  • Publication number: 20090210927
    Abstract: An authentication apparatus of the invention performs an authentication process based on authentication data input from a device used for data entry. The authentication apparatus receives device identification information for identifying the device and matches the received device identification information against authentication-authorized device identification information representing that the device is authorized to be used for authentication. In the case of failed matching of the received device identification information with the stored authentication-authorized device identification information, the authentication apparatus restricts the authentication process. This arrangement ensures the high security in an authenticated printing system including a printing apparatus connectable with at least one device used for entry of authentication data.

  • Patent number: 7528982
    Abstract: A printer is provided that stores raw data. Printing is performed with the material data merged together in accordance with a print instruction from a print instruction terminal. The material data is rendered in advance and then stored in a compressed form. However, part of the material data stored in the compressed form is decompressed to its original size and stored in a decompressed form. This allows a large amount of material data to be stored in a compressed form while also allowing the stored decompressed material data to be immediately used. As such, the time required to decompress frequently used material data is eliminated. This advances the printing start time to allow high-speed printing.

  • Patent number: 7376725
    Abstract: An access control system is provided which is suitable for inhibiting an increase in communication traffic, and preventing excessive process loads applied to certain terminals and certain devices. A printer management server notifies a server printer of timing information indicating access timing corresponding to a server printer with reference to a timing information registration table. A network printer receives timing information, and sends status information of a status information registration table for collection based on the received timing information when the network printer itself is the server printer.

  • Patent number: 7257626
    Abstract: Since an MIB file present in a network device and having the structure of MIB data is expressed in the ASN1 format, the MIB file is not flexibly modified by a user. A management-information database-structure definition file converter unit 22 converts MIB files 21a, 21b . . . having the MIB data structures of MIB databases 12a, 12b, . . . mounted on the network devices 10a, 10b, . . . into files in a tag-structured format. Specifically, the management-information database-structure definition file converter unit 22 converts MIB files 21a, 21b, . . . into MIB files 23a, 23b . . . in a tag-structured format (XML format). Using the MIB files 23a, 23b, . . . in the XML format, a network device management tool 24 manages the MIB databases 12a, 12b . . . of the respective network devices 10, 10b . . .
