Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes an image forming device, a heater, and a control circuit. The control circuit is configured to generate first energization data based on at least part of first raster image data representing a first image to be formed on a first page, and then compress the first raster image data into first compressed image data. The control circuit is also configured to generate second energization data based on at least part of second raster image data representing a second image to be formed on a second page, and then compress the second raster image data into second compressed image data. The control circuit is configured to further determine whether rotation of the second image by a predetermined degree will lower power consumption based on a comparison of the first energization data to the second energization data.

Abstract: A method for printing on a print medium includes acquiring print information regarding a target image to be applied to the print medium; acquiring position information from a reader regarding a position of a wireless tag on the print medium; determining a heating region based on the print information and a non-heating region based on the position information; determining whether the heating region and the non-heating region at least partially overlap; performing an image adjustment process to manipulate the target image to eliminate an overlap between the heating region and the non-heating region in response to determining that the heating region and the non-heating region at least partially overlap; controlling an image forming assembly to apply a toner image of the target image to the print medium; and controlling a fixing device to heat the toner image to fix the toner image on the print medium.

Abstract: A data transfer control device includes an acquisition section, an analysis section, a band detection section, a mask output section and a selection section. The acquisition section acquires data from a plurality of processing sections for transmitting the data with a transmission path. The analysis section analyzes additional information of the data acquired by the acquisition section. The band detection section detects a transmission band of the transmission path based on the additional information. The mask output section outputs a request mask signal for suppressing the transmission of the data based on the transmission band detected by the band detection section and a target band preset on the transmission path. The selection section selects the data transmitted by the processing section based on the request mask signal output by the mask output section.

Abstract: An embodiment includes an image processing apparatus. A driving unit drives at least one mechanism of the image processing apparatus. A network interface receives location information which indicates the presence or absence of a person in a surrounding area of the image forming apparatus at a time of a requested function of the image processing apparatus. A control unit determines, based on the received location information, whether the person is present in the surrounding area of the image forming apparatus. The control unit controls the driving unit so that, when the person is determined to be present, the at least one mechanism is driven in a first operating mode causing noise at a first volume, and, when the person is not determined to be present, the at least one mechanism is driven in a second operating mode causing noise at a second volume louder than the first volume.

Abstract: Certain embodiments provide an image forming apparatus, including: a detector that detects a user who is positioned within a certain range from the apparatus; a verification unit that identifies the detected user by verification; a determination unit that determines whether there is print data which is not output yet on the basis of user identifiable information which is identified by the verification unit; and a notification unit that notifies the user that the print data is not printed yet on the basis of a result which indicates the presence of the print data from the determination unit.

Abstract: According to embodiments, an information print device includes a communication unit that communicates with an external apparatus to acquire data generated by the external apparatus. An operation unit receives, as input from the print setting screen, the print format and print items selected by an operator. A controller acquires, from the external apparatus via the communication unit, the data generated by the external apparatus based on the first identification data. The controller selects first data included in the acquired data, and selects second data included in the acquired data, corresponding to the selected print items, the second data being different in type from the first data. The controller creates data to be printed by editing the selected first data and the selected second data according to the selected print format. A print unit prints the data created by the controller on a sheet.
