Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a print device, a communication device, a print executing circuit, a job managing circuit, and an another-apparatus transmitting circuit. The print device executes print on a recording medium. The communication device performs communications. The print executing circuit causes the print device to perform a print job addressing a first port number received by the communication device. The job managing circuit manages a print job addressing a second port number received by the communication device. The second port number is different from the first port number. The another-apparatus transmitting circuit transmits the print job managed by the job managing circuit to another image forming apparatus upon request from the other image forming apparatus via the communication device.

Abstract: Upon startup of an OS, the present invention obtains an entry of a StatusMonitor key from all printer driver setting information subscribed in a registry by means of a subscriber (S0), and if a value thereof is 1, obtains an entry of a key including “Notification”. If a value of an array element 0 indicates activation of notification, the present invention obtains a character string of an array element 1 as an event type, and makes a Subscribe request to an image forming apparatus (S3). The present invention stores a subscription ID being returned, and makes an Unsubscribe request to the image forming apparatus for all subscription IDs thus stored, upon shut-down of the OS.

Abstract translation: 在OS启动时，本发明通过用户（S0）从注册表中订阅的所有打印机驱动程序设置信息中获取StatusMonitor密钥的条目，并且如果其值为1，则获得包括 “通知”。 如果数组元素0的值表示通知的激活，则本发明获得数组元素1的字符串作为事件类型，并向图像形成装置发出订阅请求（S3）。 本发明存储正在返回的订阅ID，并且在OS关闭时，向所述图像形成装置发出对所存储的所有订阅ID的取消订阅请求。

Abstract: Provided is a document-management server that controls the amount of change notifications sent to an administrator of an image-processing server in the case where metadata necessary for system cooperation is changed. The image-processing server acquires an attribute of specific metadata from document data and transmits the attribute together with the document data. The document-management server manages the document data based on the attribute of the specific metadata transmitted from the image-processing server. A metadata-setting-receiving unit receives a change in the specific metadata. A notification-priority-adding unit adds a notification priority to the specific metadata for which a change is received by the metadata-setting-receiving unit. A change-notifying unit creates a change notification for informing that the specific metadata has been changed, and transmits the created change notification to an administrator of the image-processing server at a transmission timing based on the notification priority.

Abstract: Provided is an information processing apparatus capable of calling functions of a plurality of servers without having to perform authentication every time. An authentication-executing unit, in the case where a function requires authentication in one of the plurality of servers, performs authentication with that server. An integrated-arrangement unit arranges in one application instruction areas that acquire instructions for calling the functions to any one of the plurality of the servers, and further, arranges the instruction areas in which a plurality of the functions that are similar and that require authentication by the authentication-executing unit and/or a plurality of the functions that are to be authenticated in the same server are organized as a folder. An authentication-state-changing unit controls the authentication state in correlation with any one of the folder organized by the integrated-arrangement unit, the application, and the function.

Abstract: Provided is an information processing apparatus capable of appropriately deleting a user that does not consent to policy or the like. A user-notifying unit performs a notification for requiring consent from a user registered in a user DB. A response-acquiring unit acquires response information of the user. A re-notification-transmitting unit, when consent response information is not acquired, separately transmits a re-notification to the user. The re-notification includes transmission information for transmitting consent or non-consent re-response information. A re-response-acquiring unit acquires the re-response information corresponding to the transmission information in the re-notification. A user-deleting unit deletes the user from the user DB when the re-response information is not consent.

Abstract: An information-processing system includes a personal computer, a management server, and one or more image forming apparatuses. The management server includes an emulator management unit and one or more emulators, and an estimated amount calculating unit. The estimated amount calculating unit calculates an estimated amount of charging when the print job is executed using the total count of pages, the print paper sheet size for each page, and the color/monochrome type for each page of the document to be printed by the print job determined by the emulator selected by the emulator management unit. Each of the one or more image forming apparatuses includes an estimated amount display. The estimated amount display obtains the estimated amount of charging from the management server when the print job is executed, so as to present the estimated amount of charging to the user via the display.

Abstract: Provided is an image forming apparatus that performs printout processing smoothly, even if printout from apparatus having no spooler, such as a tablet or a smart phone. The image forming apparatus includes the port for printing and an application executing part. The port for printing acquires a print job transmitted from an external apparatus without using spooler function. The application executing part works on a specified platform. The application executing part receives the print job from the external apparatus via a network. Then, the application executing part confirms whether or not the print buffer has space to the port for printing. When the print buffer cannot be used, an application executing part notifies the external apparatus for stopping the transmission of the print job until it becomes available.

Abstract: An image forming system includes a client apparatus, a print server, and an image forming apparatus, each of which are coupled via a network to one another. The client apparatus provides a job ID together with an IP address of the client apparatus to the print server, and transmits print job data to the image forming apparatus via the print server. The print server registers the job ID and the IP address in a job address table, receives content of an event transmitted from the image forming apparatus, reads an IP address associated with a job ID included in the content of the event from the job address table when the event is a change in job status, and transmits the content of the event to a client having the read IP address.
