  • Patent number: 7552324
    Abstract: A printer generates a public key with a passphrase containing at least printer position information and a random number by a public key cryptography, and holds this random number. A print client previously acquires the public key from the printer. When transmitting print data to the printer, the print client encrypts the print data in advance with the acquired public key and transmits the encrypted print data as print transmitting data. The printer which has received the print transmitting data generates a private key with a passphrase containing at least printer position information and the held random number by the public key cryptography. The printer then decrypts the received print transmitting data with the private key. Consequently, the security of the print data transmitted from the print client to the printer via a network is ensured.

  • Patent number: 7506159
    Abstract: A printer generates a public key dependent on printer position information and transmits it to a print client. The print client encrypts a common key with this public key and transmits it to the printer, and encrypts print data with this common key and transmits it to the printer. The printer generates a private key dependent on printer position information to decrypt the encrypted common key, and decrypts the print data with the common key. Consequently, the printer capable of restricting the place where a print operation can be executed can be provided.

  • Patent number: 7450259
    Abstract: The network printer 30 stores print logs generated after a previous log transmission timing into the log storage area 32b, and then sends the print logs stored in the log storage area 32b to the management server 10 at a next log transmission timing. The network printer 30 stores a log relating to a print job into the log storage area 32b on completion of the whole print job when the next job transmission timing does not come before completion of the print job, while storing a log relating to a print job into the log storage area 32b on completion of every one page included in the print job when the next job transmission timing comes before completion of the print job. This arrangement desirably ensures transmission of logs relating to all jobs generated before each transmission timing to the management server.

  • Patent number: 7438487
    Abstract: In printing onto a creased paper with a fold portion, a printing method of the invention performs a warning step (S203) that gives a warning about the need of smoothening out of the fold portion; and a printing step that starts printing after the warning is given in the warning step. The printing method further performs a reception step (S204, S206) that receives a confirmation instruction with respect to the warning given in the warning step, and the printing step does not start printing until the confirmation instruction is received in the reception step.
