An image processing apparatus includes a first storage area for storing firmware including a processing program for communication processing with an external terminal, and a processor. A processor starts execution of the processing program when a request to start the communication processing is received from the external terminal during execution of the firmware in the first storage area, and stores a modification program supplied into a second storage area when the modification program is received during execution of the processing program. The modification program is a modified program of at least a partial program in the processing program. The processor terminates execution of the processing program when a request to terminate the communication processing is received, and rewrites the processing program in the first storage area using the modification program in the second storage area when execution of the processing program is terminated.

A web system includes a web client having a web browser, and a web server for providing the web client with a computer program to be executed on the web browser. The web server includes a delivery portion configured to deliver, as the computer program, a predetermined processing program to the web client, the predetermined processing program causing the web client, when the web client starts receiving specific data from the web server, to execute inquiry processing of inquiring of the web server as to a state of transmission of the specific data in the web server, and the predetermined processing program causing the web client to execute predetermined processing after a reply that the transmission is completed is received as the state, and a reply portion configured to, when an inquiry as to the state is sent from the web client, inform the web client of the state.

Web system, web server, method for delivering data, and computer-readable storage medium for computer program

An image forming system includes an input control part and a display control part. The input control part receives an operation input from a user. The display control part selectively displays a setting screen for mode setting and a job list screen displaying a list of jobs. In more detail, the display control part displays the job list screen on the display part when a first instruction which is a display instruction for the job list screen is received during a setting operation period for mode setting. Further, the display control part hides the job list screen and displays an information display screen relating to an operation which is performed during the setting operation period, on the display part, when a second instruction which is a non-display instruction for the job list screen is received while the job list screen is being displayed.

Image forming system and computer-readable recording medium

A set value input device, comprising: a display in which a screen having at least one set value input area can be displayed; a touch detection portion; a first input portion which is displayed when the touch detection portion detects the set value input area is touched and which is to input a set value in the set value input area; a judging portion for judging, whether a second input portion is in an enabled state or in a disabled state, the second input portion being operable of the set value input screen, and inputting a set value when the set value input area is selected; and a control portion which disables the first input portion, makes one of the set value input areas selected if the second input portion is enabled, and which makes all the set value input areas non-selected if the second input portion is disabled.

Set value input device, image forming apparatus, set value input method, and recording medium

A display system includes an image forming device and a mobile communication terminal. In the display system, the mobile communication terminal accepts a flick manipulation to move the screen, and transmits flick information on the accepted flick manipulation to the image forming device. The image forming device decides an area, which is a part of the screen of the mobile communication terminal and in which display is changed when the screen is moving, and sequentially transmits to the mobile communication terminal positional information on the decided area and screen data of the screen before the movement is completed since the movement is started, which is decided based on the flick information in the decided area. The mobile communication terminal displays the screen in the area of the transmitted positional information based on the transmitted screen data.

Display system provided with first display device and second display device

A display system includes an image forming apparatus for storing screen data and a portable information terminal for displaying a screen based on the screen data stored by the image forming apparatus. The display system accepts flick operation for requesting movement of a screen at the portable communication terminal and transmits flick information concerning the flick operation to the image forming apparatus. The display system successively transmits screen data of screens from the start of movement to completion of movement from the image forming apparatus to the portable communication terminal, based on the flick information. The display system displays a screen based on the transmitted screen data on the portable communication terminal.

Display system including first and second display devices

An MFP (Multifunction Peripheral) receives, from a remote terminal, information on a first operation to request the MFP to execute processing. The MFP transmits, to the remote terminal, information on a screen in accordance with the information on the first operation, and receives, from the remote terminal, a report that a screen in accordance with the transmitted information is displayed on the remote terminal. The MFP receives, from the remote terminal, information on a second operation to request the MFP to execute processing, after receipt of the information on the first operation and before receipt of the report, and decides whether to execute or cancel the processing in accordance with the information on the second operation, depending on the type of the information on the second operation.

Image forming apparatus communicable with remote display apparatus

An MFP (Multi-Functional Peripheral) as an image forming apparatus displays a remote operation screen that is a screen for operating the MFP on an operation terminal and accepts a print setting and a print execution instruction from the operation terminal through the remote operation screen. The MFP prints the acquired image with the print setting accepted through the remote operation screen if a print execution instruction is accepted through a screen of an application different from an application that accepts a request for display of the remote operation screen.

Displaying a screen of an image forming apparatus on a display of a client device

An image forming apparatus includes a setting screen displaying portion to display a setting screen having a setting value setting area, an input screen displaying portion, responsive to designation of a position within a prescribed area determined by the setting area in the setting screen while the setting screen is being displayed, to display an input screen including input key images to be overlaid on the setting screen, a first setting value accepting portion to accept a value corresponding to the input key image designated by the user in the input screen, an operation accepting portion including hard keys, a second setting value accepting portion to accept a value corresponding to the hard key designated by the user, and a display terminating portion, responsive to acceptance of an operation of enabling the operation accepting portion while the input screen is being displayed, to terminate the display of the input screen.

Image forming apparatus with setting screen, setting method, and non-transitory computer-readable recording medium encoded with setting program

An image forming device includes a scanner for scanning a document image, and a controller for controlling the image forming device. The controller determines whether or not a loss detection image for determining presence or absence of data loss has been superimposed on a first document image scanned by the scanner, and when it is determined that the loss detection image has been superimposed on the first document image, extracts the loss detection image from the first document image and determines presence or absence of data loss in the extracted loss detection image, and notifies a user of presence or absence of data loss based on a result of the determination of presence or absence of data loss in the extracted loss detection image.
