A mobile terminal improved in operability concerning fax transmission. A CPU of the mobile terminal sets information indicative of a fax transmission destination, sets reading and transmission information concerning fax transmission and original reading, and sends a request for fax transmission, to an image forming apparatus. When a response notifying capability of fax transmission is received from the apparatus, the CPU causes a message for prompting a user to set an original, to be displayed on a display section. When the original has been set and an instruction for fax transmission from the user is received, the CPU sends an instruction for reading the original and executing fax transmission, together with the transmission destination information, and the reading and transmission information, to the apparatus. The CPU causes a result of fax transmission by the apparatus to be displayed on the display section.

A mobile terminal capable of setting a cover sheet and a header of a fax document and causing an image forming apparatus to transmit the fax document. Cover data representative of a cover sheet is created according to the settings of a cover sheet of a fax document, and header data representative of a header is created according to the settings of a header of the fax document. Upon receipt of an instruction for transmitting a fax document from the user, the mobile terminal transmits an instruction to the image forming apparatus for reading an original and transmitting the fax document, together with transmission destination information indicative of a transmission destination to which the fax document is to be transmitted and at least one of the cover data and the header data.

An information processing apparatus includes: a second reception unit configured to receive a predetermined signal outputted via a first signal line from the image forming unit; a third reception unit configured to receive a surface information outputted via a second signal line from the image forming unit; a storage unit configured to store, in association with the surface information, a plurality of pieces of correction data respectively corresponding to a plurality of reflecting surfaces; a correction unit configured to correct the image data to correspond to a reflecting surface onto which a light for scanning a photosensitive member is to be deflected, based on correction data; and a third output unit configured to, in response to receiving the predetermined signal, output the corrected image data.

Information processing apparatus for correcting image data corresponding to reflecting surface, and image forming apparatus

An information processing apparatus includes a light emitting unit and a light receiving unit for receiving light output from the light emitting unit, and includes a detection unit for outputting a light reception signal indicating that the light receiving unit has received light from the light emitting unit, a driving signal output unit for outputting a driving signal to the detection unit so that the light emitting unit intermittently outputs light, a detection signal output unit for outputting, based on the output driving signal and the output light reception signal, a detection signal indicating whether an object exists between the light emitting unit and the light receiving unit, and a control unit including an interrupt port to which the output detection signal is input and for returning from a power saving state in response to the detection signal being input to the interrupt port in the power saving state.

Scanner apparatus and printer apparatus having power savings

An image forming apparatus having a short-range wireless communication function includes a scanner that scans a document and generates image data of the document, and a storage that stores the image data generated by the scanner. If an operation mode of scanning a document by the scanner and transmitting image data of the document to an external apparatus by the short-range wireless communication function is instructed, the scanner is controlled to generate image data of a document, and store the image data in the storage, and then the image data stored in the storage is transmitted to the external apparatus by the short-range wireless communication function.

An image forming apparatus stores image data generated from a document scanned by a scanner on a removable medium. When storage on the removable medium is not completed, part of the image data that has been stored by that time is deleted from the removable medium.

Image forming apparatus, control method for image forming apparatus, and storage medium

An information processing apparatus includes a switching unit configured to switch between supply and cutoff of power to the information processing apparatus, a driving unit configured to cause the switching unit to be OFF-state to cut off the supply of power to the information processing apparatus, and a control unit configured, in a case where a predetermined condition is satisfied, to drive the driving unit to cause the switching unit to be OFF-state, in which, if the supply of power to the information processing apparatus is not cut off in response to the control unit driving the driving unit, the control unit reboots the information processing apparatus.

Information processing apparatus and method for controlling the same

In an image forming apparatus being capable of executing a specific copy job to perform copy processing in cooperation with an external apparatus, when cancel of the specific copy job is instructed before completion of printing by a printing unit, the external apparatus is notified of the cancel of the specific copy job, and printing based on processed image data received by a reception unit is canceled.

It is determined whether a password for a secure print function has been appended to print data, which is to be reprinted, that has been stored in a memory for storing this print data received from a host computer. A prescribed period of time up to the moment of data deletion regarding the print data for which it has been determined that the secure print password has been appended thereto is set to be different from a prescribed period of time up to the moment of data deletion regarding the print data for which it has been determined that the secure print password has not been appended thereto.

Printing apparatus and method of controlling same

An apparatus continues, before a number of pages where image data started to be input reaches N pages, inputting of the image data until an amount of the image data stored in a storage unit reaches a first amount, and thereafter, continue the inputting of the image data until the amount of the stored image data reaches a second amount, which is smaller than the first amount.

Image reading apparatus and a method for controlling the same to perform print processing based on the stored image data

A facsimile communication apparatus for transmitting/receiving image data via a telephone public circuit network is provided. The apparatus includes: a detection unit configured to detect whether a call signal is being received from the telephone public circuit network; an acceptance unit configured to accept, when the detection unit detects that the call signal is being received, an instruction from a user to perform line capture for the call signal; and a control unit configured to control, when the acceptance unit accepts the instruction to perform line capture, the apparatus to perform line capture. When the acceptance unit accepts the instruction to perform line capture, the control unit controls the apparatus not to perform line capture during a call signal-on interval of the call signal.
