    Abstract: A printer for printing on a long sheet includes a print data divider and a verification processor. The print data divider outputs a plurality of segments of divided print data divided at the boundary of areas from standard print data containing print contents in each of the areas obtained by dividing a standard sheet into a plurality of the areas. The verification processor compares the size of the long sheet with the size of the area included in the standard sheet and rotates the divided print data if it is determined from a result of the comparison that the rotation is necessary.

    Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes a platen, a fixed-document detection unit, a determination unit, and a processing-target selection unit. The determination unit determines whether the document on the platen is a left document or not when the document on the document tray and the document on the platen are detected, upon acceptance of the document-reading-starting instruction by the instruction accepting unit. The processing-target selection unit sets image data obtained by a conveyed-document reading unit as a processing target when the determination unit determines that the document on the platen is the left document, and inquires which image data obtained by the conveyed-document reading unit and a fixed-document reading unit, to be set as the processing target of the user when the determination unit determines that the document on the platen is not the left document.

    Abstract: During this information-extraction technique, a user of the electronic device may be instructed by an application executed by the electronic device (such as a software application) to point an imaging sensor, which is integrated into the electronic device, at a location on a document. For example, the user may be instructed to point a cellular-telephone camera at a field on an invoice. After providing the instruction and before the user activates an image-activation mechanism associated with the imaging device, the electronic device captures multiple images of the document by communicating a signal to the imaging device to acquire the images. Then, the electronic device stores the images with associated timestamps and spatial-position information, which is provided by a sensor which is integrated into the electronic device. After the user activates the image-activation mechanism, the electronic device analyzes the images to extract the information proximate to the location on the document.
