An image processing apparatus includes a processing target selection unit. The processing target selection unit inquires which image data obtained by a conveyed-document reading unit or by a fixed-document reading unit, to be set as a processing target when a user determination unit has determined that users are identical, determines image data obtained by a conveyed-document reading unit as a processing target when the user determination unit has determined that the users are not identical and a determination unit has determined that the document on the platen is a left document, and inquires which image data image data obtained by the conveyed-document reading unit or by the fixed-document reading unit, to be set as the processing target when the user determination unit has determined that the users are not identical, and the determination unit has determined that the document on the platen is not a left document.

Printing apparatus and computer program product for managing sheet attribute information for print jobs
09798962 · 2017-10-24 · ·

A control apparatus includes a storing unit, a determining unit, a first notification unit, a selection unit, and a second notification unit. The storing unit stores attribute information of sheets to be stored in sheet holding units. The determining unit determines whether attribute information of sheets to be used by a job corresponds to the stored sheet attribute information. The first notification unit notifies, in a case where the determining unit determines that the attribute information does not correspond, a user that the attribute information does not correspond to the sheet attribute information. The selection unit selects the stored sheet attribute information to change the attribute information of sheets to be used by the job. The second notification unit notifies, in accordance with selection of the sheet attribute information, the user that the attribute information of sheets to be used by the job corresponds to the stored sheet attribute information.

Document conveyance apparatus and image forming apparatus

A document conveyance apparatus includes a document conveyance section, a cover, an opening and closing detection sensor, a document detection sensor, and a control section. The control section detects opening and closing of the cover on the basis of an output value of the opening and closing detection sensor and detects whether or not there is a document in a predetermined detection position on the basis of the output value of the document detection sensor. If, when the output value of the document detection sensor has changed from a value indicating an opened state of the cover to a value indicating a closed state thereof, the output value of the document detection sensor is a value indicating that there is the document, the control section detects a half-closed state where the cover is not completely closed.

IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS

An image processing apparatus comprises a scanner section and an area determination section. The scanner section reads the light reflected from an original document after the light penetrates a light diffusion sheet to output first image data, wherein the light diffusion sheet has a surface for diffusing the light reflected from the original document including a mirror reflection area; and the area determination section determines the mirror reflection area with respect to the first image data output from the scanner section.

Image scanning method and image scanning device applying the same

An image scanning method is applied in an image scanning device which includes an input tray and a paper feeding sensor. The method detects whether there are papers on the input tray in step one. If there are papers, step two is executed. Otherwise, the method ends and an error is reported. In step two, papers are separated and fed. Whether the papers contact the paper feeding sensor is detected in step three. The method executes step four if the papers contact the paper feeding sensor, and ends the method with an error message otherwise. In step four, the method scans and detects whether an image of a fed edge of each of the papers is abnormal. If the image is abnormal, the method ends and an error is reported. Otherwise, scanning continues.

Coordination of capture and movement of media

A described example system may include a connection engine, a capture engine, and a command engine. In that example, the connection engine wirelessly connects to an imaging device having a media location for placing media; the capture engine captures an image of media at the media location; and the command engine coordinates movement of the media in response to a capture operation or in preparation to perform the capture operation. In another example, an imaging device includes a media tray, a pick, a processor resource, and a memory resource having executable instructions that cause coordination of the pick to, in response to an indication that a sheet of media is captured from a capture device, generate movement of the sheet of media away from the media tray or movement the sheet of media on to the media tray.

NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD AND INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS

A non-transitory computer readable medium stores a print control program causing a computer to function as a designation information acquisition unit, a paper feed information acquisition unit, and a designation information changing unit. The designation information acquisition unit acquires designation information indicating a paper feed designation of recording paper and a paper designation from print data that is generated by a printer driver based on the paper feed designation and the paper designation. The paper feed information acquisition unit acquires paper feed information indicating paper information of the recording paper and paper feed configuration of the recording paper mounted on a printing device, from the printing device before the print data is transmitted to the printing device. The designation information changing unit compares the designation information and the paper feed information and changes the designation information when a certain condition is met.
