An image processing apparatus includes an image reading portion or an image forming portion, a detection processing portion, and an operation restricting portion. The image reading portion reads an image from a document sheet. The image forming portion forms an image on a sheet. The detection processing portion detects whether or not a speaker that is provided outside the image processing apparatus is in an output state. The operation restricting portion restricts an operation of the image processing apparatus when the detection processing portion detects that the speaker is in the output state.

Image processing apparatus capable of restricting operation, operation control method

An image processing apparatus includes a data input unit, an operation panel, a storage unit, and a control unit. The operation panel accepts a registration of a margin image and a setting of an emphasis region within the margin image. The storage unit stores data for emphasis including a registered margin image and positional data. The registered margin image is the margin image that has been registered, and the positional data indicates a position of the emphasis region in the registered margin image. When the control unit determines that the registered margin image is included in the page image data, the control unit performs an emphasis process on an image of a corresponding region whose position at the registered margin image included in the page image data is identical to a position of the emphasis region in the registered margin image included in the stored data for emphasis.

Image processing apparatus that emphasizes important information added to margin region and image forming apparatus including the same

A communication device includes: a first communication section, a second communication section, a storage section, a determination section, and a control section. The first communication section communicates with a storage device based on predefined interface communication standards to perform data transfer. The second communication section communicates with an external device in a method other than the interface communication standards to perform data transmission. The storage section stores the selected error code that is previously defined to cause a bit error by noise. The determination section determines whether or not an error code indicated by the error information agrees with the selected error code. The control section, upon determination by the determination section that the error codes agrees with each other, gives the first communication section and the second communication section instructions for cancelling the data transfer and performing data re-transfer.

Communication device and communication method

An image processing device includes an acquisition unit and an image processing unit. The image processing unit makes a similarity determination for each of pages following a first page, thereby searches for a similar header image resembling a reference header image and a similar footer image resembling a reference footer image, and deletes, from image data of the pages following the first page, image data of a page where a similar footer image exists and a region other than a region where the similar footer image exists is blank.

An information processing apparatus according to one aspect of the present disclosure includes an input/output control portion and a restart control portion. The input/output control portion is configured to be able to have a plurality of electronic devices connected thereto, and is configured to control input/output between each electronic device and the information processing apparatus. The restart control portion is configured to switch whether to restart the input/output control portion in a case where an abnormality defined in advance has occurred with respect to an electronic device, in accordance with the number of the electronic devices connected to the input/output control portion.

Information processing apparatus, and method for restarting input/output control portion

For a duplex print job a display portion of the image forming apparatus shows a stack image of one or more papers. A top paper in the image appears to have a corner turned over revealing a portion of the back side of the top paper, and revealing a portion of a front side of a second paper in the stack. Within the stack image, the image portion of the front side of the top paper shows a print preview of a front side of a first sheet in the duplex print job. Image portions corresponding to the back side of the top paper and the front side of the second paper show, respectively, print preview of the back side of the first sheet and front side of a second sheet. The page images may be displayed at a glance for multiple pages in a two up fashion.

An information processing apparatus according to one aspect of the present disclosure includes a communication control portion, an error code storage portion, an acquiring portion, and a determination portion. Communication control portion communicates with storage device based on interface communication standard, to perform data transfer therewith. Error code storage portion stores one or a plurality of selected error codes selected from a plurality of error codes defined by interface communication standard. Acquiring portion acquires error information outputted from storage device. Determination portion determines whether or not error code indicated by error information coincides with selected error code. When determination portion determines that error code coincides with selected error code, communication control portion communicates again with storage device to perform data transfer therewith. When determination portion determines that error code does not coincide with selected error code, communication control portion executes error processing corresponding to error code indicated by error information.

Information processing apparatus with error verification including error processing or transferring again based on a code coinciding with codes defined by an interface communication standard

An image forming apparatus includes an image forming unit, a whole preview image generating unit that generates a whole preview image, the whole preview image being a print preview image of the entirety of each page, a display unit, a whole preview image display control unit that controls displaying the whole preview image, a divided preview image generating unit that generates divided preview images, the divided preview images being made by dividing the print preview image of each page by a dividing number, a divided preview image enlarging unit that enlarges each of the divided preview images at higher magnification than a display magnification of the whole preview image and generates enlarged divided preview images, and a divided preview image display control unit that controls displaying the enlarged divided preview images.

Image forming apparatus and method of displaying preview image

Provided is an image forming apparatus including: a connection portion for performing communication with a keyboard; and a display portion for performing displaying of disabled keys when the keyboard is connected to the connection portion, the disabled keys being unusable keys among keys provided to the keyboard.

Image forming apparatus and display method for a display portion of an image forming apparatus

An operation displaying device including: an operation screen which receives an instruction for operation; a computing device which executes computation; and a performance monitoring unit which monitors a performance of an application software that executes display processing, wherein: when an operation mode of the operation displaying device is in a power saving mode and a remaining memory capacity of a memory, which is used as temporary storage by the computing device, is less than or equal to than a predetermined threshold, the performance monitoring unit restarts the application software which is running.
