Abstract:
When the print sheet number determined based on the mail header is equal to or higher than the predetermined value (“Yes” in S996), the print confirmation screen is displayed in S997 to request the user to indicate whether or not to print the print mail. If the program determines in S998 that the user has indicated his/her desire to print, then the mail is printed in S1030 and S1040. However, if the user has not indicated a desire to print, the print operation is not performed. With this configuration, not all received print mail is immediately targeted for printing. The user can defer printing of print mail having a large amount of data according to circumstances on the receiving end. The large amount of print mail data will not occupy the printer on the receiving end for a long period of time. Hence, urgent or important printing can be given a higher priority.
Abstract:
A paper feeder for a printer in which a paper separator roller 15 is rotatably provided in the end portion of a paper holder 12 so that when a paper feed roller 14 is rotated in the paper feed direction, the paper separator roller 15 is arranged to stop at a predetermined position and act similarly to a conventional friction pad, while when the paper feed roller 14 is rotated in the paper return direction, the paper separator roller 15 also rotates in synchronization with the above rotation. By way of vibrating the paper separator roller 15 in the rotational direction or another direction, paper sheets P stacked on the paper holder 12 are vibrated for the purpose of being successively moved in the portion at which the two rollers 14 and 15 are positioned in contact with each other. As a result of this structure, the paper feeder of the printer according to the present invention can be prevented from local abrasion of the paper separator roller 15 causing papers to be fed in an overlap manner, and stop of paper feed can be prevented, and papers can be assuredly fed one at a time to the printing mechanism portion 1.
Abstract:
A process for dyeing a nitrogen-containing fiber, which comprises dyeing the fiber in a dye bath containing a halogenated hydrocarbon solvent, and a dye complex of an anionic dye with an amine of the formula: represents ##EQU1## wherein R.sub.1 represents a saturated or unsaturated hydrocarbon residue having 8 to 22 carbon atoms, R.sub.2 represents a saturated or unsaturated divalent hydrocarbon residue having 2 to 6 carbon atoms, said hydrocarbon residue for R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 may be of a straight or branched chain, n represents an integer of 1 to 4, each member of R.sub.2 may be the same or different when n is 2 or more, R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 each respresents a hydrogen atom, a lower alkyl or hydroxyalkyl group having 1 to 3 carbon atoms, and R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 may be the same or different.
Abstract:
A printing system includes a printer and computers connected by an network. A mail server is provided for transmitting notification data from the printer to the computers in the form of an email message. Print data stored in the printer is erased once the print data has been used for reprint operations a certain amount of times. If the amount of print data stored in the printer exceeds a reference size, then print data sets are selected for erasure based on predetermined conditions. Data stored in the printer can be retrieved from the printer and amended at the computer.
Abstract:
A network system includes printers as terminals interconnected via a network. Each of the printers can obtain information on the others, and transmit the obtained information together with information on itself to a browser computer as a controller. Therefore, by obtaining the information only from one of the printers, the computer can obtain together with it the information on the others. In this system, it is possible to obtain the information on the printers efficiently without using a server computer.

Abstract:
With a push of a maintenance button disposed on a printer, printer information mail is created based on information previously stored in a memory, and sent to a mail server. The sent mail is read by a support server, the support server extracts maintenance information that best suits the contents of the sent mail from a database, and sends it as maintenance information mail to the mail server in reply to the mail. When the maintenance information mail arrives at the printer, cleaning is performed or error remedy is displayed or printed, according to the contents of the maintenance information mail.
Abstract:
The apparatus includes output stage amplifiers for receiving the respective outputs of preamplifiers provided in correspondence to the left and right channels in a stereo system. Negative feedback circuits are provided in the respective output stage amplifiers for reducing the amount of low-band negative feedback. Switch circuits are turned on in response to feedback signals from the respective negative feedback circuits for supplying the feedback signals at the input to the output stage amplifiers.
Abstract:
A perfecting printer for performing a double-face printing operation of printing images on obverse and reverse faces of at least one sheet on the basis of a series of print data inputted from an external device and a method for controlling the double-face printing operation of the printer. The perfecting printer includes a page memory for storing as page data at least both of the first and second print data in the series of the print data, and a control unit for printing the first and second print data on both of the obverse and reverse faces of the sheet when it is judged that the page data to be printed on the reverse face of the sheet exists in the memory and promptly printing only the first print data on the obverse face of the sheet when it is judged that the page data to be printed on the reverse face of the sheet does not exist in the memory.
Abstract:
A signal generating circuit of the invention includes a current polarity switch circuit that receives an output current of a light-sensitive element and outputs a current of which the direction the polarity switch circuit keeps constant regardless of the direction of the received current, a current-to-voltage conversion circuit that converts the current outputted from the current polarity switch circuit into a voltage, and a signal processing circuit that receives the voltage outputted from the current-voltage conversion circuit to generate a signal based on the received voltage. Thus, the signal based on the received current signal can be generated regardless of the direction of the received current signal.
