Publication number: 20090210927Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 13, 2009Publication date: August 20, 2009Applicant: Seiko Epson CorporationInventors: Senichi Mokuya, Taro Ishige

Patent number: 7528982Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: August 20, 2004Date of Patent: May 5, 2009Assignee: Seiko Epson CorporationInventors: Senichi Mokuya, Toru Takahashi
