  • Publication number: 20110216329
    Abstract: A receiver image processing apparatus capable of easily performing post-processing in line with a print setting. The receiver image processing apparatus includes a printing unit able to print image data on a plurality of types of sheets of different sizes. When an incoming call arrives from a sender image processing apparatus, a determination unit of the apparatus determines whether a setting to perform post-processing on sheets by a post-processing unit has been made by a setting unit. If it is determined that the setting to perform post-processing has been made, a notification unit of the receiver image processing apparatus notifies size information representing a sheet size belonging to a predetermined series, as ability information of the apparatus, to the sender image processing apparatus.

  • Publication number: 20080259385
    Abstract: A communication apparatus which is capable of preventing transmitted data from being illegally viewed or tampered with. Image information to be transmitted is input via an operating display section. A system controller determines whether or not confidential transmission of the input image information has been designated by the user. When it is determined that confidential transmission of the input image information has been designated, a network controller encrypts the input image information using IPsec and transmits the encrypted image information, whereas when it is determined that the confidential transmission of the input image information is not designated, the network controller transmits the input image information without encrypting the same.
