  • Publication number: 20080030523
    Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes a system control unit, and a display control unit. The system control unit judges whether a setting item that is newly selected on a preview image is mutually exclusive with a setting item that has already been selected on the preview image. The display control unit displays, when the setting items are mutually exclusive with each other, an area corresponding to the setting item newly selected differently from other areas. The display control unit also displays, when the area is selected, why the setting item newly selected cannot be set.

  • Publication number: 20070139707
    Abstract: An analyzing unit analyzes components of input information. An area generating unit generates information on an area-representing image. A preview generating unit generates information on a preview in which the area-representing images are overlapped for each page. An operation display unit displays the information on the preview and information on a function to be performed, and accepts an instruction for setting the function. Upon accepting the instruction for the function, the preview generating unit further generates information on a preview with a processing according to the instruction performed.

  • Publication number: 20070140723
    Abstract: Sample image data are stored beforehand in a storage unit. A first generation unit generates temporary finishing information by making setting processing on the sample image data based on setting information, and a second generation unit generates input screen information including setting processing items to accept various setting inputs to the temporary finishing information. A display unit displays an input screen based on the temporary finishing information and the input screen information, and a setting output unit outputs setting information received via the input screen to the first generation unit. Finally, a copying processing unit executes copying processing with respect to the real image data based on the temporary finishing information.
