Examples to facilitate facsimile communication are described herein. In an example, on receiving a communication error for a call session, values of communication parameters to be used for another call session, which is subsequent to the call session for which the communication error is received, may be determined. The communication parameter may be, for instance, a transmission rate and an error correction mode (ECM). The values of the communication parameters in the subsequent call session may be determined, based on values of these parameters in a previous call session(s), i.e., the call session for which the communication error is received. Further, a communication channel may be established using the determined values of the communication parameters.

In one embodiment, a control method for an image processing apparatus including a reading unit configured to read a document image and a printing unit configured to print the document image read by the reading unit is provided. The control method includes detecting an error in process of reading by the reading unit, causing the reading unit to perform reread processing for rereading the document image based on the error being detected, and refraining, in a case where the image processing apparatus operates in a mode in which the printing unit starts printing without waiting for the reading unit to complete reading a document image, from causing the reading unit to perform the reread processing based on the error being detected.

A communication device includes a first holding unit which holds a disk-like first recording medium capable of storing information and a second holding unit which holds a second recording medium which is different from the first recording medium. The communication device further includes a request reception unit configured to receive a request for information indicating a recording medium which is usable by the communication device from a terminal device, and a transmission unit configured to transmit information indicating the first recording medium and information indicating the second recording medium held by the second holding unit to the terminal device when the request is received.

An area indicating a progress status of processing for all of the plurality of documents is divided into individual areas indicating a progress status of processing for each of the plurality of documents, and a progress status of processing for each corresponding document is displayed in the individual areas obtained by the division.

A method for printing, including: receiving, by a printer, a main print job; generating, by the printer and based on the main print job, a first hardcopy page, a second hardcopy page, and a third hardcopy page; detecting, by the printer, a printed error on the first hardcopy page; sending, by the printer, the first hardcopy page to a first output location in response to detecting the printed error; detecting, by the printer, no printed errors on the second hardcopy page; and sending, by the printer, the second hardcopy page to a second output location in response to detecting no printed errors.

Embodiments of a fax system with adaptive protocol selection, and methods for such a system, are disclosed herein. Embodiments of a fax system may be adapted to selectively configure the protocol (both the type of protocol or aspects of a particular protocol) used in association with the transmission or reception of a specific fax. The configuration of the protocol utilized can be based on one or more attributes associated with a sender or a destination. The fax can then be transmitted or received according to those configuration parameters.

A printer includes a printer-side memory that stores first connection setting information for establishing a communication connection with one or a plurality of terminal devices, and in accordance with second connection setting information for establishing a communication connection with an access point received from the terminal device with which a communication connection has been established, a printer-side processor that establishes a communication connection with the access point, wherein when the printer-side processor determines the terminal device having a communication connection to be the terminal device connected by mistake, disconnects the communication connection with the terminal device, and changes the first connection setting information stored in the printer-side memory.

The invention backups job data, and detects and predicts the occurrence of trouble in a storage device. A gateway registers job data registered in a HDD and vibration-detection information of a vibration-detection sensor received from a user terminal in a memory, and then transmits the job data to a MFP. The MFP registers the job data in a HDD, and according to a request from the gateway, transmits the job data registered in the HDD and vibration-detection information of a vibration-detection sensor to the gateway. The gateway compares the data amount of when the job data is registered in the memory and the data amount of the job data from the gateway, and when there is a difference, registers trouble information related to the HDD in the memory.

In a system constructed by a plurality of integrated circuits, it is possible to appropriately perform interrupt control even in the case where an interrupt has occurred in an integrated circuit in which the function of a CPU is suspended. An interrupt unit of a second integrated circuit outputs an interrupt to at least one of the plurality of image processing units of the second integrated circuit, an image processing unit of the second integrated circuit, to which the interrupt is input, outputs an interrupt to a first integrated circuit, an image processing unit of the first integrated circuit, to which an interrupt from the second integrated circuit is input, outputs an interrupt to an interrupt unit of the first integrated circuit, and the interrupt unit of the first integrated circuit outputs an interrupt to an control unit of the first integrated circuit in accordance with the interrupt being input.

In an image forming apparatus, while executing a print job that designates a delivery destination of a printed matte of a first quality to a first delivery tray, and prints multiple sets in which each set includes multiple sheets subjected to image formation in order of pages based on multiple page image data, in a case of having determined that a printed matter being conveyed is a printed matter of the second quality, printed matters of one set consecutive from the printed matter of the second quality are delivered to the second delivery tray, and thereafter, a printed matter of the first quality is delivered to the first delivery tray.
