Abstract: A print device according to the present disclosure having a print part for a print operation an image of a print data on a medium includes a memory part configured to memorize a unit price of the medium, and an analysis part configured to analyze whether or not a medium cost determined from the unit price of the medium memorized in the memory part exceeds a predetermined cost, and to create preview data of a print result when the medium cost determined from the unit price of the medium exceeds the predetermined cost.

Abstract: An image formation apparatus includes a toner cartridge, a toner-amount detector configured to detect a toner amount in the toner cartridge, a display unit, and an analyzer. The analyzer is configured to make the display unit display a used condition of the image formation apparatus when the image formation apparatus is in a small-amount mode where the toner amount is smaller than a threshold.

Abstract: An electric device is capable of transmitting and receiving data relative to an external device. The electric device includes an error detection unit for detecting an error occurred in the electric device; an error restoration command holding unit for holding an error restoration command to restore the error; and an error analyzing unit for analyzing the error occurred in the electric device and retrieving the error restoration command from the error restoration command holding unit according to an analysis result of the error. In the electric device, when the error detection unit detects the error, the error restoration command is retrieved from the error restoration command holding unit according to an analysis result analyzed with the error analyzing unit.

Abstract: The objective of the present invention is to provide an image forming apparatus that can print material by which specific information is not revealed without prohibiting printing, even where the printing data contains information that causes problems by printing specific information. By detecting information to be restricted in the printing data and restricting the image formation of the detected information, the image forming apparatus of the present invention can form the image in which the image of the information is not formed. Accordingly, the present invention provides an image forming apparatus that can print material by which specific information is not revealed without prohibiting printing, even where the printing data contains specific information.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus receives printing data including image drawing data and job information specifying a name of an application program used to generate the image drawing data. The apparatus includes: a data analyzer which determines whether the image drawing data were generated by the application program; a data quantity assessor which analyzes the image drawing data to determine a quantity of data to be printed; and an image forming unit which forms an image by a first process if the image drawing data were not generated by the application program or the quantity of data to be printed does not exceed a predetermined threshold, and forms an image by a second process if the image drawing data were generated by the application program and the quantity of data to be printed exceeds the predetermined threshold.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus in which multiple image forming units for forming a developer image arranged along a prescribed medium feeding path are disposed in a manner to contact and face a belt component, the image forming apparatus includes an image formation driving unit for driving said multiple image forming units; a belt component driving unit for driving said belt component; and a drive control unit for supplying a drive command to said belt component driving unit and said image formation driving unit, said drive control unit sequentially initiating the driving of said image forming units from said image forming unit located downstream in the medium feeding path, after initiating the driving of said belt component drive unit.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus modifies received drawing data so as to reduce usage of an image forming agent such as toner or ink, then generates bit-mapped data from the modified drawing data and forms an image from the bit-mapped data. The modification may be made as a gray-scale correction similar to the gray-scale correction normally used to compensate for dot gain. The image forming apparatus analyzes the received data to determine the name of the application program or other processing means that generated the data, and performs the modification only if the data were generated by particular processing means, such as an application program that generates slides for an overhead projector. This scheme enables appropriate modifications to be made, even if the drawing data have already been modified by the processing means, and enables unnecessary modifications to be avoided.
