  • Patent number: 12086664
    Abstract: In a printing device, on a first condition including that a printer job language (PJL) command is received via the first communication interface that is a LAN interface, a computer performs prohibiting execution of the PJL command when the PJL command is classified into a first command type, and executing the PJL command when the PJL command is classified into a second command type different from the first command type. On a second condition including that the PJL command is received via the second communication interface different from the LAN interface, the computer performs executing the PJL command regardless of whether the PJL command is classified into the first command type or the second command type.

  • Publication number: 20230133742
    Abstract: An image transmission apparatus includes a plurality of keys, a scanner, a display, a memory, and a controller. The plurality of keys includes a plurality of numeric keys and a first specific key. The memory is capable of storing a plurality of telephone numbers associated with respective ones of the plurality of numeric keys. The controller controls the display to display a telephone number inputted via the plurality of numeric keys, and transmits the image data generated by the scanner to a transmission destination indicated by the displayed telephone number. In a case that operation of the first specific key is received and operation of one of the plurality of numeric keys, as an operated numeric key, is received, the controller reads a telephone number associated with the operated numeric key from the memory, and transmits the image data to a transmission destination indicated by the read telephone number.

  • Patent number: 11528766
    Abstract: A controller of an electronic device starts a setup procedure according to a first method. In the setup procedure according to the first method, the controller notifies a start of the setup and attempts to obtain connection information from an external device. When the connection information is obtained, the controller stores the connection information and attempts to connect to an access point using the connection information. When the connection information is not obtained in the setup procedure according to the first method, the controller starts a setup procedure according to a second method to display a message requesting input of the connection information, obtain the connection information through an input interface, and attempt to connect to the access point of the wireless network using the obtained.

  • Patent number: 10958805
    Abstract: In an image reading apparatus, in a case where the processor determines that the original image to be obtained represents a book document, the processor determines whether a value satisfies a prescribed condition. The value is based on a difference between a first density distribution of an image in a first partial region of the entire image and a second density distribution of an image in a second partial region of the entire image. The first partial region includes a part of a dark region. The dark region extends in an extending direction. The first partial region extends in a crossing direction crossing the extending direction. The second partial region includes another part of the dark region and extends in the crossing direction. In a case where the value satisfies the prescribed condition, the processor controls the reading device to interrupt reading the entire image.

  • Patent number: 5276624
    Abstract: In a turning control apparatus for a vehicle, a torque calculation unit calculates a target lateral acceleration of the vehicle according to detection signals from a steering angle sensor for detecting the direction of a steering wheel and a vehicle speed sensor for detecting the speed of the vehicle. It then sets target driving torque of the engine according to the target lateral acceleration. An electronic control unit controls the operation of a torque control device for reducing driving of the engine so that the driving torque of the engine is a target driving torque independent of manipulation by the driver. This thereby rapidly estimates lateral acceleration applied to the vehicle during turning and prevents control delay to enable stable and positive traveling through a curved road.
