Abstract: When receiving an electronic mail from a mail server, an MFP generates received information regarding the received electronic mail and prints an image attached to the electronic mail on a sheet together with the generated received information. A user sets in advance a sheet size used for reception print via a setting screen for a reception print size. When the sheet size is set, the MFP determines whether a length of a side parallel to an order of a character string of the received information to be printed is a predetermined length or longer and performs control to prevent a size determined as not having the predetermined length or longer from being set as a sheet size to be used for printing the image attached to the electronic mail together with the received information.

Abstract: Disclosed are a vehicle travel system and vehicle travel control method for guiding a haulage vehicle to a loading point without interference with obstacles. The vehicle travel system is provided with a direction input device (102), travel route calculating unit (1507) and vehicle control unit (205). Through the direction input device, an operator of a loading machine (10) inputs the direction of a body of a haulage vehicle (20-1) at a loading point (LP-L or LP-R). The travel route calculating unit calculates a travel route on which the haulage vehicle (20-1) is to be stopped in the inputted direction at the loading point (LP-L or LP-R). The vehicle control unit performs vehicle control to allow the haulage vehicle (20-1) to travel along and stop on the travel route.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus and method that prevents an image based on a file attached to an electronic mail from being repeatedly printed includes receiving an electronic mail from a mail server, printing an image based on the file attached to the received electronic mail, and deleting the electronic mail from the mail server after the image is printed. If the electronic mail cannot be deleted from the mail server, identification information corresponding to the undeleted electronic mail is stored, and the image based on the file attached to the electronic mail corresponding to identification information coinciding with the stored identification information is not printed.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus that is capable of flexibly coping with charging in various protocols. A user information storage unit allows registering relating user information related with a protocol. A reception unit receives a print job that includes the relating user information and that is requested to execute according to a protocol from an external apparatus. A determination unit determines whether the relating user information in the print job is registered in the user information storage unit. A storing unit stores the print job without starting to print when the determination unit determines that the relating user information included in the print job is not registered. A registration unit registers the relating user information included in the print job to the user information storage unit, when printing of the print job stored is started according to an instruction from a user who logged in to the image forming apparatus.

Abstract: A traffic control system for allowing vehicles to travel unattended while maintaining their inter-vehicular distances without interfering with each other includes an onboard control apparatus mounted on the vehicles; and a traffic control apparatus which divides tracks for multiple vehicles into a plurality of sections and performs a blocking control to assign non-overlapping travelable sections to the multiple vehicles as a permitted travel section. The onboard control apparatus sets a travel permission request starting distance that is longer than a stoppable distance on the basis of the current speed of the vehicle and repeatedly transmits a travel permission request and current position information to the traffic control apparatus until the next travel permission is obtained when the remaining length of the permitted travel section has become shorter than the travel permission request starting distance in the advancing direction of the vehicle.

Abstract: To advance a dump truck quickly and smoothly to a position where target loading work will be performed relative to an excavating machine, the dump truck is placed in loading target position relative to the excavating machine. Geographic position is detected from GPS satellites of a GPS receiver of the dump truck. The position and direction of the geographic position is transmitted to the excavating machine as a target position image. The target position image and an approach route leading to the position are displayed on a dump truck display when the truck thereafter approaches the position. The dump truck thereafter approaches the position, and the truck is driven so that a current position image advances along the approach route to the target position image, whereby the dump truck is placed in the set loading image target position.
