Abstract: When a plurality of authentication cards are read by an authentication device and the authentication cards are authenticated in an image output device, a binding and printing process is carried out. The image output device combines (binds) jobs associated with the authenticated cards into one job. The order of combining the jobs and the print mode for the combined job are set in accordance with the order in which the authentication cards have been authenticated or the priorities assigned to the respective jobs. The image output device prints the combined job to obtain a set of printouts. It is thus possible to provide the image output device which can output a plurality of jobs collectively, without the need of complicated operations, while maintaining a high level of security.

Abstract: A soft spray nozzle discharging a cleaning mist is vertically directed and fixed to an arm. A rinse nozzle discharging rinsing deionized water for suppressing obstruction is vertically fixed to the arm at a prescribed distance from the soft spray nozzle. During cleaning, it follows that both nozzles discharge detergents while keeping relative layout relation. Therefore, the discharged cleaning mist and rinsing deionized water do not interfere with each other before reaching the substrate but the used detergents are entirely horizontally splashed and recovered in a cup. Thus, the cleaning mist is prevented from scattering and adhering to the periphery.

Abstract: A substrate processing apparatus includes a container in which a heating plate, a discharge nozzle for discharging a vapor of organic solvent, and a discharge nozzle for supplying a process gas and a cooling gas are provided. A pump in communication with an exhaust outlet of the container exhausts an atmosphere from the container to reduce pressure in the container. Therefore, the substrate processing apparatus is capable of performing (1) the process of drying a substrate in a reduced-pressure atmosphere by the use of the vapor of organic solvent, and (2) the process of drying the substrate in the reduced-pressure atmosphere by heating, to thereby efficiently dry the substrate.
