Abstract: On a substrate (200), a resistor (24R) is disposed between a position of an amplifier circuit (11) and a position of a duplexer (24), thereby reducing coupling occurring in a space between the amplifier circuit (11) and a path extending from a main switch (26) to a reception terminal (P24) through the duplexer (24). Even when an RX terminal (242) of the duplexer (24) is oriented toward an amplifier circuit (11) side, a high-frequency module (100) reduces the coupling and can thus prevent a harmonic of a transmission signal in a low band from leaking to the reception terminal (P24) through a path formed by the coupling. That is, the high-frequency module (100) can prevent a reduction in isolation characteristics in the low band and a high band and also provide flexibility in substrate layout.

Abstract: A data communication apparatus has a transmission function (transfer function or the like) of transmitting data to a pre-set transmission destination. A data communication apparatus (MFP), when importing at least one of an address book and setting information based on import data including data that has been exported by another MFP, determines data to be imported. The MFP determines, with respect to each of the address book and the setting information, the address book or the setting information is actually to be imported. Furthermore, if it is determined that either one of the address book and the setting information is to be imported, but the other one is not to be imported, the use of the transmission function is restricted after import processing has been performed based on the import data.

Abstract: An image processing system which makes it possible to prevent an erroneous operation from being performed by an improper user. A console section of an MFP receives an operation from a user. A scanner reads an original to generate image data. A modem transmits the image data. A network interface receives an instruction for a reading and transmitting process for causing the scanner to read an original and then causing the modem to transmit image data generated by the scanner. When the instruction for the reading and transmitting process is received, a controller determines, based on a state of operation of the console section, whether or not the reading and transmitting process can be accepted. When acceptance of the reading and transmitting process is permitted as a result of the determination, the controller controls the scanner and the modem to perform the reading and transmitting process.

Abstract: A printing apparatus enabling prevention of unauthorized access from an external apparatus. The printing apparatus receives print data from an external apparatus through wireless communication, and determines whether or not the received print data has authentication information added thereto. When it is determined that the print data has authentication information added thereto, the image data is printed depending on reception of the authentication information from a user. Further, it is determined whether or not the level of security of an encryption method employed in the wireless communication is lower than a predetermined security level. When the print data does not have authentication information added thereto and when the level of security is lower than the predetermined security level, the printing apparatus restricts printing based on the received print data.
