Abstract: In a multi-function input/output device, an optical reading unit optically reads an optically readable code from a device control setting medium on which device control setting information, including use authentication information and unit-control-setting information for a document input control setting unit, a document-data-processing control setting unit, and a document-data-output control setting unit, is recorded. The device control setting information including the use authentication information is recognized from the code read by the optical reading unit. A user authentication unit authenticates the user by using a use authentication code of the use authentication information. A setting processing unit sets the unit-control-setting information based on a recognition result of the device control setting information and the use authentication information.

Abstract: When sending an electronic file to a receiver, the file is first transmitted to a predetermined location. Then, an electronic mail is created and sent to the receiver. This electronic mail contains information that makes it possible for the receiver to download the file from the location. Finally, the electronic mail is sent to the receiver without attaching the file.

Abstract: With DC constant current applied to an end of one of transparent electrodes by a constant current application terminal, a voltage is measured at an end of a transparent electrode adjacent to the foregoing electrode by a voltage detection terminal, while a common electrode is earthed by applying a brush earth terminal thereto in the vicinity of the foregoing transparent electrode. If the transparent electrode is broken, the DC constant current application circuit detects a voltage saturation state, whereas if the transparent electrode is short-circuited, the DC voltage detection circuit detects variation in the foregoing voltage. A short-circuiting/wire breakage memory circuit stores the detected irregularity of the voltage as defect information, and either wire breakage or short-circuiting is detected on the basis of the defect information.
