An image input and output system is provided in which a common operation screen for a plurality of image output devices having different attributes is displayed. Based on attribute information of each of printers, the server generates a signal for generating an operation screen, and transmits the signal to the scanner. At the scanner, image data is inputted, and a common operation screen, which is generated based on the signal for generating the operation screen, is displayed on a display panel. When information designating the printer and information relating to an output format of an image is inputted from the display panel, the inputted information and the image data are transmitted to the server. The server transmits, to a designated printer, the image data and the information relating to the output format of the image, which are transmitted from the scanner, and images are outputted.

Image input and output system, method and recording medium

The present invention provides an electronic document management device including a reading unit that reads out an original electronic document formed by combining document data indicating a main document and management data for managing the electronic document as a printed object from a section where the document is registered, a processing unit that processes the management data of the read original electronic document to form an electronic document to be printed, and a print instruction unit that causes an image formation device to print the electronic document to be printed.

Device and method for managing electronic documents, storage medium for storing electronic document management program, and image formation device

The present invention provides increased processing reliability for a service of performing predetermined processes on document data through cooperation among the processes over a network A service processing device in a service processing system providing a service of performing predetermined processes on document data through cooperation among the processes over a network comprises a controller that controls reexecution of a process in which an error occurs, if the error occurs on the document data in the course of the processes.

Service processing system, service processing method and service processing device

Image input and output system, method and recording medium having a common initiation portion

The present invention provides increased processing efficiency for service of performing predetermined processes on document data through cooperation among the processes over a network. If an error exists during document input in an input plug-in element before a start of rule-based processing, when documents are captured from the input plug-in element, contents of the error are stored in an error history memory, and documents normally inputted are subjected to processing of processing plug-in and output plug-in elements according to the rule. Also when an error occurs during the rule-based processing, the contents of the error are stored in the error history memory, and the rule-based processing is continued for normal documents. Error histories are referred to, and if an error exists, the error contents are reported on the basis of the error histories.

Service processing system and method

A color marking apparatus for marking designated areas of an original with a designated color by recording the whole area of an original with a first color, such as black. Desired areas on the original are designated, and the designated areas are colored with a second color different from the first color, and the second color is recorded with a copy density different from the copy density used to record the first color. The color marking apparatus is controlled such that the recording operations of the apparatus are carried out in a selected order.

Color marking apparatus for a recording apparatus

A recording apparatus for recording image data, the recording apparatus permitting a user to readily select and alter recording functions and add various other functions using portable storage means such as an IC card and reading means for reading control data from the storage means.

A paper tray control system includes a recording apparatus for recording image data on a paper, to which additional devices are attachable; a paper tray installed in the recording apparatus as the additional devices for stocking the paper on which the image data has been recorded; and main controller for controlling the recording apparatus and for generating an instruction. The paper tray control system is further provided with a tray control separated from the main controller for controlling the paper tray; and a communication line connected between the main controller and the tray controller, wherein the tray controller receives the instruction from the main controller through the communication line to control the paper tray according to the instruction.

Paper tray control system

An electronic copier is provided with a control section having a test mode whereby the inputs from various detectors positioned at various locations in the copier can be tested, and the results may be displayed on a display device normally used for displaying the number of copies to be made, etc.

Input signal testing device for electronic copier

A checking apparatus for a copier includes check drive circuits having functions indentical to that of load driving circuits normally operated by a controller. The load driving circuits are bypassed in the check mode so that the loads are selectively operated by the check drive circuits, to test the output of a microprocessor or like device serving as a controller.

Output check apparatus for electrophotographic copier

A method and an apparatus for detecting the internal cavities in a continuous casting bar in which two opposite surfaces of a casting bar delivered from a continuous casting machine are held between a pair of rollers each having a hollow portion and are pressurized at a predetermined pressure thereby, and an amount of transmission of an ultrasonic wave having a predetermined frequency passing through the casting bar is detected by means of an ultrasonic wave device for transmission and an ultrasonic wave device for reception which are provided respectively in the hollow portions of the rollers to allow the ultrasonic wave to pass through the casting bar running through the rollers, thereby to detect the internal cavities in the casting bar.
