  • Publication number: 20100296123
    Abstract: It is determined whether the service mode is turned off. When it is determined that the service mode is turned off, the remote access job history is checked. A CPU then determines whether there is an unexecuted job. When determining that there is an unexecuted job, the CPU inquires of the PC providing an instruction to execute the job whether to re-execute the job. The CPU then determines whether an instruction to re-execute the unexecuted job has been accepted. When determining that an instruction to re-execute the unexecuted job has been accepted, the CPU re-executes the unexecuted job.

  • Publication number: 20090158422
    Abstract: The present invention is an image forming device capable of executing an authentication print printing. The image forming device includes: an authentication print detecting unit which detects whether to execute a job as the authentication print printing by referencing predetermined data; an authentication unit; a user authentication unit which outputs the result of the user authentication; a job executing unit; a user interface; and a user interface input mode switching unit which switches an information input/output mode of the user interface, wherein, an instruction to execute a first process can be received, and wherein the first process includes processes in which: the execution of the authentication print printing starts based on the result of the user authentication output by the user authentication unit; and the result of the user authentication is invoked so that the information input/output mode of the user interface is switched to a login mode.

  • Publication number: 20080184236
    Abstract: An image processing system including: storage; image processing devices; and job divider dividing an unprocessed job into partial jobs and store them into storage. Each image processing device includes: a first judging part to judge whether partial job stored in the storage can be processed by own device; a transmitter to, if the judgment result is positive, transmit and store first information indicating condition for processing the partial job, to the storage; an obtaining part to obtain second information indicating condition with which another image processing device processes the partial job, from the storage; a second judging part to judge whether own device should process the partial job, in accordance with standard common to the image processing devices, referring to first and second information; and job processor to process the partial job if second judging part judges positively.

  • Publication number: 20080184235
    Abstract: Each of a plurality of image processing devices (MFPs) included in an image processing system which includes a storage as well. (1) When the user requests processing a job, (2) the job data is stored in the storage. (3) Each MFP confirms that there is an unprocessed job to be executed, and (4) judges whether the own device can process the job. (5) MFPs that have judged that the own device can process the job stores information of the own device into the storage, and (6) check information stored by other MFPs. (7) One of the MFPs judges that the own device is the most suitable MFP, (11) obtains the job data, and (12) processes the job.

  • Publication number: 20050038919
    Abstract: An image forming apparatus accepts setting related to scanning of documents and setting of a destination of image-related information including thumbnail images, and stores image data obtained by scanning. Further, the image forming apparatus produces the image-related information including the thumbnail images from the image data, and sends it to a personal computer being the set destination. The personal computer displays the thumbnail images, and instruction of an output form of the image data is provided to the image forming apparatus by using the thumbnail image. The image forming apparatus outputs the stored image data in the output form instructed by the personal computer.

  • Patent number: 4891492
    Abstract: A tool support mechanism for a robot is adapted for carrying a tool, such as a welding torch. A series of shafts, pulleys and belts cooperate such that upon rotary input, a first arm rotates about a first end thereof with respect to a frame, a second arm rotatably connected at a first end thereof to a second end of the first arm translates but does not rotate with respect to the frame, and a tool support rotatably connected to a second end of the second arm translates but does not rotate with respect to the first arm. The mechanism thus allows a tool to be rotated about an axis spaced from the axis of rotary input.
