Abstract: A policy-based system is implemented to allow access to a private domain to print using a public domain. The private domain includes private servers that store documents. The public domain includes servers and a printing device. A public policy server uses a domain list and a protocol connection with a private authentication server to validate a user and identify which private domain to access. The public policy server receives requests from the printing device to process a print job of a document in the private domain. The policy-based system also determines whether scanning operations for a document are allowed for a user at a scanning device. The private policy server determines policy values that are used to allow the scanning operations.

Abstract: A sheet reader reads the entire sheet which is transported. Based on the reading, a controller generates region classification image data for distinguishing between a region of the sheet and a region other than the sheet. The controller performs comparison processing in which reference image data that is the region classification image data of a first sheet in a print job and comparison target image data that is the region classification image data for another sheet are compared. The controller determines whether or not a sheet corresponding to the comparison target image data is abnormal.

Abstract: An image forming system includes an image forming apparatus, a management terminal device, and a mobile terminal device. The mobile terminal device downloads and installs an application program, presents identification information to the management terminal device, and accepts a temporal ID. The management terminal device, upon accepting the identification information from the mobile terminal device, generates the temporal ID, presents the temporal ID to the mobile terminal device, and transmits the temporal ID to a user authentication device to register the temporal ID as a user ID of the guest user. When payment of a usage fee for the image forming apparatus by the guest user is completed, the management terminal device deletes registration of the temporal ID. The image forming apparatus performs user authentication when the guest user logs in to the image forming apparatus, and issues an invoice when the guest user logs out.

Abstract: A cloud-based server and a port monitor on a device provide authentication of a user to access print jobs on the server. An application may print or perform other operations from the cloud-based server to a printing device. The port monitor uploads data for a document to the cloud-based server. Once the data for the document is uploaded, a claim code is generated by the cloud-based server. The port monitor receives the claim code. The port monitor initiates the launch of a browser having a uniform resource locator (URL) address for the server along with the claim code. The user is authenticated using a login page and the claim code associated to the user to allow access to the document on the server.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes a controller circuit configured to calculate a number of multiple micro-triangles included in a region of each pixel of the multiple pixels, the region being covered by the right triangle, each micro-triangle of the multiple micro-triangles and the first micro-triangle being congruent, and calculate an area of the region of each pixel of the multiple pixels, the region being covered by the right triangle, on a basis of the number of the multiple micro-triangles and the area of the first micro-triangle.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a controller circuit configured to execute an information processing program to operate as a rendering module, the rendering module being configured to determine whether or not a specified font is included in the list, the specified font being a font specified by the font specifying information, if determining that the specified font is not included in the list, select an alternative font from the list, the alternative font being one of the one or more fonts, render a character specified by the character code included in the printable data by using alternative font data, the alternative font data being font data of the alternative font, and render alternative font rendering information, the alternative font rendering information being information indicating that rendering is executed by using the alternative font data.

Abstract: A policy-based printing system is implemented to allow access to a private domain to print using a public domain. The private domain includes private servers that store documents. The public domain includes servers and a printing device. A public policy server uses a domain list and a protocol connection with a private authentication server to validate a user and identify which private domain to access. The public policy server receives requests from the printing device to process a print job of a document in the private domain. The public server may associate a public personal identification number (PIN) with a corporate PIN for the printing operations. In the event of split printing, the public server generates another public PIN for use with another printing device.

Abstract: A policy-based printing system is implemented to allow access to a private domain to print using a public domain using a corporate personal identification number (PIN) and a public PIN. The private domain includes private servers that store documents. The public domain includes servers and a printing device. A public policy server uses a domain list and a protocol connection with a private authentication server to validate a user and identify which private domain to access. The public policy server retrieves a policy from a private policy server that configures the parameters for printing using the public domain. The print job data is provided to a public file server until the public policy server confirms that the print job can be sent to the printing device.

In the event of split printing, the public server generates another public PIN for use with another printing device having another graphical code.

Abstract: A cloud-based server and a port monitor on a device provide authentication of a user to access scanned documents on the server. A scanning device may capture a digital image of a document. The port monitor uploads data for a scanned document to the cloud-based server. Once the data for the document is uploaded, a claim code is generated by the cloud-based server. The port monitor receives the claim code. The port monitor initiates the launch of a browser having a uniform resource locator (URL) address for the server along with the claim code. The user is authenticated using a login page and the claim code associated to the user to allow access to the document on the server.
