Abstract
Image processing operations, such as settings of copying conditions of a copier, are facilitated, with the setting being made on a terminal such as a personal computer or other copier. Data of the image processing operation settings to be executed by an image processing apparatus, are set on a terminal such as a personal computer which is interconnected with the image processing apparatus through LAN, and to which a user has been accustomed in operation. The set data are transmitted to the image processing apparatus and names of the image processing operations are displayed on a display window of the image processing apparatus, as candidates to be executed by the apparatus.
Claims11
An image processing apparatus adapted to be interconnected with one or more terminal devices including one or more of data processing device and/or one or more image processing apparatus, to communicate with each other, the image processing apparatus comprising
- an input unit to be manipulated for a predetermined input operation,
- a data obtaining unit responsive to the input to the input unit, to obtain, from the terminal device, one or more image processing setting data set on the terminal so as to be executed by the image processing apparatus, and
- an image processing unit for executing image processing in accordance with the image processing operation setting data obtained by the data obtaining unit.
A program product for setting image processing operation setting to be executed by a terminal interconnected with one or more image processing apparatus comprising;
- a program configured to set data of one or more image processing operations to be executed by the image processing apparatus, and further configured to store the set data and send out one or more of the image processing operation data in response to request from the image processing apparatus.
A image processing system in which an image processing apparatus is interconnected with terminals including one or more data processing device and/or one or more other image processing apparatus to communicate with each other, the system comprising;
- the terminal including
- an image processing operation data setting unit to be accessed for the setting of the data of one or more image processing operations to be executed by the image processing apparatus, and
- a memory for storing the data set by setting unit;
- and
- the image forming apparatus including
- an input operation unit to be operated by a user,
- a data obtaining unit for obtaining image processing operation data from the terminal in response to the operation to the input operation unit, and
- an image processing unit for executing image processing in accordance with the image processing operation data obtained by the obtaining unit.
