Patent number: 8914558Abstract: The storage unit of a peripheral device has a first storage area and a second storage area. The first storage area stores a plurality of control programs corresponding to a plurality of operating systems of different types. The second storage area is a storage area which is recognized by an information processing apparatus as an external storage device and in which at least one control program is replicated from the first storage area. The information processing apparatus reads out the control program from the second storage recognized by it as the external storage device, and executes the program. The information processing apparatus thus controls the peripheral device.Type: GrantFiled: October 24, 2012Date of Patent: December 16, 2014Assignee: Canon Denshi Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Kiyoshi Ito, Hirokazu Higuchi, Ayaka Sato, Yuuki Taguchi

Patent number: 8496186Abstract: A shipping label includes a shipping label and an advertising label, and a tear-off tab is formed in the back liner sheet by a score line. After removing the tear-off tab and forming an exposed adhesive layer portion, the label part where the second barcode is printed is folded to the back side of the label to form a back-folded portion, which is held to the back side of the label by the exposed adhesive layer portion. The liner sheet portion contiguous to the tear-off tab is then removed, and the label is attached to the product. Because the second barcode is hidden on the back, only the first barcodes containing tracking information can be read, while the second barcode can be read as needed by unfolding the back-folded portion to the front.Type: GrantFiled: January 21, 2011Date of Patent: July 30, 2013Assignee: Seiko Epson CorporationInventor: Kiyoshi Ito
