  • Patent number: 9294636
    Abstract: In an image forming apparatus, a facsimile device includes a non volatile memory in which received image data of facsimile is stored. A mail processing unit receives an email of internet facsimile from a mail server. An image processing unit generates received image data of internet facsimile on the basis of the received email. A job managing unit stores the receive image data of internet facsimile in the non volatile memory, and performs printing of the received image data stored in the non volatile memory. The job managing unit stores a message ID of the receive email in the non volatile memory with the received image data of internet facsimile. The open confirmation processing unit acquires destination information for an open confirmation email from the received email corresponding to the stored message ID and transmits the open confirmation email to a destination specified by the acquired destination information.

  • Patent number: 8659780
    Abstract: An image forming apparatus according to the present disclosure includes a buffering unit, an information storage unit, a print processing unit, and a print management unit. The buffering unit receives print requests transmitted from the information processing apparatuses. The information storage unit stores information about documents that are requested to be printed in response to the print requests in an order in that the print requests are received by the buffering unit. The print processing unit performs a printing process. The print management unit, based on the print requests, designates the documents in an order in which the information about the documents is stored in the information storage unit, and directs the print processing unit to print the designated documents.
