  • Patent number: 11394841
    Abstract: An image reading apparatus includes a detection unit, a display unit, a conveyance control unit, and a reading unit. The detection unit detects that a document is placed on a document tray. When the detection unit detects that the document is placed on the document tray, the display unit displays an object related to setting of a thickness of the document if a predetermined function is not being performed. The conveyance control unit conveys the document based on information indicating the document thickness set via the object. The reading unit reads an image of the conveyed document.

  • Patent number: 10435264
    Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a sheet supporting portion, a regulating portion, a feeding portion, an image forming unit, a sheet detection unit, and a control unit. The control unit is configured to execute, in a state where an image forming job in which an image is formed by the image forming unit is interrupted, a drive processing of the feeding portion such that (a) the feeding portion is driven at a first timing if the regulating portion is not set to a moved state within a predetermined period of time from when the sheet detection unit has detected the sheet, and (b) the feed portion is driven at a second timing later than the first timing if the regulating portion is set to the moved state within the predetermined period of time from when the sheet detection unit has detected the sheet.

  • Patent number: 10185528
    Abstract: To provide an e-mail communication apparatus, an e-mail communication method and a program capable of, in the case of receiving e-mail which is split e-mails including request-to-send (RTS) information for transmitting the e-mail to a predetermined destination, suitably performing transmittal confirmation without transmitting to a source the e-mail of the transmittal confirmation as to each of multiple pieces of the split e-mails. First, an MFP 100 having received the e-mail determines whether or not the e-mail is one of multiple divided data pieces generated by dividing image data by a data amount so as to store it. In the case where the received data is the divided data, the MFP 100 determines whether or not all the divided data pieces of the image data are stored, and transmits transmittal confirmation mail based on an MDN request if all are stored.

  • Publication number: 20170374228
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides an image forming apparatus capable of improving usability in a configuration where information related to sheet size is detected automatically, and a control method thereof. A control unit is configured to execute a determination process if the control unit acquires a detection result of a size of a sheet supported on a sheet support portion by a size detection unit in a state where a first information related to a size of a sheet and a second information related to a type of a sheet that satisfy a predetermined combination condition are stored in the storage portion. The control unit determines in the determination process whether the detection result of the size of the sheet satisfies the combination condition with respect to the second information stored in the storage portion, and changes a successive procedure depending on a result of the determination process.

  • Patent number: 9477435
    Abstract: If a control method during correction processing is not designated in setting information sent from a mobile terminal and if the image forming apparatus has no capability to execute a function (element) designated in the setting information, the image forming apparatus corrects the setting information to be a setting corresponding to the capability. On the other hand, if the control method during the correction processing is designated in the setting information sent from the mobile terminal and if the image forming apparatus has no capability to execute a function (element) designated in the setting information, the image forming apparatus performs correction after confirmation of stop of the function or correction of the function according to the control method.
