An image processing device including a reception unit, an acquisition unit, an image reading unit, a transmission unit, and an instruction unit. The reception unit receives a processing identifier associated with image reading processing. The acquisition unit acquires processing information associated with the processing identifier, the processing information including at least information regarding a storing location and client's identification information. The image reading unit reads an image on the basis of the processing information. The transmission unit transmits data of the read image to the storing location according to the processing information. The instruction unit issues a print instruction to print the image on the basis of the client's identification information included in the processing information.

An image forming apparatus includes a job control unit configured to, in response to, during a period in which an output processing unit is performing printing of image data for a first print job, a reception unit receiving a second print job higher in degree of priority than the first print job, cause an input processing unit to interrupt acquisition of data for each page about the first print job.

A sever configured to execute communication with a printer may include a controller. The controller may be configured to: in a case where a first predetermined condition is satisfied, execute a first delivering process for delivering a new first consumable article to a user of the printer; and in a case where the first delivering process is executed, send an initialization instruction to the printer, wherein the initialization instruction is a command instructing the printer to initialize first count information, wherein the first count information is stored in the printer and related to a used amount of a first consumable article.

A printing system and a printing method are provided. The user terminal includes a print content processing unit and a sliding print content conversion unit, and the handheld printer includes an inkjet printing unit that performs inkjet printing at a predetermined inkjet width in a sliding direction when performing sliding print. The print content processing unit determines the number of sliding print motions and sequentially generates bitmaps corresponding to the respective sliding print motions based on the respective print content mode and the inkjet width, and generates bitmap format instructions corresponding to the respective bitmaps. The sliding print content conversion unit converts pixels in the bitmaps into binary data to form sliding print content. The handheld printer sequentially prints the respective sliding print content based on the respective bitmap format instructions and the print content mode.

A method, a system, and a non-transitory computer readable medium are disclosed containing a computer program having computer readable code embodied to carry out a method of providing Uniform Resource Identifiers for Push Scan jobs pursuant to an Internet Printing Protocol (IPP), which includes hosting a database of IPP clients and destination Uniform Resource Identifiers (destination-uris) for each of the IPP clients, the database of destination-uris defining each of the destination-uris in which each of the IPP clients are authorized to send Push Scan jobs; receiving a request from an IPP client for at least one Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) for a Push Scan job; checking the database to determine if the IPP client is authorized to send the Push Scan job to the at least one URI; and sending the destination-uris to the IPP client upon determination that the IPP client is authorized to send the Push Scan job.

An image reading apparatus includes a scanner, a sensor, and a controller. The sensor is configured to detect an original at a predetermined position. The controller is configured to determine whether or not an immediate execution mode in which no user operation is needed to cause the scanner to start scanning is set, and in case the immediate execution mode is determined to be set, determine whether or not a scan start condition is satisfied. The scan start condition includes the sensor detecting the original at the predetermined position. The controller is configured to control the scanner to start scanning, upon a standby time of a predetermined amount being passed since the scan start condition is satisfied.

The various embodiments illustrated herein disclose a method for operating an imaging device. the method includes activating a first image sensor at a first duty cycle within a first time period. The method further includes activating a second image sensor at a second duty cycle within the first time period. Additionally, the method includes modifying at least one of the first duty cycle or the second duty cycle based on at least a workflow associated an operator of the imaging device.

The present disclosure is directed, among other things, to automated systems and methods for analyzing, storing, and/or retrieving information associated with biological objects having irregular shapes. In some embodiments, the systems and methods partition an input image into a plurality of sub-regions based on localized colors, textures, and/or intensities in the input image, wherein each sub-region represents biologically meaningful data.

A control method for an information processing apparatus which is able to operate in any one of a plurality of states including a first state in which the information processing apparatus performs communication according to a predetermined communication method using a first number of antennas and a second state in which the information processing apparatus performs communication according to the predetermined communication method using a second number of antennas, the second number being less than the first number, includes causing the information processing apparatus to operate in a state that is based on at least one of information which is received from a communication apparatus capable of performing communication according to the predetermined communication method, a state of the communication apparatus, and a state of the information processing apparatus, out of the plurality of states.

A card encoding system comprises a belt to receive an encodable card on a first surface of the belt; a contactless encoding module including an encoding antenna, wherein the encoding antenna is positioned opposite a second surface of the belt; and a belt drive controller configured to rotate a drive roller to move the belt to position the encodable card for encoding using the encoding antenna.
