20150249757 | IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING THE SAME - An image forming apparatus and method are provided. The image forming apparatus includes an image forming unit to form an image on a recording medium, a communication unit to receive setup information related to an image forming operation from a mobile terminal, a storage unit to store data related to the image forming operation; and a controller to determine a user authority on the basis of identifier (ID) information of the mobile terminal and to store at least some parts from among the received setup information in the storage unit according to the determined user authority. The image forming apparatus receives setup information stored in the user's mobile terminal through a near field communication (NFC) scheme, such that the user can easily and quickly change setup information of the image forming apparatus. | 2015-09-03 |
20150249758 | IMAGE COMMUNICATING APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD THEREFOR, AND STORAGE MEDIUM STORING PROGRAM - An image communicating apparatus capable of transmitting/receiving image data via a high-speed digital line network determines whether a transmission destination device is busy. If it is determined that the transmission destination device is busy, the image communicating apparatus redials the transmission destination device a preset number of times. If it cannot be determined that the transmission destination device is busy and transmission has not ended normally, the image communicating apparatus redials the transmission destination device by limiting a redial count. | 2015-09-03 |
20150249759 | IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS AND MAINTENANCE METHOD THEREFOR - The current value comparison unit configured to calculate a first variation amount by subtracting a reference value of a reference chart from a current registered value of a current chart for every setting item based on the reference values for every setting item registered in advance and the current registered values for every setting item. The preceding value comparison unit configured to calculate a second variation amount by subtracting the reference value of the reference chart from a preceding registered value of a preceding chart for every setting item based on the reference values and the preceding registered values for every setting item registered before changing the current registered value. The priority order setting unit configured to display the setting items in descending order of priorities based on the first variation amount and the second variation amount. | 2015-09-03 |
20150249760 | ELECTRONIC APPARATUS THAT CHANGES OPERATION MESSAGES,CONTROLLING METHOD OF ELECTRONIC APPARATUS, AND RECORDING MEDIUM - Provided is an electronic apparatus, when there is a request of modification of a message, or the like, which are shown on a display for indication from a user, it remakes the operation program that includes a message part at the site in which the MFP or the like are installed, and a check of the validity of the message part to be changed is possible. A display shows first information. A memory part writes the first information, second information and operation program for changing a part or all of the first information, and a source code for a basis of the operation program. By a control apparatus, the second information is determined to be appropriate. A control circuit is accepted in this case and generates an operation program based on the source code, the first information, and the second information. | 2015-09-03 |
