The processor within the printer receives and processes the UP3I pre- and post-processor commands received via the IPDS communications link and generates commands on a separate communications channel according to the Universal Printer Pre- and Post-Processing Interface (UP3I) for transmission to the pre- and post-processors. Status reported by the pre- and post-processors according to the UP3I™ specification are received by the printer and transmitted to the host computer.

Abstract: With this invention, upon scanning a print, since additional information recorded together with that print is reproduced while displaying the scanned image, a special effect that cannot normally be obtained from still images can be obtained. A print on which image information and additional information, different from the image information, are printed is scanned by a scanner (209). An additional information demultiplexer (210) demultiplexes that additional information, which is decoded by an error correction decoder (211). After that, the image and the decoded additional information (moving image or/and acoustic information) are simultaneously reproduced in combination.

Abstract: Transmitting and receiving methods of an Internet facsimile system are disclosed. The Internet facsimile system includes a telephone network, a transmitting network, a server and an office machine. The server has therein a network interface and a memory unit. The office machine includes a data storage means and network interface. The office machine transmits a fax through the telephone network and establishes a connection with the server through the transmitting network. The storage means has a memory capacity much less than that of the memory unit. Therefore, the transmitting and receiving methods of an Internet facsimile system capitalize on the tremendous memory capacity provided by the server as an intermediate storage such that the memory shortage of the office machine is avoided.

Abstract: A document processing system where system software interfaces with transport hardware is provided. A medium stores the system software which includes an API for application software. The system software further includes instructions for a track control module and an exception handler. The track control module creates an object for each read document. The object reports document completion to the application software. The application software requires that document completions be reported in the same order in which the objects were created. When a document jam occurs, the track control module identifies all documents involved in the jam, and for each document involved in the jam the track control module checks if all operations are complete and if the document entered the correct pocket, and sets a flag if both events are true. The exception handler hides the documents involved in the jam that have a set flag, but displays the others.
