Abstract: According to one embodiment, an image processing apparatus includes a damaged file determiner, a response unit, and a file restoration unit. The damaged file determiner determines whether or not a file used in the image processing apparatus is damaged. The response unit requests another device to provide a recovery file to be used to restore the damaged file and obtain the recovery file from another image processing apparatus, when it is determined that the file is damaged. The file restoration unit restores the damaged file by using the recovery file.

Abstract: A device-information-holding section holds inherent device information including the control information to be possessed by an image-forming device. A condition-setting section sets a reference value to specific device information in the above device information as a condition. A character-data-generating section determines whether the device information fetched from the device-information-holding section meets the above set condition, adds predetermined color information to the device information in accordance with the determination result, and converts the device information into character-string data. An image-data-generating section converts the above converted character-string data into character-image data. An image-data-storing section stores the above converted character-image data. An image-forming section reads the character-image data from the image-data-storing section and forms an image based on the character-image data on an image-recording medium.

Abstract: A plurality of devices for reading document images are connected through a network. A master device and slave devices are set among the devices. Read conditions and image forming conditions are respectively notified to the slave devices by the master device. Each slave device reads an original document based on the read condition, and outputs the read image data attached with the image forming condition, to the print device. The print device prints image data from various read devices under the image forming conditions attached thereto, thereby to print image data from the plurality of read devices, integrated with each other.

Abstract: The color image forming apparatus forms color images on a recording medium using the reading unit for continuously reading color images from a plurality of documents to output color image data corresponding to the color images and a plurality of image forming units which are provided to form images for a plurality of color signals constituting the color image data on the basis of the color image data read by the reading unit. In the color image forming apparatus, the reading unit is controlled to start reading of a next document of the document corresponding to the images under image forming when the predetermined image forming unit finishes image forming among the plurality of image forming units before the color image forming is finished.

Abstract: An input and output environment suited for more various input originals and recording mediums is provided by enabling a plurality of jobs having totally different input conditions and output conditions to be connected. This invention relates to an image forming apparatus including at least one image input section that fetches image data on an original, and at least one image output section printing out the image data. The image forming apparatus includes a job information fetching section for fetching set values as a plurality of different jobs whenever input and output conditions for the image data differ, and for connecting the plurality of different jobs as a series of jobs, and a printout control section for controlling the image output section to execute a series of printout processings according to the output conditions for the respective plurality of jobs connected as the series of jobs.

Abstract: A printer controller receives a printer job from external equipment and carries out the printer job using a printer. A user IF task accepts a reservation input for the use of a copying function using a scanner and the printer from a user while the printer job is being executed by the printer controller. Responsive to the copy reservation input, a job management task reserves the right of use of the scanner and the printer after the completion of the printer job in execution. If the printer is in operation when the user desires to use the copy function, the user is allowed to make a reservation for copying and then copy after the termination of the current printer job even if another printer job has been spooled.
