Abstract: An information processing system includes a first device and a second device that allows a user to operate the first device via the second device. The information processing system includes a processor and a memory to store a plurality of instructions. When executed by the processor, the plurality of instructions cause the processor to store, in the memory, apparatus configuration image element information regarding one or more elements of an apparatus configuration image of the first device, structure the apparatus configuration image using the apparatus configuration image element information, the apparatus configuration image indicating a configuration of the first device, and in response to execution of an application program on the second device, control a display to display an image based on the apparatus configuration image.

Abstract: An image transmitting apparatus transmits an image of a document in which an information disclosure level is set. A transmission operation to a specified destination is performed when an information disclosure level set in the specified destination is higher than the information disclosure level set in a document to be transmitted.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes an image receiving unit configured to receive image data, a sender identifying unit configured to identify a sender of the received image data, a check unit configured to check whether the identified sender corresponds to a predetermined sender, a management information providing unit configured to provide management-purpose image data obtained by encoding management information for controlling at least one of a transmission operation for transmitting an image scanned from a printout and a copy operation for copying an image scanned from a printout, and a print unit configured to print the management-purpose image data together with the received image data in response to a check result by the check unit indicating that the identified sender corresponds to the predetermined sender.

Abstract: A print-mode storing unit presets print-mode setting information corresponding to print-mode determination information that is included in the document data, and stores the print-mode setting information preset. A mail receiving unit receives the electronic mail including the document data. A print control unit obtains, from the print-mode storing unit, the print-mode setting information corresponding to the print-mode determination information included in the document data received, and prints out the document data in a print mode based on the print-mode setting information obtained.

Abstract: In a communication method for data terminal equipment, which communication method includes a function of forming a communication link comprising a plurality of B channels by having a calling terminal and a called terminal execute, via an ISDN, a plurality of call connecting procedures, and of effecting a data transmission by simultaneously using the plurality of channels of the communication link thus formed,the number of times that the call connecting procedures are executed is adjusted in accordance with conditions that prevail during a communication, and a data transmission is effected in the communication link comprising a plurality of channels, the total number of which channels corresponds to the number of times that the call connecting procedures are executed.

Abstract: Data communication is started when a first B channel is established between a source terminal and a destination terminal. Immediately before or after the start of a data transmission phase, the destination terminal is called a second time so that a second B channel may be established. Immediately before or after the data transmission phase, the use of one of the B channels is terminated. Accordingly, time required for data communication can be reduced.

Abstract: A data terminal equipment which is coupled to an ISDN through an access line and uses a hierarchical protocol in conformity to an OSI reference standard model includes the following structural elements. A first data link protocol circuit provides a link access procedure balanced (LAPB) modulo-8 data link protocol. A second data link protocol circuit provides an LAPB modulo-128 data link protocol. A third data link protocol circuit provides a data link protocol based on a link access procedure for a data channel (LAPD). A protocol determining circuit determines a data link protocol to be used by referring to an address field and a control field of a cell set-up signal which is supplied from a second data terminal equipment. A data link protocol activating circuit selects and activates one of the first, second and third circuits on the basis of the result provided by the protocol determining circuit.
