tray; a second document size detector for detecting a size of each of the documents conveyed from the tray; an automatic document feeding device having a document reading section for reading an image of each of the documents; an image forming section including a transfer material feeder for feeding transfer materials; and a controller for selecting and feeding transfer materials according to the detected document size. When the first document size detector detects that the size of the documents is identical to a regular size, the controller selects and feeds the transfer materials in accordance with the regular size, and when the first document size detector detects that the size of the documents is not identical to the regular size, the controller controls the second document size detector to detect the size of each of the documents conveyed from the tray, and selects and feeds transfer materials in accordance with the size detected by the second document size detector.

Image forming apparatus and image forming method

In an image forming apparatus provided with an image reader to read an image on an image surface of a document and to output image data corresponding to the image; an image processor to process the image data; an image forming device to successively form images on sheets on the basis of the processed image data; there are further provided a post processing device having a stapling stand on which the sheets are placed and a stapler to staple at a predetermined position on the stapling stand, wherein the predetermined position locates at only a single side of the sheet placed on the stapling stand; and a stapling position selector to select a stapling position on the image formed on the sheets, wherein the image processor processes the image data so that when the sheets are placed on the stapling stand, the stapling position on the image formed on the sheets selected by the stapling position selector coincides with the predetermined position on the stapling stand.

Image forming apparatus having stapling position controller

A facsimile machine for transmitting an image. The facsimile machine includes: an endless-belt shape writing member on which the image is to be written; a writing frame for exposing a portion of said writing member to outside of the facsimile machine; a conveyer for conveying the image holding member for at least a size of the writing frame at one time; an optical reader for reading the image on the image holding member at the writing frame portion in which the reading generates image signals corresponding the image; a transmitting circuit for transmitting the image signals to a transmission address; and a receiving circuit for receiving information signals from other facsimile machine.

Facsimile apparatus including a supporting frame member and image

A facsimile apparatus in a first station with an error correction mode retransmits signal again in response to a request from a section station. The facsimile apparatus includes a CPU to control a transmission speed of the signal transmission circuit so as to transmit operation control signals such as page information signals relating to a document and post message command signals indicating an operation that is to follow a present operation, at a first transmitting speed that corresponds to a transmission speed used to transmit image signals.
