  • Patent number: 10911608
    Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes an image reading portion or an image forming portion, a detection processing portion, and an operation restricting portion. The image reading portion reads an image from a document sheet. The image forming portion forms an image on a sheet. The detection processing portion detects whether or not a speaker that is provided outside the image processing apparatus is in an output state. The operation restricting portion restricts an operation of the image processing apparatus when the detection processing portion detects that the speaker is in the output state.

  • Patent number: 10097705
    Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes a data input unit, an operation panel, a storage unit, and a control unit. The operation panel accepts a registration of a margin image and a setting of an emphasis region within the margin image. The storage unit stores data for emphasis including a registered margin image and positional data. The registered margin image is the margin image that has been registered, and the positional data indicates a position of the emphasis region in the registered margin image. When the control unit determines that the registered margin image is included in the page image data, the control unit performs an emphasis process on an image of a corresponding region whose position at the registered margin image included in the page image data is identical to a position of the emphasis region in the registered margin image included in the stored data for emphasis.

  • Publication number: 20180268743
    Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes an encryption processing unit, a storage unit, a decryption processing unit, a decryption processing unit, and an image output unit. The encryption processing unit encrypts non-compressed image data that is not compressed and indicates a raw image as a target of the forming to generate encrypted image data. The storage unit stores the generated encrypted image data. The decryption processing unit decrypts the stored encrypted image data to restore the non-compressed image data. The image output unit forms the print image on the print medium using the non-compressed image data to output a printed matter. The image forming apparatus regards and processes the encrypted image data as the non-compressed image data to generate encryption confirmation image data indicating an encryption confirmation image, so as to associate and then display the encryption confirmation image with the printed matter using the encryption confirmation image data.

  • Patent number: 9483351
    Abstract: A communication device includes: a first communication section, a second communication section, a storage section, a determination section, and a control section. The first communication section communicates with a storage device based on predefined interface communication standards to perform data transfer. The second communication section communicates with an external device in a method other than the interface communication standards to perform data transmission. The storage section stores the selected error code that is previously defined to cause a bit error by noise. The determination section determines whether or not an error code indicated by the error information agrees with the selected error code. The control section, upon determination by the determination section that the error codes agrees with each other, gives the first communication section and the second communication section instructions for cancelling the data transfer and performing data re-transfer.

  • Patent number: 9392131
    Abstract: For a duplex print job a display portion of the image forming apparatus shows a stack image of one or more papers. A top paper in the image appears to have a corner turned over revealing a portion of the back side of the top paper, and revealing a portion of a front side of a second paper in the stack. Within the stack image, the image portion of the front side of the top paper shows a print preview of a front side of a first sheet in the duplex print job. Image portions corresponding to the back side of the top paper and the front side of the second paper show, respectively, print preview of the back side of the first sheet and front side of a second sheet. The page images may be displayed at a glance for multiple pages in a two up fashion.
