Abstract:
According to one embodiment, a document administration system includes an administration unit to administer administration information of an image formed on a recording medium in connection with discrimination information of the recording medium and a decoloring device. The decoloring device includes a reading unit to read a discrimination information image based on the discrimination information, the discrimination information image being formed on the recording medium with erasable coloring agent, a decoloring unit to decolor the image formed on the recording medium with erasable coloring agent after the reading unit has read the discrimination information image, and a printer to print the discrimination information image in which at least the number of times of decoloring has been updated based on the discrimination information image read by the reading unit on the recording medium after decoloring.
Abstract:
In an image-forming device, an image-reading unit reads an image formed on an original document. A data-reading unit reads data stored in a storing member of the original document. A duplication-performing unit performs a plurality of duplication processes including at least an image/data-duplication process in which the duplication-performing unit forms the read image on a first recording medium having a storing member and writes the read data to the storing member of the first recording medium, and a data-duplication process in which the duplication-performing unit writes the read data to the storing member of the first recording medium without forming the read image on the first recording medium. A receiving unit receives an image/data-duplication instruction and a data-duplication instruction. The duplication-performing unit performs the image/data-duplication process if the receiving unit receives the image/data-duplication instruction, and performs the data-duplication process if the receiving unit receives the data-duplication instruction.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method of printing a personal image including at least one person, and individual information corresponding to the person or location information of a place in which the personal image was captured, on respective sides of a sheet of printing paper. The apparatus and method can print the image and individual information by providing an image file comprising a personal image including at least one person and face recognition information of the person to a printing apparatus, printing the personal image on a first side of the sheet of printing paper, and printing individual information corresponding to the face recognition information on a second side of the sheet of printing paper.
Abstract:
In a composite machine provided with a copy mode and a print mode, an operation history of each operation mode is accurately timed and log information concerning an electric power of the composite machine for processing various jobs such as the copy mode and the print mode is prepared based on a timed value.
Abstract:
An information management apparatus 50 according to the present invention comprises: a database 30d for storing information relevant to a printer 40 therein; output request reception means 20a for receiving an output request transmitted from a portable terminal 14; inquiry signal transmission means 20a for transmitting an inquiry signal on the printer 40 being an output destination to the portable terminal 14; communication means for receiving image data transmitted from the portable terminal 14; recognition means 30b for recognizing the identification information of the printer 40 by analyzing the image data transmitted in response to the inquiry signal; retrieval means 30c for retrieving the information relevant to the printer 40 from the data base 30d on the basis of the acquired recognition information; and printing means 20c for outputting the information to the printer 40 on the basis of the information relevant to the printer 40 retrieved by the retrieval means 30c.

Abstract:
A print unit, that has one or more printhead assemblies, an individual printhead assembly having one or more printheads, the one or more printheads of the one or more printhead assemblies collectively configured to span the width of the media substrate; and one or more servicing assemblies, an individual servicing assembly configured for movement between a retracted position and a service position to service the one or more printheads on the individual printhead assembly.
Abstract:
A printer for printing an interface of human-readable visible information and a machine-readable position-coding pattern onto a surface. The printer comprises: an input for receiving document data; a memory buffer storing dot data for the visible information and dot data for the position-coding pattern; a printhead for printing the interface; visible ink channels dedicated for printing the visible information; and an infrared ink channel exclusively dedicated for printing the position-coding pattern. The printhead is configured to print the interface onto the surface by printing the visible information and the position-coding pattern simultaneously.
Abstract:
A printer is provided for printing, onto a surface, an interface of document data and coded data. The document data includes first identity data indicative of an identity associated with a region of the interface. The coded data includes tags each including the first identity data and second identity data defining a relative position of the respective tag. The printer comprises an actuator, a coded data generator configured to generate the coded data based at least partially on the first identity data, and a printing mechanism. The printer is configured to print the interface onto the surface, using the printing mechanism, in response to actuation of the actuator.
Abstract:
A method for providing for the automatic accurate sorting of digital photograph files, without dependence on a particular application or operating-system, by use of its inventive metadata file is disclosed. The present invention provides a metadata file, containing date and time of capture datum, associated with each digital photograph file. When uploaded to the computer for storage on non-volatile storage, the metadata is transferred along with the digital photograph files. Thereafter, an inventive system of the present invention allows consumers to specify events, and view and/or print digital photograph files which fit the event date criteria by querying the metadata associated with each digital photograph file.
