20150215478 | IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS CAPABLE OF DISPLAYING DOCUMENT THUMBNAIL IMAGE, IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS CONTROL METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - An image processing apparatus includes a memory, and a processor in communication with the memory, the processor configured to control a storage unit configured to associate and store a document and a thumbnail image of a top page of the document, a deletion unit configured to delete a page designated from among pages of the document stored in the storage unit, and a generation unit configured to, in a case where a page to be deleted by the deletion unit is a top page of the document, generate a thumbnail image based on the top page of the document after deletion. | 2015-07-30 |
20150215479 | WORK FLOW AND FINISHING FOR PRINT PRODUCTION OF PHOTOGRAPH IMAGES - Providing for workflow and finishing solutions for printing are disclosed herein. By way of example, disclosed workflow provides grouping and managing a stream(s) of digital images across a substrate width, for maximizing print productivity and profitability. Digital images are re-sized according to print instructions and oriented into a print stream. Multiple print streams can be organized onto the substrate width, to improve substrate packing. Moreover, disclosed finishing solutions provide for outputting streams of prints according to an output format, in conjunction with rendering the digital images in physical form. | 2015-07-30 |
20150215480 | INFORMATION PROCESSING SYSTEM, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, AND COMPUTER-READABLE RECORDING MEDIUM - A system according to the present invention includes a first communication unit, a second communication unit, and an executing unit. The first communication unit is connected to a first network segment. The second communication unit is connected to a second network segment different from the first network segment, and receives a processing request, which requests to execute predetermined processing, from an apparatus via the second network segment and transmits the received processing request to the first communication unit. The executing unit executes the predetermined processing in response to the processing request received by the first communication unit. | 2015-07-30 |
20150215481 | SYSTEM, APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR ENHANCING SCAN FUNCTIONALITY - Systems, apparatuses and methods are provided to allow a multi-functional apparatus to control a mixed mode scan job build. Different types of sheets of documents with various configurations can be combined into a single output document with the various configurations intact. | 2015-07-30 |
20150215482 | OPERATION CONSOLE, AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS PROVIDED WITH THE OPERATION CONSOLE - An operation unit of an image forming apparatus having a plurality of operation modes, allowing accurate and easy input by the user requesting switching of display to a screen image allowing selection of an operation mode, includes: a pilot lamp, a touch-panel display, and hardware keys including a power key, an energy-saving key and a home key. The home key that switches the display on the touch-panel display to an operation mode selecting screen image (home screen image) when pressed is provided closer to the touch-panel display than other hardware buttons. | 2015-07-30 |
