20090134704 | ELECTRIC POWER-SUPPLY APPARATUS AND OVER-DISCHARGE CONTROL METHOD FOR USE THEREWITH - A method for controlling over-discharge of a secondary battery that is charged with electric power from a main power supply and that supplies electric power to a load when the supply of electric power to the load by the main power supply is stopped is provided. When a battery voltage detection unit detects that the voltage output by the secondary battery has decreased to less than an auxiliary voltage threshold value, a switching unit sets the second electric power-supply unit, the load, and the auxiliary voltage detection unit to a disconnected state in which electric power is not supplied from the second electric power-supply unit to the load and the auxiliary voltage detection unit, and otherwise sets them to a connected state in which electric power is supplied from the secondary battery to the load and the battery voltage detection unit. | 05-28-2009 |
20090309423 | CHARGING CONTROL APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING THE SAME - A charge control apparatus operable in a first power mode or a second power mode having power consumption less than that of the first power mode, the charge control apparatus includes a main power supply, an auxiliary power supply, a charging unit, a time count unit, and a charge control unit, wherein the charge control unit controls the charging unit to switch from a first charge mode to a second charge mode upon detecting that the charging time counted by the time count unit is or larger than a predetermined time period in the first power mode, and wherein the charge control unit controls the charging unit to operate in the second charge mode when the charge control apparatus operates in the second power mode. | 12-17-2009 |
20100321735 | IMAGE READING APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING THE SAME - An apparatus continues, before a number of pages where image data started to be input reaches N pages, inputting of the image data until an amount of the image data stored in a storage unit reaches a first amount, and thereafter, continue the inputting of the image data until the amount of the stored image data reaches a second amount, which is smaller than the first amount. | 12-23-2010 |
20110235135 | IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD FOR IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - An image forming apparatus stores image data generated from a document scanned by a scanner on a removable medium. When storage on the removable medium is not completed, part of the image data that has been stored by that time is deleted from the removable medium. | 09-29-2011 |
20110299123 | IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS, METHOD OF CONTROLLING THE SAME, PROGRAM AND IMAGE FORMING SYSTEM - In an image forming apparatus being capable of executing a specific copy job to perform copy processing in cooperation with an external apparatus, when cancel of the specific copy job is instructed before completion of printing by a printing unit, the external apparatus is notified of the cancel of the specific copy job, and printing based on processed image data received by a reception unit is canceled. | 12-08-2011 |
20130070281 | PRINTING APPARATUS AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING SAME - It is determined whether a password for a secure print function has been appended to print data, which is to be reprinted, that has been stored in a memory for storing this print data received from a host computer. A prescribed period of time up to the moment of data deletion regarding the print data for which it has been determined that the secure print password has been appended thereto is set to be different from a prescribed period of time up to the moment of data deletion regarding the print data for which it has been determined that the secure print password has not been appended thereto. | 03-21-2013 |
20130204400 | INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING THE SAME - An information processing apparatus includes a switching unit configured to switch between supply and cutoff of power to the information processing apparatus, a driving unit configured to cause the switching unit to be OFF-state to cut off the supply of power to the information processing apparatus, and a control unit configured, in a case where a predetermined condition is satisfied, to drive the driving unit to cause the switching unit to be OFF-state, in which, if the supply of power to the information processing apparatus is not cut off in response to the control unit driving the driving unit, the control unit reboots the information processing apparatus. | 08-08-2013 |
20140376044 | MOBILE TERMINAL CAPABLE OF INSTRUCTING TRANSMISSION OF FAX, IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS, METHODS OF CONTROLLING MOBILE TERMINAL AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS, COMMUNICATION SYSTEM, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A mobile terminal improved in operability concerning fax transmission. A CPU of the mobile terminal sets information indicative of a fax transmission destination, sets reading and transmission information concerning fax transmission and original reading, and sends a request for fax transmission, to an image forming apparatus. When a response notifying capability of fax transmission is received from the apparatus, the CPU causes a message for prompting a user to set an original, to be displayed on a display section. When the original has been set and an instruction for fax transmission from the user is received, the CPU sends an instruction for reading the original and executing fax transmission, together with the transmission destination information, and the reading and transmission information, to the apparatus. The CPU causes a result of fax transmission by the apparatus to be displayed on the display section. | 12-25-2014 |
