Abstract: In a copying operation, an MFP reads a code image printed on the paper, acquires a paper ID from the code image, acquires paper information associated with the paper ID, specifies an electronic document as a print source, and acquires the specified electronic document. The MFP prints a paper ID on the paper with the code image and the acquired electronic document, and stores paper information including a paper ID of a copy source in association with the paper ID. When a first MFP leaves an image processing system, respective information concerning electronic document acquisition managed by the first MFP is transferred to a second MFP.

Abstract: In printing an electronic document on a paper, an MFP prints a code image created by encoding a paper ID including a local ID issued to the paper and stores paper information with the paper ID. The MFP determines a type of data format, creates a paper ID in the data format, and prints a code image created by encoding the paper ID. In copying a printed paper, the MFP decodes the code image printed on the paper to acquire the paper ID and retrieves paper information associated with the paper ID according to the data format. The MFP specifies the electronic document as a print source from retrieved paper information and performs printing using the electronic document.

Abstract: A document processing system is disclosed that is capable of processing both fixed-format and unfixed-format hand written paper documents. The document processing system includes an encoding unit that encodes a sheet ID for identifying a hand written first document on a sheet to generate a coded sheet ID; a decoding unit that decodes the coded sheet ID; a document-sheet ID association unit that associates the sheet ID with a document ID assigned to a computerized second document; a printing unit that acquires the sheet ID and prints the coded sheet ID on the first document; a sheet ID management unit that manages the sheet ID; an information acquisition unit that acquires the sheet ID decoded by the decoding unit, and hand-written data from the first document on which the coded sheet ID is printed; and a process-sheet ID association unit that associates the sheet ID with a process ID of a process for processing the hand-written data acquired by the information acquisition unit.

Abstract: In a printing operation, a first MFP prints a code image of a paper ID, and stores paper information including information specifying an electronic document as a print source with the paper ID. In a copying operation in a second MFP, the second MFP acquires the paper ID from the code image and paper information through a network, specifies an electronic document using the paper information, and acquires the specified electronic document through the network. The second MFP prints the code image of the paper ID and the acquired electronic document, and stores paper information including the paper ID of a copy source with the paper ID.

Abstract: A controller combines a code image created by encoding a paper ID and an image representing an electronic document, causes a printing unit to print the code image on a paper, causes a code-image reading unit to read the code image printed on the paper by the printing unit, acquires the paper ID, and collates the paper ID before encoding and the decoded paper ID. When the paper IDs do not coincide with each other or when the paper ID cannot be acquired, the controller causes an NG recording unit to perform NG recording on the paper and causes a paper-conveying-path switching unit to switch a discharge destination of the paper to a garbage tray and discharge the paper.

Abstract: A print-information acquiring unit acquires print object information as an image and predetermined information to be encoded. A code-image creating unit encodes the predetermined information according to a predetermined encode rule to create a plurality of types of code images. A layer-image creating unit creates a plurality of types of layer images including the code images for each of the types. A combined-image creating unit superimposes the types of layer images according to a predetermined superimposition rule to create a combined image. A printing unit prints the combined image created by the combined-image creating unit on a recording medium.

Abstract: A data sheet is composed of an upper part and a lower part. The upper part is used as a user interface including a reduced image of contents of a document. The lower part is an interface for a reading device such as a copy machine, including a code obtained by encoding the document. By use of the data sheet, the user can easily distribute or carry an electronic document data with the user. In addition, the user can recognize contents of the electronic document data by looking at the reduced image printed on the data sheet.

Abstract: A memory has stored therein ISDN addresses of destination stations, as they constitute sets with heading addresses thereof different from each other, and is retrieved from a controller to detect a match between an ISDN address in a call request and a heading address of a corresponding set, and a total number of ISDN addresses are read from the corresponding set for controlling channel connection processors and S/T point interfaces to have a corresponding number of channels connected to a corresponding destination station in accordance with a necessary number of channels for a bulk transmission.

Abstract: An acoustic noise reduction apparatus for an office automation device is provided on a surface of an outer shield of the office automation device and has a hole therethrough. The body member of the apparatus defines an internal volume which covers the hole. A control member is operatively connected with the body member and divides the body member into a hollow portion, a duct portion, and a silencer portion. The hollow portion and the duct portion form a Helmholtz resonator within the body member.
