Title:
MULTIFUNCTION PRINTER
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP3758154
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a multifunction printer having a scanner section and a printer section that can reset only the printer section.
SOLUTION: In the multifunction printer 10 having a scanner and a printer as in one piece, upon the receipt of a printer section reset command by the multifunction printer 10, an interface control task T10 forcibly writes NULL into an input buffer and a job control task sets a reset flag RSF. Various nested loop processes are performed in a main task T30. Since NULL is stored in the input buffer, the process is terminated in due time and since the reset flag RSF is set, control gradually returns to the main loop process. Thus, if the scanner section and the printer section operate concurrently, the main task T30 can be initialized and only the printer section can be reset.
