An information processing method includes a storing step of storing a correspondence between destination names and e-mail addresses in a storage unit; a setting step of setting a destination name to which a document is to be transmitted; and an upload step of uploading the document to a document management server for a network printing in accordance with an e-mail address corresponding to the set destination name, a document being uploaded to the document management server and then being output in response to an output request from an owner of the e-mail address in the network printing. The uploaded document can be downloaded from the document management server to a printer through a communication medium and can be printed.

Information processing device, information processing method, and control program

A printing apparatus includes a receiving unit for receiving a print request from an information device, a transmitting unit for, upon receiving the print request, transmitting address information of a server and identification information of the printing apparatus to the information device, and a printing unit for carrying out printing based on print data received from the information device via the server.

Printing apparatus that allows an information device to transmit a print instruction to a public printer via a server even when the information device does not know the access address of the server in advance

A recycling system for managing reusable units to be used in an image-forming apparatus (e.g., MFP device including units, the system comprising inputting kind information of the units), storing use information corresponding to the image-forming apparatus, and determining a reuse level of a reusable unit to be provided based on the kind information and the use information.

Recycling system and method of managing reusable components

An output apparatus includes a memory for storing output environment setting information for setting information designating an output environment, from among plural possible output environments, a registration unit for registering the output environment setting information in the memory, a read-out unit for reading out desired output environment setting information from the memory and an output environment setting unit for setting an output environment on the basis of the output environment setting information read out by the read-out unit.

Output apparatus for setting the output environment

An image-forming apparatus for forming an image on a sheet-like material, having an image-forming unit for forming a toner image on the sheet-like material, and a heated roller for heating the sheet-like material with the toner image. The heated roller includes a surface layer having a heat-shrunk fluorine resin. A pressure roller is arranged in rolling contact with the heated roller, for pressing the sheet-like material against the heated roller. A member for providing at least one of the following conditions: a) temperature at the surface of the heated roller of at least 200.degree. C.; b) a pressure between the heated roller and the pressure roller of at least about 72.5 N; c) a hardness of the surface of the pressure roller of at least about 40.degree. (ASKER-C system); and d) an elastic surface layer on the pressure roller having a thickness of at most about 50 .mu.m and which comprises a fluorine resin.

Image-forming apparatus with a fixing device for fixing a toner image on

An image processing apparatus capable of effectively utilizing the capacity of an expansion memory, connected to the apparatus, without manual allocation of the memory capacity by the operator. The apparatus detects the connection of the external memory and its capacity, and automatically allocates the capacity to plural uses in a predetermined ratio or a predetermined amount.

This invention deals with a simple and efficient method for producing vitronectin from biological materials which include vitronectin. More specifically, this invention deals with a method for producing vitronectin by binding vitronectin in biological materials to immobilized glycosaminoglycans in the presence of protein denaturing agent, especially urea.

Method for producing vitronectin

An image-forming apparatus that has a photosensitive drum. The drum is charged by a main charger to a surface potential Vo. A light beam bearing image information is applied after the transfer of the developed image and before the next image forming operation to facilitate cleaning thereof.
