20080297822 | IMAGE-PROCESSING SYSTEM, CONTROL METHOD, PROGRAM, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - An image processing system includes a printing unit configured to print an image, a managing unit configured to manage charging information that can be reduced according to print processing performed by the printing unit, and a control unit configured to slow down the print processing performed by the printing unit if an available printing remaining amount indicated by the charging information is less than a predetermined value. | 12-04-2008 |
20100296827 | IMAGE PROCESSING SYSTEM, IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD OF THE SAME, PROGRAM, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - In an image processing system, a charging process for an executed print process is executed using one of a first charging method and a second charging method. Especially, when executing a print process of an image including a plurality of pages, it is determined before the start of the print process of the image including the plurality of pages on the basis of balance information managed in advance whether execution of the print process of the image including the plurality of pages is possible. When the first charging method is selected, execution of the print process is controlled on the basis of the result of determination. When the second charging method is selected, the print process is executed without determination. | 11-25-2010 |
20120001377 | IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS, SHEET FEED CONTROL METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - An image forming apparatus capable of printing a non-standard size image on a sheet of a size as desired by the user as possible, and preventing stoppage of printing the image even when there is no sheet of the size desired by the user in a sheet feeder. When image data is for a non-standard size, if there is a sheet feeder accommodating recording sheets of which vertical and lateral lengths corresponding to vertical and lateral lengths represented by the image data are designated, a control unit feeds the sheets from the sheet feeding cassette. If there is no such a sheet feeder, the control unit feeds recording sheets of a free size from a manual feed tray accommodating the recording sheets of the free size. | 01-05-2012 |
20120176637 | IMAGE COPY DEVICE, IMAGE COPY METHOD, INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE, AND PROGRAM - A double-sided manuscript is scanned and copied without degrading the security level and information leakage due to copy of the manuscript is prevented. When it is instructed to copy a manuscript in which a code indicating copy permission exists on a first side and the code does not exist on a second side, a copy is output, with one side bearing thereon a copied image of the first side and the other side being blank. | 07-12-2012 |
20120195618 | IMAGE PROCESSING SYSTEM, IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD OF THE SAME, PROGRAM, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - In an image processing system, a charging process for an executed print process is executed using one of a first charging method and a second charging method. Especially, when executing a print process of an image including a plurality of pages, it is determined before the start of the print process of the image including the plurality of pages on the basis of balance information managed in advance whether execution of the print process of the image including the plurality of pages is possible. When the first charging method is selected, execution of the print process is controlled on the basis of the result of determination. When the second charging method is selected, the print process is executed without determination. | 08-02-2012 |
20130221599 | IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS, SHEET FEED CONTROL METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - An image forming apparatus capable of printing a non-standard size image on a sheet of a size as desired by the user as possible, and preventing stoppage of printing the image even when there is no sheet of the size desired by the user in a sheet feeder. When image data is for a non-standard size, if there is a sheet feeder accommodating recording sheets of which vertical and lateral lengths corresponding to vertical and lateral lengths represented by the image data are designated, a control unit feeds the sheets from the sheet feeding cassette. If there is no such a sheet feeder, the control unit feeds recording sheets of a free size from a manual feed tray accommodating the recording sheets of the free size. | 08-29-2013 |
20140161476 | PRINTING APPARATUS, METHOD FOR CONTROLLING PRINTING APPARATUS, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A printing apparatus includes a power control unit, a detecting unit, and a determining unit. The power control unit controls power supply to an operation unit, an engine unit, and a controller unit. The detecting unit detects a size of a sheet held in a sheet holding unit. The determining unit determines, after the printing apparatus is shifted to a power saving state which restricts power supply to the operation unit, the engine unit, and the controller unit, whether a size of a sheet specified in a received job and the detected size match each other. Where the determining unit determines that the detected and specified size of the sheets match each other, the power control unit supplies power to the controller engine units while maintaining the restriction on power supply to the operation unit, and shifts the printing apparatus to the power saving state after the job ends. | 06-12-2014 |
20140232057 | IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS, SHEET FEED CONTROL METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - An image forming apparatus capable of printing a non-standard size image on a sheet of a size as desired by the user as possible, and preventing stoppage of printing the image even when there is no sheet of the size desired by the user in a sheet feeder. When image data is for a non-standard size, if there is a sheet feeder accommodating recording sheets of which vertical and lateral lengths corresponding to vertical and lateral lengths represented by the image data are designated, a control unit feeds the sheets from the sheet feeding cassette. If there is no such a sheet feeder, the control unit feeds recording sheets of a free size from a manual feed tray accommodating the recording sheets of the free size. | 08-21-2014 |
20150029521 | PRINTING APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD OF PRINTING APPARATUS, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A printing apparatus prints an image in a right direction based on an open/close state of a flap of a held envelope and on a position of the flap received from a user. A control method for controlling a printing apparatus, includes determining whether an envelope having a flap is held by a holding unit with its flap opened or the envelope is held by the holding unit with its flap closed, receiving, from a user, a front end, a far side, or a back end in the conveyance direction of the envelope as a position of the flap of the envelope held by the holding unit, and performing control such that a direction of an image to be printed on the envelope is decided based on a result of the determination and on the received position of the flap, and the image is printed on the envelope. | 01-29-2015 |
