A mobile device includes a first processor, a second processor having a smaller power consumption than the first processor, and a first battery capable of supplying power to the first processor and the second processor, in which a distance between the first processor and an attachable/detachable second battery that is capable of being attached and detached and that is capable of configured to supplying power to the first processor and the second processor is longer than a distance between the second processor and the second battery.

Mobile device with battery

A liquid ejecting apparatus includes a scanner unit, a scanner drive section that drives the scanner unit, a head unit that is provided with an ejection section, a drive signal generation section that generates a drive signal driving the ejection section, a casing in which the head unit is disposed, a temperature information output section that outputs temperature information indicating a value corresponding to a temperature in the casing, and a stop control section that decides a time length of the stop period in which generation of the drive signal is stopped based on the temperature information, in which the time length is longer when the scanner unit is driven than when the scanner unit is not driven.

An image scanner might capture an image corresponding to scan regionwhich might be somewhat larger than original. Image processing circuitry might then enlarge an image corresponding to scan region(arrow), converting it into enlarged image. Within enlarged image, the image of originalmight have been enlarged so as to become image, which might be somewhat larger than printing paper. This enlarged original imagewhich would be present within enlarged imagemight then be printed by a printer. Four-sided borderless copying is possible.

Image processing apparatus and method for borderless printing

When using image scanners to capture images of originals and using printers to print same, four-sided borderless copying is enabled such that margins do not appear on printouts. An image scanner might capture an image corresponding to scan regionwhich might be somewhat larger than original. Image processing circuitry might then enlarge an image corresponding to scan region(arrow), converting it into enlarged image. Within enlarged image, the image of originalmight have been enlarged so as to become image, which might be somewhat larger than printing paper. This enlarged original imagewhich would be present within enlarged imagemight then be printed by a printer.

Hybrid printer and scan image copying method

Image processing apparatus and method

An object of the present invention is to provide a command data conversion device and printing apparatus that can correctly interpret print command data even where the codes or the parameter codes assigned to the commands in the print command data change, or where the data output sequence changes. Using the present invention, print command data including commands used in print control as well as associated data are received, and the contents thereof are interpreted. Multiple commands are rewritably stored in command registers in advance, and if a command included in the print command data matches any of the stored multiple commands, prescribed processing is carried out to at least one of either the command or its associated data.

Command interpretation using rewritable command registers

It is an object of the present invention, when using image scanner(s) to capture image(s) of original(s) and using printer(s) to print same, to enable four-sided borderless copying such that margin(s) do not appear on printout(s). An image scanner might capture an image corresponding to scan regionwhich might be somewhat larger than original. Image processing circuitry might then enlarge an image corresponding to scan region(arrow), converting it into enlarged image. Within enlarged image, the image of originalmight have been enlarged so as to become image, which might be somewhat larger than printing paper. This enlarged original imagewhich would be present within enlarged imagemight then be printed by a printer.

The image output apparatus of the invention includes a main unit group of multiple main units connected in series to perform preset series of image processing and a pass unit group of multiple pass units connected in series to be parallel with the multiple main units. The averaged data of the tone values of four pixels generated by a black/white edge processing unit are sequentially transferred through the main unit group. The standard edge data and the noise data generated by a color conversion unit are sequentially transferred through the pass unit group, synchronously with the transfer of the averaged data through the main unit group. The data transferred through the pass unit group enters an inner-block smoothing unit to go through the smoothing process. The image output apparatus of the invention has the hardware configuration that allows flexible design change according to the required series of image processing.

Image output apparatus

A recording apparatus, and so forth, capable of outputting at high speed is provided. Second recording data that are stored in a memory based on data obtained by a data obtaining section are transferred to a data generator via a second transfer path, and based on the second recording data that have been transferred, the data generator generates first recording data for performing recording on a medium.
