  • Patent number: 9051876
    Abstract: A heat-shielding film formed on the wall surface of a metal base material contains a plurality of ceramic hollow particles (1) and metal phases (2) to which the plurality of ceramic hollow particles (1) are joined at points. Each of the plurality of ceramic particles (1) is joined at a point, through the metal phase (2), to another ceramic particle among the plurality of ceramic particles (1) so that the plurality of ceramic particles (1) are joined to each other. The plurality of ceramic hollow particles (1) of the heat-shielding film (10) and the wall surface are joined at points to the metal phases (2) so that the plurality of ceramic hollow particles (1) are joined to the wall surface.

  • Patent number: 8363239
    Abstract: This invention allows a user to immediately grasp the print status of a job only by inputting a print instruction of a job stored and held in an image forming apparatus. This invention also provides a user-friendly apparatus that notifies the user of a predicted time until completion of printing. For this purpose, the image forming apparatus of this invention has a touch panel formed on the display screen of the operation unit. A list of jobs registered in a Hold job list is displayed on the display screen. When the user selects at least one job and touches a “Test print” or “Print” button, the print job is registered in the print execution queue. Simultaneously, a list of unprinted print jobs registered in the print execution queue is automatically displayed.

  • Patent number: 8184309
    Abstract: This invention can cope with various user needs and use cases related to a holding function and can prevent any situation in which, for example, even when the holding function is disabled, an external device continuously inputs, to a printing apparatus, jobs which require use of the holding function. This invention also prevents the data of a job that requires use of the holding function from remaining in a memory when the holding function is disabled. This invention prevents data that will never be used from remaining in a storage area when the holding function is disabled. A printing system, according to the invention, enables a printing unit to execute a process of a job that requires use of the holding function of causing a storage unit to hold data of a job to be processed. The printing system includes a control unit which disables the holding function.

  • Publication number: 20070165248
    Abstract: This invention provides a printing apparatus and printing method capable of partially changing the print process conditions of a print job containing image data, and improving user friendliness. To accomplish this, a printing apparatus such as an MFP having a printing unit for printing based on a print job receives a print job containing image data of pages. When setting the print process conditions of the print job, the first print process conditions of the first page group of pages and the second print process conditions of the second page group of pages are set to different conditions. Image data of the first page group are printed under the first print process conditions, whereas image data of the second page group are printed under the second print process conditions.

  • Patent number: 7151900
    Abstract: An image forming device and control method thereof. The image forming device includes a printer engine control unit capable of detecting failure in transport of a sheet on which image data of a page is to be printed, a printer controller controlling output of image data from an output unit to a printer engine according to a first control mode wherein the image data of the page is re-outputted, and a second control mode wherein the image data of the page is not re-outputted, based upon settings in a job management table corresponding to the sheet. This enables suitable determination regarding whether or not the image data of the page corresponding to the jammed sheet should be re-outputted.
