Abstract: Inspection data 30 can be inspected by comparing reference data and the decrypted inspection data 30 (ST304) and, for example, after the inspection, individual data are encrypted according to their respective levels of secrecy (ST306) and are stored in flash ROMs 5, 6 and 7 (ST306), so that data of high level of secrecy can be prevented from being leaked out and data can be efficiently protected and stored. In addition, there is a case where when the protection level increases, the processing speed required for encryption increases, causing an increase in cost, but since the inspection data 30 is encrypted and stored according to its level of secrecy (ST305), cost reduction can be promoted compared to the case where all data are set to protection level 3. Accordingly, it is possible to provide a data inspection apparatus, a data inspection method and a data inspection program all of which are capable of preventing leak of information.

Abstract: An ink jet printer for forming an ink jet printed long strip of cloth includes a design image generation unit, a receiving unit, a generating unit and a synthesizing unit. The design image generation unit generates design image data representing a design image repeatedly using a basic pattern. The receiving unit receives first designation data regarding a logotype mark, while the generating unit repeatedly generates logotype mark image data representing the logotype mark repeatedly using a logotype pattern independently from the repeated using of the basic pattern, in accordance with the first designation data received by the receiving unit.

Abstract: An intermediate guide member is provided attachable and removable between a head portion and a supporting frame of a stocker for printing plates. A number of intermediate guide members is an element to set a time of starting downward movement of hooks supporting a leading end of a printing plate. Three conditions in accordance with lengths of non-detection times are set for detecting the printing plate to judge authenticity of the detection. When the hooks reach vicinities of stoppers provided at supporting bars of a reversal unit, the hooks swing, are pulled-in from above the slope, and transfer the printing plate to the stoppers. Thereafter, by rotating the supporting bars and the stoppers integrally around a shaft, the printing plate is pivoted over toward a back plate, and a lower end of the printing plate is transferred from the stoppers to a receiving plate without damaging the printing plate.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a system for verifying data recorded on an information recording medium. The system includes a data reproduction unit for reproducing data recorded on an information recording medium, a reproduction-verification-data generation unit for executing a calculation based on the data reproduced by the data reproduction unit to generate reproduction verification data, and a data comparison unit for comparing the reproduction verification data with recording verification data, which is obtained by executing a calculation based on data to be recorded on the information recording medium.

Abstract: When an magnified and synthesized image is finally printed on a printing medium based on an original image and a character font data, linear magnifying processing is executed with the aid of a software on the host computer side for the original image optically read by a scanner. In addition, vector magnifying processing is executed for font data likewise with the aid of a software, and moreover, synthesizing processing is executed for the font data. At this time, forming processing such as edge emphasizing or the like can be executed after completion of the vector magnifying processing. Synthesizing data are additionally magnified in a printer with the aid of a hardware, and subsequently, the magnified and synthesized image is outputted to the printer for performing a printing operation by the latter. An magnifying rate applicable to the host computer and the printer can be determined such that productivity of the image forming system is maximized.

Abstract: Disclosed is an information distribution system capable of distributing high quality data without lowering throughput of a network even in a communication area where many movable bodies could be traveling.

Abstract: Replacement of a recording head on a recording apparatus is detected on the basis of a serial number allocated to each recording head. The recording head also carries head characteristic information such as color information, shading information and so forth. When the recording head is replaced with a new one, the head characteristic information of the newly mounted recording head is automatically stored, so that head driving conditions are automatically determined to optimize the recording conditions without requiring any manual adjustment. Recovery operation is automatically executed when replacement of the recording head is detected, so that required recording conditions are recovered without manual instructions.
