An image processing apparatus for reading a document to generate image data using a reading unit performs, receiving a job including a document reading-and-transmission job for causing the reading unit to read a document to generate image data and then transmitting the image data to a specified destination, from an information processing apparatus communicable via a network, storing the received job, displaying a list of the stored jobs in response to a user instruction, displaying a confirmation screen related to transmission setting contents of a document reading-and-transmission job selected from the list of jobs, and executing, in a case where execution of the selected document reading-and-transmission job is instructed via the confirmation screen, the document reading-and-transmission job.

An example method is provided in accordance with the present disclosure, which may be used for example for aggregating print jobs on a web of print medium for frame by frame printing. The example method comprises imposing several print jobs, each comprising patterns to be printed, on the web of print medium, in at least two parallel lanes in the longitudinal direction of the web of print medium, wherein the patterns imposed in each frame are whole patterns, a starting point for the imposition of patterns in each lane and each frame depends on an end point of the imposed patterns in the same lane in the previous frame, and a frame rewind distance is determined for each frame whereby, when printing on the web of print medium, the starting point of each lane in one frame comes to be adjacent to the end point of the lane in the previous frame.

An image reading apparatus includes an image reading device, a communication device, and a control device. The image reading device reads a source document and generates image data. The communication device communicates with an information processing apparatus via a network. The control device includes a processor, and acts as a controller that generates a first image file based on the image data, when the processor executes a control program. When the image data includes code data corresponding to a code indicating a destination of the image file, the controller generates a second image file by deleting the code data from the image data, and transmits the second image file to the destination indicated by the code, and acquired from the code data, through the communication device.

A reading apparatus includes a storage configured to store data in the storage, a reader configured to optically read a medium, and a processor configured to, in response to the reading of the medium by the reader, acquire a set of read data based on the result of the reading, generate an image file based on the acquired set of read data, and allow the storage to store in itself the generated image file. Further, the processor includes the function of, when generating the image file, generating a plurality of image files resulting from a division that allows the file size of each of the plurality of image files to be smaller than a size upper limit, and of allowing the storage to store in itself the generated plurality of image files in a state in which the plurality of image files are associated with one another.

According to the present invention, there is provided an image forming apparatus that has a scan function. The image forming apparatus comprises a restriction converter for converting, in a case in which a file upload and a file restriction are designated in a web content received from a web server, the file restriction into a scan function restriction, a scan cooperation unit for calling, in accordance with a file input instruction made by a user for the designation of the file upload, the scan function with the restriction converted by the restriction conversion unit, and a transmitter for transmitting a file generated by the scan function called by the scan cooperation unit to the web server.

A document approval management system includes an image forming apparatus, a document management server, and a mail server, connected via a network. The image forming apparatus includes an image acquisition device, a character recognizer, a workflow information acquirer that acquires workflow information from character information recognized, a coded image creator that creates a coded image including the workflow information, a generator that generates an image with coded image, a workflow creator that creates a workflow of the image with coded image, an output device that outputs the image with coded image of the workflow to the document management server, an e-mail transmission device that transmits an e-mail accompanied with the coded image to an approver, an image forming device that forms the image with coded image on a recording sheet, and a signed image acquirer that acquires a signed image, when an approval receiver receives the approval.

An information processing system including an information processing apparatus that selects between transferring data and obtaining data, and controls transferring data or obtaining data based on the selection. The system also includes a server that stores data transferred from the information processing apparatus, and controls transferring data to the information processing apparatus based on a request for transferring data received from the information processing apparatus.

A display apparatus include: a displayer that displays on a screen at least one image used for an operation to instruct execution of processing under a predetermined condition; a preparation detector that detects preparation performed by a user for the processing; and a disabling unit that disables a non-target image used for an operation to instruct execution of non-target processing different from target processing corresponding to a result of detection of the preparation detector, the non-target image being of the at least one image displayed on the screen.

An image transmission method and a system thereof and an image transmission apparatus are provided. The method includes: determining an estimated distortion area of at least one first image; zooming out the first image to generate a second image according to the estimated distortion area; adding the estimated distortion area around the second image to generate a transmission image and filling a transmission pattern in the estimated distortion area of the transmission image, wherein a resolution of the transmission image is equal to that of the first image; and transmitting the transmission image through at least one channel.
