Abstract: In a recording apparatus of the present invention, a both-side path is formed not to overlap with an area of a one-side path. Recording paper is inverted at a location of the both-side path, and then is returned to the one-side path. The both-side path is provided with paper removing mechanisms in respective areas corresponding to a bottom, top and rear of an housing. Thereby the removing mechanism of the both-side path does not superimpose with the one-side path.

Abstract: The recording apparatus of the present invention acquires time data from a clock built in the main body of the apparatus, and generates first calculation data by calculating the time data with a predetermined calculation method. Meanwhile, in the cartridge attached to the main body, the time data is acquired from the main body, and second calculation data is generated by calculating the time data with the same calculation method as the above-mentioned predetermined calculation method. As a result of comparing the first calculation data to the second calculation data, it is judged that the attached cartridge is proper when both of the data match, and it is judged that the attached cartridge is not proper when both of the data do not match. It is thereby possible to judge whether or not the cartridge attached to the main body is proper.

Abstract: A prediction section sends a prediction signal to a heater control section when receiving a document setting signal from a sensor for detecting a presence of a document or a book door open signal from a book door open/close sensor. The heater control section turns on power of the heater of a print section. Thereafter, a print control section executes a print operation when a print designation is operated, and turns off power of the heater when no print designation is operated within a fixed period of time or a transmission designation is operated. Therefore, power of the heater is turned on prior to instruction of a print start, and this allows the reduction of time from the operators instruction of the print start to the actual print start.

Abstract: An Internet facsimile apparatus makes inquiry about capability, which a destination possesses, to a local server. The server is connected to the same LAN as that of the Internet facsimile apparatus. When the local server has no capability information of the destination, the Internet facsimile apparatus makes inquiry to a DNS server and obtains capability information. Then, the Internet facsimile apparatus makes an image to be suitable for the capability of the destination and transmits it to the destination via the Internet. As a result, the Internet facsimile apparatus on a transmitter side can surely obtain capability information of a destination terminal, thereby making it possible to carry out the same capability exchange as that of G3 facsimile apparatus.

Abstract: A POP access section accesses a POP3 server using a first user ID/password registered in a user ID registration table, fetches message information from a mailbox of the user ID, and stores it to RAM. A message information extracting section extracts necessary information from the message information, and stores it to be associated with the user ID. Thereafter, a reception list generating section reads message information of all user IDs from RAM, and generates a reception list. Sequentially, the reception list generating section outputs the generated reception list. A user, who has seen the reception list, instructs the POP access section to fetch an e-mail message from a panel control section. This improves communication concealment.

Abstract: A controller determines whether a transmission data amount of the image data exceeds a limit capacity of a mail server connected the electronic mail communication apparatus before an actual transmission of the image data. Further, when the transmission data amount of the image data exceeds the limit capacity of the mail server, automatic processing is performed so that an electronic mail including image data can be transmitted. Accordingly, electronic mail communication apparatus of the present invention is capable of enabling users to save a lot of time for the image transmission.

Abstract: A plurality of documents including at least one symbol is scanned by a scanner section so as to be converted to image data. The symbol is recognized from image data by a symbol recognizing section. Next, a table creating section creates a link table in which the symbol included in one page is made to correspond to the other page having a common shaped symbol. A document creating section creates an HTML document using the link table based on an HTML. When the symbol of one page in the HTML document on a screen is clicked, an access to the other page can be obtained.

Abstract: An image processing device has a color/monotone common image processing section to execute a series of image processing corresponding to a monotone image having an external output terminal to take out an intermediate processing data to an external and an external input terminal to take in an image data color processed from an external section into an intermediate section. The data provided into the intermediate section of the color/monotone common image processing section is selected from the image data from the input terminal and the intermediate processing data from the former section of the color/monotone common image processing section.

Abstract: The terminations of the optical fibers are placed on columns L1 in the sub-scanning direction of a recording medium and fixed in such a way that columns L1 are stacked in multiple stages in the main scanning direction of the recording medium. In this way, the terminations form a matrix made up of 8 columns L1 in the sub-scanning direction of the recording medium and 16 rows L2 in the main scanning direction of the recording medium that intersect columns L1. The terminations of a plurality of optical fibers which belong to same columns L1 are arrayed with pitch P. With respect to a perpendicular that passes through center C of the termination of one optical fiber, center C of the termination that belongs to another column L1 and same row L2 at the same time is uniformly shifted by an amount of shift S in the sub-scanning direction. Thus, the present recording apparatus achieves improvements in both the recording speed and resolution at the same time.

Abstract: Two kinds of mail addresses, one for reception and the other for a relay, are stored beforehand. A relay is permitted only if the mail address of the received E-mail data is a relay mail address. A password name is deleted from the mail address of the received E-mail whose relay is permitted. Said mail address whose password name has been deleted is used as part of header information and transmitted to a destination terminal together with data.

Abstract: A modem parameter required for a modem apparatus is stored in a memory for each telephone number of a communication destination in advance based on past communications. At a communication time, a receiver side is notified of an execution of the short protocol by a QTSD signal, and sequentially a QINFO signal that includes the modem parameter is transmitted. Since the modem parameter is received by the communication destination, the pre-protocols such as exchange of parameter, etc., are shortened so that communication time can be shortened. Moreover, since the transmission of modem parameter is repeated until it is confirmed that the communication destination receives the modem parameter, occurrence of communication errors can be avoided so that the shortened pre-protocols can be surely executed.
