Abstract: Systems for providing efficient manufacturing of paper, sheet, and/or box products of varying size and structure, often with pre-applied print (“pre-print”), are provided herein. One or more controllers can be used to aggregate orders and information to prepare one or more control plans (e.g., reel maps, reel plans, etc.) for processing a roll of web product through the manufacturing process. The control plan may include a set of instructions for operating one or more systems within the manufacturing process to form the desired finished paper-based product. In such a regard, efficient manufacturing of various paper-based products, including corrugated boxes, folded carton, labels, flexible paper, industrial bags, plates, cups, décor, and many others, can be achieved. Further, efficient customer ordering/tracking, job aggregation, print imposition, corrugator planning, and tracking and adjustments throughout the manufacturing process are contemplated.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus records identification information of an external memory and identification information of a scan job as a log when the external memory is attached to start the scan job. When the external memory is removed in the middle of the scan job, scan data is temporarily saved together with the identification information of the job. When the removed external memory is attached, for example, in a ready state, log data is referred to determine whether the external memory is that removed in the middle of the job and whether the scan data associated with the external memory is saved. When it is determined that the scan data is saved, the scan data is saved in the external memory.

Abstract: According to aspects of the present disclosure, in a memory of an MFP, information indicating that an additional function, which is inactivated when shipped from a factory, is activated or inactivated is stored. The MFP starts a trial mode in which trial of the additional function is activated, then the additional function becomes activated within an effective period of the trial mode. The MFP is configured to receive an input of setting information used for the additional function, store the input setting information in the memory and execute a process of the additional function in accordance with the setting information. Further, when the trial mode is terminated, the MFP initializes the setting information in a case where the stored information indicates that the additional function is inactivated, but does not initialize the setting information in a case where the stored information indicates that the additional function is activated.

Abstract: A correspondence relationship between user information and document data is stored as document management information. A user who has accessed an information processing device via a network is classified as a remote access user. In deletion of the document management information of the user classified as the remote access user together with the user information thereof, the document management information will remain stored if the to-be-deleted user information belongs to the user.

Abstract: Provided is an image processing apparatus that draws a cross-section to be trimmed. The data position acquisition unit acquires the print data and the position of the cut line trimmed after printing with the print data. The cross-section drawing unit draws, for each page of the print data, a fragment text and/or image visible on trimmed cross-section from the position of the cut line acquired by the data position acquisition unit to a specific range. At this time, the cross-section drawing unit may draw the fragment when the print data has equal or greater than a specific number of pages. Further, the cross-section drawing unit may adjust drawing of the fragment according to thickness of recording paper to be printed.

Abstract: According to aspects illustrated herein, methods and systems for direct and automatically transferring a scanned document from a multi-function device to a personal device of the user, are disclosed. The method includes receiving a document for scanning. The received document is scanned to generate a scanned document. Upon completion of the scanning, a pre-defined code corresponding to the scanned document is generated. The pre-defined code is displayed to a user on a user interface of the multi-function device. Then, a request to scan the displayed pre-defined code is received via the personal device of the user. Upon successful scanning, the scanned document is automatically downloaded on the personal device of the user after appropriate authorization.

Abstract: In a scanning system including a web application cooperating with a message sharing system and an image processing apparatus provided with a scanner, the web application holds card information acquired from a scanning request source and a destination of scan data in association with each other in response to a scanning request from a user account belonging to the message sharing system. An image processing apparatus transmits the scan data generated based on scanning and the card information that has been read to the web application. The web application specifies a destination associated with the card information that has been received from the image processing apparatus and posts the scan data that have been transmitted from the image processor to the message sharing system.

Abstract: A sheet conveyance device has a sheet conveyance path with a first path and a second path. A wireless tag communication device can write information to a wireless tag on a sheet on the first and second paths and receive responses from the wireless tag. A controller controls the wireless tag communication device to attempt to write information to the wireless tag while on the first path, then determines whether information has been written to the wireless tag on the first path according to a response received from the wireless tag. The controller switches a conveyance destination for the sheet to the second path if the information has not been written or to a discharge location if the information has been written. The controller then controls the wireless tag communication device to attempt to write information to the wireless tag while the sheet is on the second path.
