Abstract: A method controls a tape processing apparatus which performs, on a tape to be sent from a tape inlet to a tape outlet along a tape travel passage through an embossing section, a series of tape processing operations of incoming-feed operation to feed the tape from the tape inlet to the embossing section, embossing operation in the embossing section, and of outgoing-feed operation to feed the tape from the embossing section to the tape outlet in an order as mentioned above, and which also indicates in an indicator that the apparatus is in the tape processing operations. The method indicates in the indicator a pre-embossing feed indication to indicate the incoming-feed operation and a post-embossing feed indication to indicate the outgoing-feed operation in an indicating mode which is different from an embossing indication to indicate that the apparatus is in the embossing operation.

Abstract: Before embossing raised letters on a target tape which is subjected to embossing of raised letters, written letters are printed based on inputted character information, and also an upside-and-downside identifying information for identifying the upside and the downside of the target tape as seen in the widthwise direction thereof is printed on the target tape. In the emboss-processing section, the upside and the downside of the target tape is detected based on the identifying information. If the target tape is found to have been inserted upside down, the raised letters are embossed in a state of turning the embossing data by 180 degrees.

Abstract: There is provided a maintenance system including a maintenance server that provides maintenance information and an image processing device that has at least one of copy, print, facsimile and scan functions and which, upon detection of a maintenance event upon which a maintenance process to be carried out with respect to the image processing device, accesses the maintenance server, acquires from the maintenance server maintenance information indicating a maintenance process corresponding to the detected maintenance event, and displays the acquired maintenance information on a display.

Abstract: An Internet facsimile relay unit includes an e-mail receiving section that receives an e-mail including an image and a command to transmit the image as a facsimile to a terminal station, a decryption section that decrypts an e-mail by performing a corresponding decryption processing if the e-mail has been encrypted using a public key cryptosystem, a judgment section that judges security on the basis of the state of the encryption processing on the e-mail or the decryption processing result by the decryption section, and a facsimile transmitting section that transmits as a facsimile to the terminal station at least the image that is included in the e-mail according to the command that is included in the e-mail if the judgment section has judged that security is high and transmits as a facsimile to the terminal station at least a judgment result from the judgment section if it was judged that security is low.

Abstract: An electronic mail sending and receiving apparatus includes a receiver which receives an electronic mail message, an inbound security processing unit which performs an inbound security processing on the received electronic mail message in accordance with a security requirement that the received electronic mail message satisfies, a transmitter which sends an electronic mail message, an outbound security processing unit which performs an outbound security processing on the electronic mail message to be sent, and a requesting unit.
