Embodiment Construction

[0033] Illustrative aspects of the invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. figure 1 is an exemplary perspective view showing the appearance structure of the multifunction device 1 .

[0034] Such as figure 1 As shown, a multifunction device (MFD) 1 includes: a printer 2 disposed at the lower portion of the multifunction device 1; a scanner 3 disposed at an upper portion of the multifunction device 1; and an operation panel 4 for operating A panel 4 is fastened to the front side of the scanner 3 . . The multifunction device 1 is capable of performing a scan function, a copy function, and a facsimile function.

[0035]In addition, the multifunction device 1 includes media functionality. For example, the media function includes a function for receiving data from a peripheral unit such as a digital camera connected to the multifunction device 1 and forming the data on recording paper. In addition, the media function may include a functio...

Abstract

A printer having a direct-printing function for reading and printing data stored in a storing unit, the printer including a connecting device, a user storage that stores user information including information of users permitted to print using the direct-printing function, a reading unit that reads identification information from data stored in the storing unit, a determining unit that determines whether the identification information corresponds to the user information, a direct-printing controlling unit that permits printing of the data using the direct-printing function if the determining unit determines that the identification information corresponds to the user information and prohibits printing of the data using the direct-printing function if the determining unit determines that theidentification information does not correspond to the user information, and a print-executing unit executing printing if the direct-printing controlling unit permits printing of the data using the direct-printing function.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims priority from Japanese Patent Application No. 2007-007697 filed on Jan. 17, 2007, the entire subject matter of which is hereby incorporated by reference. technical field [0003] Aspects of the present invention relate to printers, communication systems, and printing methods. More specifically, the present invention relates to printers, communication systems, and printing methods capable of: restricting operators who can perform printing, preventing leakage of important information, and controlling consumption of consumables such as toner and toner; and when the printing information stored in the portable storage unit is directly printed by a printer having a direct printing function, direct printing can be performed with simple operations. Background technique [0004] A printer having a direct printing function has been proposed. When the storage unit is connected to the recording unit, such ...
