Method and apparatus for peripheral progress metering

TL;DR: A fax processing system handles faxes that are originally destined for a recipient's phone number as mentioned in this paper, which can provide more sophisticated fax handling capabilities than conventional fax machines, and can communicate with the fax recipient via a data communications network (for example, the Internet).

TL;DR: In this paper, an image forming apparatus includes a path establishing portion to establish a communication path with a remote operation device, an active device setting portion to set the remote operation devices with which the communication path is established to be an active devices, a process execution portion to execute a process in accordance with a Remote Operating System (ROS) received from the active device, and a standby device setting part to, in response to a communication communication path being established with another remote operator device, set another one to be a standby devices.

TL;DR: A multi-function document machine, such as a combined printer-copier-scanner-facsimile, accepts image data from one or more remote image input devices as mentioned in this paper, such as digital camera or hand-held scanner.

TL;DR: In this article, a printing method for printing a file stored in an e-book connecting the ebook and a printer to a network is proposed, where the e-books sends a message to find the printer.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe an image output processing apparatus, which temporarily stores inputted image data and thereafter reads out the same to output images on sheets of paper, including a CPU which divides the input image data into a plurality of blocks under predetermined conditions in an order in which the image data are inputted, so that one block has an amount of image data not exceeding a capacity of the storing means.

TL;DR: In this paper, a method is provided for a multifunctional printing system in which a plurality of jobs are placed in a queue in anticipation of processing the same, and a determination as to whether the third job is of the first user type or the second user type is made.

TL;DR: A progress indicator generated on a computer display is a progress indicator as discussed by the authors, which is a graphical representation of the progress status information of the selected executing task, such as the transmission of print jobs.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a user interface, with a screen display, for use with a network document device server having a first queue communicating with a first document processing device and a second queuing with a second device by way of a job distribution controller.
