Abstract: When an ID card including a user ID stored therein is set in an image processing apparatus, the user ID is read out of the IC card. Upon depression of a key instructing individual setting, ID information including the user ID and an apparatus ID is transmitted to a computer terminal which stores a plurality of user ID's and setting information corresponding to the apparatus. Responding to the ID information transmitted, the computer terminal transmits individual setting information stored therein for each user back to the image processing apparatus, whereupon the apparatus stores the individual setting information in a memory and realizes the individual setting for each user, which corresponds to the set user ID, in a control panel of the apparatus.

Personalizing information is acquired from a server via a network. On the basis of the acquired personalizing information, an image forming unit forms the image based on the print job.

Abstract: An image processing circuit of an image processor performs predetermined image processes on input image data from an external device. A data scrambling circuit scrambles the processed image data in accordance with input scrambling information from a controller of an image forming system. A data scrambling circuit of the image forming system receives the scrambled input data from the image processing apparatus. A printer forms an image on the basis of the received image data. Accordingly, without changing ROMs of the image processor, a scrambling function is arbitrarily changed by the image forming system.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus arranged to receive image information from a memory device for storing color image information and then to form an image on an image-forming medium. This apparatus allows an operator to specify the size and the layout of a color image to be formed on the image-forming medium while viewing a display provided on a monitor device. The apparatus can change the size of the color image information read from the memory device to the required magnification in accordance with a command given by the specifying element, thereby producing a printout. In this case, the operator can adjust the image quality of image information to be printed out while visually confirming the quality of the image displayed on the monitor device, whereby no proof printout is needed.
