  • Patent number: 11958710
    Abstract: A sheet detection device includes, as detection pieces, a first detection piece integrally provided on a rotary shaft and a second detection piece attached to the first detection piece via a biasing member. The second detection piece is capable of rotation in conjunction with the first detection piece under a biasing force of the biasing member. When the second detection piece is brought into contact with a ceiling at an upper part of the rotary shaft, the second detection piece stops further rotation while the first detection piece is capable of rotation together with the rotary shaft against the biasing force.

  • Patent number: 11190667
    Abstract: An image forming device according to the present disclosure includes a facsimile communication unit and a network communication unit. The facsimile communication unit transmits image information in increments of pages to a facsimile device that is a transmission destination, via a public telephone line. The network communication unit transmits image information as a file to an information processing device, via a network. A transmission processing unit performs broadcast transmission processing of transmitting same image information to multiple transmission destinations at one time, by at least one of the facsimile transmission unit and the network transmission unit. Further, a transmission report notification unit makes notification of transmission report information, including transmission destination information representing the transmission destinations of the broadcast transmission processing, to all of the transmission destinations.

  • Publication number: 20180316817
    Abstract: An image forming apparatus has a plurality of functions and permits setting an operating condition for each of the functions. The image forming apparatus includes: an operating portion used for operation of selecting each of the functions and setting the operating condition; an image processor that performs an image processing in a manner that depends on a function selected and an operating condition set at the operating portion; and a controller that controls the operating portion and the image processor. If one of the functions is selected at the operating portion and a setting is determined on a predetermined operating condition that is settable within the selected function, the controller prohibits the selected function from being changed to another function.

  • Publication number: 20150288841
    Abstract: Provided is a multi-functional peripheral capable of, even when the numbers of pages of plural document sets are different, transmitting plural files obtained by reading each of the plural document sets by a document reading portion to one destination by single communication. The multi-functional peripheral includes a document reading portion, a transmitting portion (a transmission processing portion and a communication portion) that transmits an electronic mail, and a setting portion that sets the multi-functional peripheral to a predetermined transmission mode based on user operation. When the multi-functional peripheral is set to the predetermined transmission mode, the transmitting portion transmits plural files corresponding to plural document sets respectively, which are obtained by executing reading at the document reading portion for the plural document sets prepared by allowing the numbers of pages to be different individually with attached to one electronic mail.

  • Publication number: 20150095805
    Abstract: An electronic conferencing system connects a main device and a terminal in a communicable manner while allowing an image file to be shared therebetween for mutually displaying. The main device includes a tablet that receives a designation operation of a position on a screen of its display section; and a drawing processing section that creates drawing information, based on which a designation position designated by the tablet is displayed in blue, and drawing information, based on which, in response to an instruction operation of another new series of position, the display of the designated position is changed in color from blue to red. Such drawing information, is transmitted to the terminal for displaying on the terminal side.

  • Patent number: 8599441
    Abstract: A fax machine includes a setting recorder, a communication device, a remainder calculator, a determination device, and a controller. The setting recorder holds setting information on a fax transmission job. The communication device performs the transmission job based on the held setting information. The remainder calculator calculates the number of sheets which can be faxed further for the transmission job by the fax machine. When the transmission job stops, the determination device determines, based on the calculated number of sheets, whether the job is completed. If the determination device determines, when the transmission job stops, that the transmission job is completed, the controller clears the setting recorder. If the determination device determines, when the transmission job stops, that the transmission job is not completed, the controller does not clear the setting recorder.
