20080283609 | Media Storing Code Detecting Program, Code Detecting Method, and Image Forming Apparatus - A medium storing a program to make a computer to function as a code detecting device, the code detecting device comprises a base line specifying section to extract edges from a scan image obtained by a process of scanning a printed matter in which at least a one-dimensional bar code or a two dimensional code are printed, to extract straight lines from the extracted edges, and to specify the longest straight line as a base line among the extracted straight lines; and a code detecting section to perform a pattern matching for the scan image based on the base line and to detect the one-dimensional bar code or the two dimensional code. | 11-20-2008 |
20080313744 | Computer Readable Medium Embodying Control Program, Image Forming Apparatus, Control System, and Control Method - Disclosed a computer readable medium embodying a control program enabling a computer to function as: a save control section to save document data of a first document including secret information at a predetermined saving position; a code generating section to generate a code in which address information of the saving position and opening range information defining an opening range of users to whom the secret information is opened are recorded; and an output control section to enable printing or displaying a second document in which a specified position of the first document is obscured and the code is added. | 12-18-2008 |
20080320604 | Controlling Program, Image Forming Apparatus and Print Controlling Method - There is described an image forming apparatus, which makes it possible to securely prevent the secret information from leaking out to unauthorized personnel. The apparatus includes: a display section to display a first document that includes secret information; an operating section to designate a concealing position in the first document and establish a disclosable range of the secret information, therefrom; a storage control section to store document data, designation positional information and disclosable range information, while correlating them with each other; an authenticating section to determine whether or not a user coincides with the disclosable range, based on identification information of the user; and a printing section to print either at least a copy of the first document, when the user coincides with the disclosable range, or copies of a second document, when the authenticating section determines that the user does not coincide with the disclosable range. | 12-25-2008 |
20090091786 | Controlling Program and Image Forming Apparatus - There is described a network system that includes a plurality of image forming apparatuses, which are coupled to each other through a network, and each of which makes it possible to output voice guidance from an image forming apparatus located in the vicinity of the specific user who has instructed any one of the other image forming apparatuses to implement a print job. Each of the plurality of image forming apparatuses includes: a communication section to bilaterally communicate information with other image forming apparatuses; an authenticating section to authenticate whether or not the specific user resides by the image forming apparatus concerned; and a voice outputting section to output the guidance for the specific user by emitting the audible voice; wherein, when the print job is suspended, select one of the image forming apparatus to carry the voice guidance to the specific user and output the guidance again. | 04-09-2009 |
