Abstract: An image forming apparatus including a control unit configured to have: a confidential box function; a status managing function; an information displaying function; and an image forming function. The control unit is configured to control a file name of the print job to be displayed in the operation display unit in a masked state and in a mask released state to maintain confidentiality in print job history listings and print job status listings.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes an image forming unit that outputs an image to a transfer medium on the basis of a job and a control unit that controls the image forming unit. The control unit is capable of outputting all sheets and outputting designated sheets in outputting the job and, when outputting the designated sheets, changes output control content according to whether the designated sheets are output as sheets for replacement media.

Abstract: Disclosed is a processing apparatus, which makes it possible to make a cursor automatically move by employing a pointing device. The processing apparatus includes a control section and a processing section that implements processing under the controlling operations conducted by the control section.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes: an image forming unit configured to form an image on a sheet; a storage unit, configured to store a print job while managing a storage area in units of boxes; an operation display unit configured to display various kinds of information and receive various directions; and a control unit configured to control image formation performed by the image forming unit based on image data in units of print jobs, storage performed by the storage unit, and input and display performed by the operation display unit, wherein the control unit is configured to have: a confidential box function; a status managing function; an information displaying function; and an image forming function, and the control unit is configured to control a file name of the print job to be displayed in the operation display unit in a masked state and in a mask released state.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus comprises: a receiver which receives facsimile or print data file in a page description language, from an information processing apparatus; a spooler which stores the facsimile or print data file received therefrom, on the spooler itself; a converter which converts the facsimile or print data file stored on the spooler, to an image data format; a job generator which generates a job based on the obtained image data file; a facsimile transmitter; a printer; and a job controller which instructs the facsimile transmitter or the printer to perform facsimile transmission or printing according to the generated job, respectively. And the converter selects the facsimile or print data file among those stored on the spooler, based on the state of the printer and the state of the facsimile transmitter, before converting the facsimile or print data file to an image data format.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes an operation panel to preview an image page by page. The image forming apparatus stores a feature of an image of a page previewed on the operation panel and extracts a regularity from the stored feature of the image. When a feature of an image of a page previewed on the operation panel does not agree with the extracted regularity, the image forming apparatus displays a menu for correcting the feature that does not agree.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus performs specific processing on images read out of a document having pages as follows. Each of the pages is a member assigned to at least any one of groups. The apparatus determines a second security level of each group based on a first security level of each page of the corresponding group; before the specific processing on the N-th group, determines whether or not password entry is necessary based on the second security level of the N-th group and any of the second security levels of the first group through the (N?1)-th group; and performs the specific processing on the N-th group if it is determined that password entry is unnecessary for the N-th group, or, alternatively, if it is determined that password entry is necessary for the N-th group and if a password is appropriately entered.

Abstract: A job execution system includes a terminal apparatus and an image processing apparatus. The terminal apparatus includes an accepter that accepts a value set by a user for one or more than one setting item to execute a job by the image processing apparatus and a transmitter that transmits the job including the accepted value, to the image processing apparatus. In the image processing apparatus, a judger judges whether or not there exists a setting item for which the value “to be specified” is set in advance, among those included in the job received by a receiver, to execute the job. And if it judged that there exists, a job executor puts on hold execution of the job and a display portion displays a setting screen that allows a user to specify a value for the setting item for which the value “to be specified” is set in advance.
