A medium side surface of the reflector is located so as to protrude from the second end surface of the light guide. | 2022-05-26 |
20220166898 | IMAGE READING APPARATUS - An image reading apparatus includes a main body, a touch panel, a document transport path, a feed tray, a feed roller, a separation unit, a reader, a discharge roller, a discharge tray, and a mounting table. The mounting table is provided on an upper side of the main body and includes an upper surface. The mounting table is located at an outer face of the main body, the upper surface serves as a mounting surface on which the source document to be fed or the source document that has been read is mounted. The mounting surface is located at a position higher than an upstream end of the feed tray when the source document is mounted on the mounting surface. | 2022-05-26 |
20220166899 | IMAGE RECEPTION APPARATUS, IMAGE TRANSMISSION APPARATUS, METHOD, AND RECORDING MEDIUM - An image reception apparatus including a reception unit that receives a first image from an image transmission apparatus and a transmission unit that transmits information on an attention area designated by a user in the first image to the image transmission apparatus. When the transmission unit transmits the information to the image transmission apparatus, the reception unit receives, from the image transmission apparatus, the first image together with one or more partial images corresponding to the attention area and constituting a second image of a resolution higher than a resolution of the first image. | 2022-05-26 |
20220166900 | Calibration transition in the printing direction - A method of calibrating a printing device, wherein the method comprises: associating a weighted printing value to each of a plurality of pixels, wherein associating a weighted printing value to each pixel comprises: obtaining, from a first calibration table, a first calibration value; obtaining, from a second calibration table, a second calibration value; obtaining first and second weighting factors, wherein the first weighting factor is obtained from a weighting table, generating the weighted printing value as the sum of the first calibration value weighted with the first weighting factor and the second calibration value weighted with the second weighting factor. | 2022-05-26 |
20220166901 | COLOR GAMUTS - In an example, a method includes obtaining, by a processor, a first set of vertices of a set of simplexes defining a hull of an initial color gamut. A value representing a size of a first simplex of the set of simplexes may be determined and compared to a first threshold. When the determined value is less than the first threshold, at least one vertex of the first simplex may be removed from the first set of vertices to determine a modified color gamut hull. | 2022-05-26 |
