When an address is inputted through input means for inputting an address of a receiving end, an image transmission apparatus carries out an authentication process that determines whether or not the inputting person is a right authorized person. When it is determined that the corresponding operation is right through the authentication process, the image transmission apparatus transmits image data to the address of the receiving end thus inputted.

Image transmission apparatus

An image processing device includes a plurality of printers (Pr, Pr, Pr, Pr, . . . ) and a plurality of client machines (PC, PC, PC, PC, PC, . . . ). When requesting an image data processing to a printer other than the printer to which an image data processing has been requested firstly, the client machine checks the security level of the other printer to which the image data processing is to be requested before requesting the image data distribution processing to the other printer. When selecting another printer to which the image data distribution processing is to be requested, the security level in each printer is sufficiently considered.

Image processing device and image processing system

It is an object to provide an image processing system, an information processing apparatus and a computer program, capable of utilizing a data protection function possessed by the image processing apparatus. The information processing apparatus connected to a communication network together with one or more image processing apparatuses acquires from each of the image processing apparatuses a protection function information which indicates whether or not an image processing apparatus has a data protection function for protecting data by encrypting or the like, and intensity information representing an intensity of data protection of the data protection function. The information processing apparatus outputs a list of the image processing apparatuses together with a key mark and security level representing the intensity of data protection in numeral about each image processing apparatus having the data protection function so as to accept selection of the image processing apparatus by which an image is processed.

Image processing system, information processing device, and computer program

When an instruction to execute an image processing from a user is accepted through an operation panel, a control section temporarily stores image data read from an original or externally received image data in an HDD, and then, outputs processing information related to the image processing based on the accepted execution instruction and the image data stored in the HDD from a communication section to a server apparatus as historical data. When an obtaining completion signal representative of the completion of obtaining of the historical data is obtained from the server apparatus through the communication section, the control section performs the image processing on the image data stored in the HDD according to the accepted execution instruction. Then, the control section erases the image data subjected to the processing from the HDD.

Image processing apparatus and image processing system

When an image processing apparatus receives an execution instruction for image processing, it performs management of information related to image processing and image data that is subjected to image processing, as historical data. When the execution instruction for the image processing is received from a user, the image processing apparatus stores image data read from a document or image data received from outside, and then stores process information related to the image processing based on the received execution instruction and the stored image data, as historical data. The image processing apparatus then performs image processing of the image data that is stored in accordance with the received execution instruction.

Image processing apparatus

In a data processing apparatus which performs an output process and a protection process on data stored in a data storage section, and executes user verification when verification data to be used in verification at a time of accepting setting about the protection process is stored in a verification data storage section, execution of a data protection process is permitted or inhibited according to whether the verification data is stored in the verification data storage section or not. As the protection process is executed when user verification is carried out, the security on data protection is kept at a high level.

Data processing apparatus

A copy apparatus has two exposure modes. In the first mode, the original is fixed and reading is done by a scanning exposure device and in the second mode the exposure device is fixed and the original is moved for reading. The second mode fixed position for the exposure device is the start position for the exposure device in the first mode. In the first mode when reading the originals is performed only once, the exposure device returns immediately to the start position. Alternatively, when reading is plural and continuous, successive scanning is started from the scanning end position which is regarded as the turning position for continuous copying.

Copying apparatus

A circulating type of automatic document feeding apparatus comprising a document hopper which is adapted to take out the top document from the hopper or take it out from the bottom to return in onto the topmost side, a first carrying means for carrying the document form the document hopper to a first exposure portion, a document presentation portion having the first exposure portion and the second exposure portion, a second carrying means which is equipped with an inside and outside inverting means for inverting the carrying direction of the document between the first exposure portion and the second exposure portion, and a third carrying means for returning the document to the document hopper from the second exposure portion. One face of the duplex document may be exposed in the first exposure portion to continuously expose the other face thereof in the second exposure portion, so that the copying operation of the duplex document may be effected at higher speeds and furthermore with considerably reduced operations on the part of the operator.

Circulating type of automatic document feeding apparatus and duplex

An optical document reading apparatus for scanning a document operates by driving an optical system and for reading the document being transported while the optical system is held still at a predetermined reading position. In the device herein a scan start position from which the optical system is moved is defined at the initial reading position.

Optical text reading apparatus

With a variable magnification copier of this invention, not only magnification but a reference position in the direction of scan is specified such that the image formed on a copy paper sheet is not automatically enlarged with respect to the front edge of the original document to be copied. The difference between the time to start a scan and the time to feed copy paper is controlled such that the enlarged image will not stick out of the paper.

Variable magnification copier

The duplex copying machine according to the present invention is arranged to copy both faces of an original document onto both faces of copy papers in such manner that the front and the reverse surfaces of the original document are copied correspondingly onto those of the copy papers, without inconsistency of the copied surfaces, even when paper jamming is given rise to in the course of the operation under the verso copying mode. Further, the duplex copying machine according to the present invention has such function as to positively classify the copy papers subsequent to the jammed paper into respective proper bins.
