Abstract: A job processing apparatus that can communicate with a security server configured to manage an access right to data, executes a job for inputting data, stores data resulting from execution of the job, determines whether an access right to the stored data is managed by the security server, and automatically sets information for enabling the security server to manage an access right to the data when no access right to the stored data is managed by the security server.

Abstract: In an image processing system which is configured by providing an image processing device for executing an image process to input image data and a server device, the image processing device comprises a storage unit to store audit data including the input image data and history information generated in association with execution of the image process to the image data, and the server device acquires the audit data stored in the storage unit and stores the acquired audit data. Then, in the case where the image process is executed by the image processing device, the acquisition of the audit data by the acquisition unit is inhibited.

Abstract: In order to efficiently output image data having superior image quality in comparison with that of an image development process dependent on a single development process resource, PDL data based on a plurality of page description languages is received from an external host computer via a host I/F. A CPU determines whether the image information in the PDL data is color image information or monochrome image information. A first development process, which is most suitable for color image information, and a second development process, which is most suitable for monochrome image information, are performed in a parallel manner. The developed color image information and monochrome image information are merged in a frame memory and are output to a color copier.

Abstract: Disclosed is an image output system. The image output system comprises input unit for inputting image data, a memory for storing image data input by the input unit, output means for outputting image data stored in the memory, entry means for entering an output condition under which the output means outputs the image data, and an instruction to begin to output the image data, and control unit for controlling an output operation such that the image data is to be output by the output means upon entry of the output condition and the instruction at the entry unit.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus is connected to two copying machines and has independent frame memories, FIFOS, and I/Fs for the copying machines. Tasks for generating image data for the copying machines are independent and are executed in parallel. When a fault occurs in one copying machine, the memory area allocated to the copying machine is reduced, and the area is reallocated to the other copying machine. Even when image data are to be printed from a plurality of copying machines, and an error is generated in one copying machine, the remaining copying machines can print normally or more efficiently than in a normal state.

Abstract: An image processor includes a compressor which compresses input image information, with the compressed input image information being stored in a storage device. The image processor also includes a processor that processes the stored compressed image information, and a development unit which develops the processed compressed image data into individual pixels.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus which inputs PDL described print data from a host computer, interprets the print data to develop the data into bitmap image data, and transfers the bitmap image data to a serial printer. Upon transferring the bitmap image data, the apparatus determines whether or not image data corresponding to one scanning by a print head of the printer, i.e., one band, includes image data having a value "1" according to a dot to be printed. If the image data includes no "1" data, i.e., all data values are "0", the apparatus controls the printer to omit scanning by the print head at the band corresponding to the image data including no "1" data and feed the recording sheet for the band.
