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.
Claims3
An image processing system, comprising:
- a first copier including a printer unit for performing selective print processings, and a display/operation unit for displaying processing names representing said selective print processings to allow a user to set a desired print processing of said selected print processings to be executed by the printer unit of the first copier, the display/operation unit being operable to selectively display original processing names which have been specializedly made for the first copier and externally-made processing names which have been made outside of the first copier;
- a second copier including a printer unit for performing selective print processings, and a display/operation unit for displaying processing names representing said selective print processings to allow a user to set a desired print processing of said selected print processings to be executed by the printer unit of the second copier, the display/operation unit being operable to selectively display original processing names which have been specializedly made for the second copier and externally-made processing names which have been made outside of the second copier, the original processing names of the second copier being different from the original processing names of the first copier;
- and
- a terminal communicating with the first and second copiers, the terminal including an input unit for inputting data of desired processing names, and a memory for storing the inputted desired processing names, and a controller for transmitting the data of at least a portion of the desired processing names to the first or second copier in response to display selection by the user of the externally-made processing names at the first or second copier, so that the display/operation unit of the first or second copier displays the desired processing names as the externally-made processing names.
