A washing machine is disclosed. A washing machine according to one embodiment of the present invention comprises: a door for opening and closing a laundry inlet; a magnetic body included in the door; a processor; and a door lock switch module including a door lock key which moves in accordance with the opening and closing of the door so as to lock or unlock the door, a first switch electrically connected on the basis of movement of the door lock key to a locked position, and a second switch connected in series with the first switch and electrically connected in response to an approach of the magnetic body, wherein the processor receives a signal generated by connecting the first switch and the second switch, detects the locking of the door, and proceeds to perform the washing cycle process of the washing machine. Other embodiments are possible.

Washing machine and method for controlling washing machine

Provided is a washing machine including a main body having a first inlet, a drum arranged inside the main body to accommodate laundry, and a door configured to open and close the first inlet, wherein the door includes a second inlet to allow laundry to be introduced into the drum while the first inlet closed, an auxiliary door configured to open and close the second inlet, and a restraining device configured to restrain the auxiliary door such that the auxiliary door remains locked onto the door, and the main body includes a pressing device arranged inside the main body and configured to press the restraining device such that the restraining device locks the auxiliary door and to release from the retraining device such that the restraining device unlocks the auxiliary door.

Washing machine

A washing machine in which a first main heater is not driven while wash water stored in a first tub and wash water stored in a second tub are simultaneously heated, and a method of controlling the same. A washing machine includes: a first tub configured to store wash water; a first main heater configured to heat wash water stored in the first tub; a first sub heater configured to heat wash water stored in the first tub; a second tub configured to store wash water; and a second heater configured to heat wash water stored in the second tub, wherein a power consumption required to drive the first main heater is greater than a power consumption required to drive the first sub heater, and the first main heater is not driven while wash water stored in the first tube and wash water stored in the second tub are simultaneously heated.

Washing machine and method of controlling the same

A washing machine and a method for controlling the same are disclosed. The washing machine includes a plurality of washing devices, each of which includes a heater. Based on a target temperature of wash water heated by one heater of any one of the washing devices, the washing machine changes a target temperature setting environment of wash water heated by the remaining heater. The washing machine includes a first heater to heat wash water stored in a first tub, a second heater to heat wash water stored in a second tub, a control panel to provide a target temperature setting menu for setting a target temperature of the wash water stored in the first tub, and a controller to drive the first heater and the second heater. The controller changes the target temperature setting menu supplied from the control panel in response to the second target temperature.

Washing machine capable of controlling control panel related to operation of heaters

In a washing machine having a door locking device that allows a door to keep an opening closed, the door locking device includes a latch configured to move in a first direction to restrict the door and move in a second direction, which is opposite the first direction, to release the restriction on the door and a locker configured to limit movement of the latch in the second direction. By such a configuration, the door can be opened/closed, restricted, and opened using a single device.

Door locking device and washing machine having the same

An image forming device includes a communication unit to transmit data to and receive data from an external device, an image forming job unit to perform printing, and a controller to control warming up of the image forming job unit to perform the printing, such that the image forming job unit performs the printing after the warming up is completed. The controller is to receive a print execution request to perform the printing and a predicted value of a print preparation time for the image forming device to create output image data, to perform the printing, from the external device via the communication unit, determine a warm-up start time of when to start the warming up of the image forming job unit by using the received predicted value of the print preparation time, and control the image forming job unit to start the warming up at the determined warm-up start time.

Image forming device to determine warm-up time

A computing device supports pull printing by using a mobile terminal. The computing device may include a user interface unit configured to receive an input selecting a print job and a printing method; a communication unit configured to transmit or receive data; a mobile search management unit configured to search for an available mobile terminal if pull printing by using a mobile terminal is selected as the printing method; a printer driver configured to render print data corresponding to the selected print job into a printable format file; a data transmission management unit configured to transmit the rendered print data to a found mobile terminal by using the communication unit; and a controller.

A printing control apparatus includes a user interface configured to receive a selection of a printing option to be applied to a document, and to display, in response to a favorite printing option being the selection of the printing option, information about a method for a preselected printing option, a printer driver configured to establish the printing option to be applied to the document according to the information about the method, and to generate printing data according to the printing option, and a communication interface configured to transmit the printing data to an image forming apparatus.

Printing control method, and apparatus and computer-readable recording medium thereof

A printing control apparatus includes a display unit to display a preview screen of a document to print, a control unit to extract objects included in the document displayed on the preview screen and individually set a printing option corresponding to an object selected by a user from among the extracted objects, and a printing data generation unit to generate printing data corresponding to the set printing option and to spool the printing data.

Associating print settings to individual print objects in a print preview

A common driver application device and method. A first communication unit provides a communication interface with a first printing apparatus, a common printer driver unit loads from the first printing apparatus print information including default values for print options and an emulation type that the first printing apparatus supports, and provides a print option setting menu enabling a user to adjust the default values for the print options, if the first communication unit is communicatively connected to the first printing apparatus, and a central processing unit controls the common printer driver unit to load the print information from the first printing apparatus, if the first communication unit is connected to the first printing apparatus. Thus, one common printer driver to drive plural printers connected to a computer can be provided.

Common driver application device and method

A method of setting print options of an image forming apparatus using a driver user interface in a terminal, such as a PC, connected to the image forming apparatus. The apparatus may include a user input unit to receive the print options, a name generating unit to automatically-generate setting names using the input print options a storage unit to store the input print options to correspond to the automatically-generated setting names, and a control unit to control the storage of the input print options and the generated setting names in the storage unit.
