Abstract: In an image formation apparatus that prints out print data to a sheet, a print data storage unit stores the print data, a printing unit conducts print processing to the print data stored in the print data storage unit, a password acquisition unit acquires a password for the print data from an outside of the apparatus, and a printing control unit allows the printing unit to start the print processing of the print data under condition that the password acquisition unit acquires the password for the print data.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus is provided with a storage unit for storing setting information including at least a size of a substitute recording medium, and a processing unit for executing a print instruction by automatically changing a size of a recording medium to be used to the size of the substitute recording medium based on the setting information stored in the storage means, when the size of the recording medium specified by the print instruction is not available.

Abstract: A telematic terminal produces a mixed mode document in which characters and figures are mixedly arranged on the same page thereof, and transmits them to another communication apparatus. The characters can be written down on the mixed mode document when the telematic terminal is set at a first mode, while the figures can be written down on the mixed mode document when the telematic terminal is set at a second mode. Since the telematic terminal is set at a first mode, it is not necessary for the operator who attempts to input the characters to initially set the telematic terminal at the first mode.

Abstract: A mixed mode telecommunication terminal comprises a character input unit for inputting characters, an image scanner for converting an input image into first image data, a modification data inputting unit for inputting modification data indicating modification of character data that are inputted by the character input unit, a character data conversion unit supplied with the modification data and the character data for converting the character data into second image data, a document editor supplied for producing a first mixed mode document wherein the character data, the first image data and modified character data are assembled into a desired arrangement, the document editing means further producing layout data that specifies the desired layout in the first mixed mode document; a document synthesis part for assembling the character data, the first image data and the second image data into a second mixed mode document according to the layout data, and a transmission unit for transmitting the second mixed mode d

Abstract: A mixed-mode transmission control apparatus for transmitting a mixed-mode document data from a transmitting terminal to a reception terminal via a network. The apparatus includes a storage part in which at least a transmitting terminal identifying data and a page number denoting each page of the mixed-mode document data are stored, a generating part for generating an identification block into which at least the terminal identifying data and the page number are transferred from the storage part, an editing part for editing the mixed-mode document data before transmission so as to add the identification block thereto, and a control part for transmitting the mixed-mode document data, to which the identification block is added, to the reception terminal by performing a predetermined data transmission procedure.

Abstract: A document processing system which is capable of forming an open document architecture (ODA) document and processing document information related to the ODA document, where each page of the ODA document is made up of one or a plurality of blocks in which character information, raster information or geometric information is arranged. The document processing system includes a first part for generating a raster block when a predetermined character modification function is used to modify a character which is to be displayed by superimposing a predetermined pattern on the character, where the raster block includes block position information corresponding to a display range of the predetermined pattern and raster data for displaying the predetermined pattern as a text unit, and a second part for adding the raster block generated by the first means to the document information.
