Patent application number | Description | Published |
20090033997 | Print data output apparatus and method - An external storage unit managing system that specifies an external storage unit related to use from a plurality of the external storage units. The external storage unit managing system includes: an external storage unit retrieval unit that recognizes the external storage units connected to a print data output apparatus; and an external storage unit deciding unit that decides the desired external storage unit in a case where a plurality of the external storage units are retrieved by the external storage unit retrieval unit. | 02-05-2009 |
20110273740 | PREVIEW SCREEN DISPLAY CONTROL APPARATUS AND PREVIEW SCREEN DISPLAY CONTROL PROGRAM - A preview screen display control apparatus includes: a print data generating section that receives image data and generates print data which is capable of being discriminated by a printing apparatus, based on the image data; a print data transmitting section that communicates with the printing apparatus, receives the print data output from the print data generating section, and outputs the print data to the printing apparatus; and a preview screen display control section that displays a preview screen based on the print data generated by the print data generating section. The print data transmitting section is configured to output a control signal that causes the preview screen display control section to initiate operations, and the preview screen display control section is configured to initiate operations based on the control signal output by the print data transmitting section to display the preview screen. | 11-10-2011 |
20120099137 | PRINTING DEVICE - The printing device | 04-26-2012 |
20120162692 | IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - An image forming machine transitions into a sleep mode at a preset time of day, and keeps the sleep mode for a prescribed interval. The image forming machine includes an I/O interface, a printer, a memory, and a controller. The interface inputs a print job. The printer executes a printing of the print job. The memory stores therein an entirety or part of the print job overlapping the interval of the sleep mode, as a hold job. The controller works to have the memory store the hold job therein, and to have the printer operate after an end of the interval of the sleep mode to execute a printing of the hold job stored in the memory | 06-28-2012 |
20120194828 | IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS AND PROCESSING PROGRAM - An image processing apparatus that prints a plurality of manuscript data onto sheets and folds the printed sheets into N (2≦N) equally sized divisions is equipped with: a manuscript size obtaining section that obtains sizes of the manuscript data; a reference size obtaining section that obtains a first reference size, set based on a unit size equal to the size of the sheets divided into N divisions, and M reference sizes, set based on the unit size multiplied by M (2≦M≦N); and an arrangement setting section that arranges manuscript data of the reference size or less at single surfaces from among a plurality of printing surfaces of the sheets formed by the sheets being folded, and arranges manuscript data of an (M−1)th reference size or greater and an Mth reference size or less at M continuous surfaces from among the plurality of surfaces. | 08-02-2012 |
20120314260 | IMAGE PROCESSING DEVICE AND IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD - An image processing device includes a print image data generator and a density adjuster. The print image date generator generates print image data for each of colors to be used to print a document image from image data of the document image including a barcode image and a background image overlapped on the barcode image as a background. The density adjuster performs at least one of processing to reduce the density of the barcode image in at least any one of pieces of the print image data of colors including the barcode image and processing to reduce the density of the background image within a neighboring region that neighbors a bar of the barcode image in at least any one of pieces of the print image data of colors including the background image. | 12-13-2012 |
20130222857 | PRINTER CONTROL APPARATUS - A printer control apparatus includes an individual processing unit configured to retrieve layout setting information and generate print data that defines a print layout of the page images, a coordinate data converter configured to generate revised coordinate data by converting coordinate data of a target area based on the layout setting information, a particular processing unit configured to execute a particular processing to the target area based on the revised coordinate data and the print data, and a print job output unit configured to output the print data processed by the particular processing to the printer as a print job. According to the printer control apparatus, a user can specify the target area easily and accurately. The revised coordinate data is stored together with the layout setting information, so that the revised coordinate data can be utilized when a printing processing with the identical print layout will be executed. | 08-29-2013 |
20130223957 | DATA EDITING APPARATUS AND PROGRAM - When data about plural book sheets, each belonging to one of plural chapters, are edited to bind the plural book sheets by a casing-in operation in such a manner that chapter range images, which indicate the respective ranges of the plural chapters, are displayed on an edge so that the chapter range images that are adjacent to each other are arranged at different positions from each other in the top-bottom direction, a marker image emphasizing the chapter range image is adjacent to the chapter range image indicating the range of a chapter having book sheets the number of which is less than or equal to a predetermined threshold. | 08-29-2013 |
