  • Patent number: 9678695
    Abstract: A printing management system includes an image forming apparatus and a server apparatus. The image forming apparatus includes an acceptance section, a printing section, a reading section, a first transmission section, a first reception section, and a determination section. The determination section, when the acceptance section accepts a print request or a read request, determines whether or not template paper is to be printed, on the basis of the total number of printed copies and the total number of read copies received by the first reception section. The server apparatus includes a second reception section, a storage section, a counting section, and a second transmission section. The counting section obtains the total number of printed copies on the basis of the number of printed copies and user identification information, obtains the total number of read copies on the basis of the number of read copies and the user identification information.

  • Patent number: 9026588
    Abstract: A storage device including a software development kit that includes a Web service interface includes a communication unit, a conversion table, a reverse conversion unit, and a conversion unit. The communication unit transmits a request message to a Web service and receives a response message from the Web service. The conversion table stores a pre-conversion side service method name of the Web service that is corresponded with a post-conversion side service method name. The reverse conversion unit, when data regarding the request message includes the post-conversion side service method name stored in the conversion table, converts the post-conversion side service method name into the corresponding pre-conversion side service method name. The conversion unit, when data regarding the response message includes the pre-conversion side service method name stored in the conversion table, converts the pre-conversion side service method name into the corresponding post-conversion side service method name.

  • Patent number: 7904016
    Abstract: When an original document is placed on the lift tray, a timer is reset and starts counting a predetermined time. Whether an alignment device is moved to adjust the original documents loaded on the lift tray in, for example, the widthwise direction transverse to the transportation direction is then determined. If a change in the detected width of the original documents is detected, the timer is reset and started again. If there is no change in the detected width of the original documents, a control waits for the timer to time out. If the timer reaches the predetermined time, the lift tray is driven up by the lift motor and rises until the top limit sensor turns on.

  • Publication number: 20080260442
    Abstract: When an original document is placed on the lift tray, a timer is reset and starts counting a predetermined time (S12). Whether an alignment device is moved to adjust the original documents loaded on the lift tray in, for example, the widthwise direction transverse to the transportation direction is then determined (S13). If a change in the detected width of the original documents is detected (S13 returns Yes), control returns to S12 and the timer is reset and started again (S12). If there is no change in the detected width of the original documents in S13, control waits for the timer set in S12 to time out (S14). If the timer reaches the predetermined time set in S12 (S15 returns Yes), the lift tray is driven up by the lift motor (S16) and rises until the top limit sensor turns on (S17).

  • Patent number: 7418232
    Abstract: The ADF 11 is a device for feeding an original document toward an original document scanning position R, comprising an original document loading unit 31, paper feeding roller 51, pressure sensor 33 and lift plate drive unit 35. The original document loading unit 31 comprises a lift plate 41 allowing an original document to be loaded and vertically movable in an original document loading direction. The paper feeding roller 51 is disposed above the lift plate 41 disposed at the lowermost position with an interval therebetween, and is capable of moving upwardly in coordination with a force received from below from the lift plate 41. The pressure sensor 33 is capable of detecting upward pressure on the paper feeding roller 51. The lift plate drive unit 35 causes the lift plate 41 to be lowered upon detection of upward pressure on the paper feeding roller 51.
