The background light source faces towards the second surface to provide an intermittent light signal to the background sheet, so that the background sheet correspondingly displays an intermittent variation background image on the first surface. The scan module is disposed on another side of the scan channel, and captures a document image of a document and the intermittent variation background image to generate scan data accordingly. | 2015-11-26 |
20150341523 | IMAGE READING DEVICE, IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS, AND IMAGE READING METHOD - An image reading device includes: a moving body that moves to convey at least any of a light source that irradiates a document, a reflecting member that reflects reflected light from the document, and a photoelectric conversion element that performs photoelectric conversion on the reflected light; a driving unit that drives the moving body such that the moving body moves from a stop position to a target stop position in a sub-scanning direction; a detecting unit that is arranged at a position away from the target stop position in the sub-scanning direction, and detects arrival of the moving body; and a control unit that controls the driving unit such that the driving unit is switched from a state of being driven in a synchronizing operation region to a state of being driven in a self-starting region before the detecting unit detects arrival of the moving body. | 2015-11-26 |
20150341524 | IMAGE CAPTURING APPARATUS - An image capturing apparatus is disclosed. An image capturing section captures an image of light and obtains image data. An image display section displays the image data obtained by the image capturing section with a predetermined number of pixels. A storage section stores the image data obtained by the image capturing section. An interface section is connectable to an external storage device. A control section causes the image data obtained by the image capturing section to be stored to the external storage device connected through the interface section, when the captured image data are stored to the external storage device, the image data whose number of pixel exceeds the predetermined number of pixels to be converted into image data having the predetermined number of pixels, and the converted image data to be stored to the storage section. | 2015-11-26 |
20150341525 | FACSIMILE APPARATUS AND FACSIMILE COMMUNICATION SYSTEM - A facsimile apparatus includes a data acquisition section, a facsimile transmission candidate image storage section, a destination receiving section, a facsimile communication section, a print setting information management section, and a facsimile transmission image generating section. The facsimile communication section is configured to transmit and receive, to and from a destination facsimile apparatus, information necessary for facsimile communication including a facsimile transmission candidate image and print setting information. The print setting information management section is configured to store the print setting information received from the destination by the facsimile communication section. The facsimile transmission image generating section is configured to manipulate the facsimile transmission candidate image to meet the printing condition indicated by the print setting information on the destination stored in the print setting information management section, thus generating a facsimile transmission image subject to a facsimile transmission to the destination. | 2015-11-26 |
20150341526 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR FORMING A HALFTONE SCREEN - A method of forming a halftone screen, the method comprising: representing a first tone range by forming a plurality of dots arranged in a grid; representing a second tone range by forming a plurality of substantially cross-shaped dots arranged in a grid, the cross-shaped dots contained within respective dot cells and having four arms, a distal end of at least one of the arms wider than a proximal end, the second tone range darker than the first tone range; and representing a third tone range by forming a plurality of substantially cross-shaped dots arranged in a grid, the cross-shaped dots contained within respective dot cells and having four arms, a proximal end of at least one of the arms wider than the proximal end of at least one arm of the cross-shaped dots representing the second tone range, the third tone range darker than the second tone range. | 2015-11-26 |
