Abstract: An imaging system includes a liquid discharge device, a heating device, and a cassette. In the imaging system, the cassette includes a holder to hold a recording medium and a storage device to store heating-area data indicating a heating area of the recording medium to be heated before an image is printed on the recording medium. Moreover, in the imaging system, the liquid discharge device includes a printing device to discharge liquid onto the recording medium held by the holder to print the image on the recording medium and a writing device to write liquid discharge region data to the storage device, the liquid discharge region data indicating a liquid discharge region of the recording medium onto which the liquid is discharged by the printing device. Further, in the imaging system, the heating device includes a heater to heat the heating area of the recording medium.

Abstract: A novel image processing apparatus that provides effective digitized audio while ensuring audio clarity and outputs image data adding the digitized audio is provided. The image processing apparatus includes an audio recording unit that stores audio data based on input audio in an audio storage device, a data editing unit that adds the audio data to image data, control circuitry that instructs the recording unit to record when a predetermined recording condition is satisfied, and a data output unit to output the image data in an appropriate format. For example, the control circuitry considers a condition that the scanner scans the document set on a platen as the recording condition.

Abstract: A determining unit determines which area in an SDRAM is the area in which image data is stored. According to the determination of the determining unit, a control unit activates a power-down mode only for an area in the SDRAM, the image data being stored in the area. In order to determine whether or not the data stored in the SDRAM is image data, a code is previously added to the relevant data. Whether or not the relevant data stored in the SDRAM is image data is determined by the determining unit using the added code. A minimum of only one bit does well as the code for determining whether or not the data stored in the SDRAM is image data. Instead of previously adding a code to relevant data, it is also possible, for the same purpose, to store a code in an internal register of the SDRAM, the code indicating contents of data stored in the SDRAM.
