摘要:
A printing apparatus includes white and gray text determination units and a setting unit to charge a color printing fee where a pixel for which a color printing flag is set is present in an input image, and to charge a black-and-white printing fee where a pixel for which the color printing flag is set is not present in an input image. The white determination unit determines whether a focused pixel in the input image is a white pixel. The gray text determination unit determines whether the focused pixel constitutes a gray text. Where the focused pixel is determined to constitute a gray text or be a white pixel, the setting unit sets a black-and-white printing flag for the focused pixel and, where the focused pixel is determined to neither constitute a gray text nor be a white pixel, the color printing flag is set for the focused pixel.

Provided is a multi-function printer (MFP) supporting Wi-Fi Direct. The MFP includes a print engine to perform a printing operation, a first wireless interface to connect the MFP to an access point (AP) of an infrastructured network, a second wireless interface to connect the MFP to an external wireless terminal in a Wi-Fi Direct, a soft AP to allow the MFP to perform as an AP when the MFP is Wi-Fi Direct connected, and a dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP) server unit allocating an internet protocol (IP) address to the wireless device that is Wi-Fi Direct connected to the MFP, where the MFP is simultaneously connected to an AP of the infrastructured network and an external wireless terminal via the first wireless interface and the second wireless interface by using one channel.

An image formation apparatus configured to execute print processing, includes an information storage configured to store print-limit information and notification-destination information set for each user. The print-limit information includes at least one of a print condition and a limit on a printable amount. A user-information acquisition unit is configured to acquire print-instructing-user information, which is information on a print-instructing user instructing a print-executing user to execute printing. An information-acquisition unit is configured to acquire, from the information storage, the print-limit information and the notification-destination information corresponding to the print-instructing-user information acquired by the user-information acquisition unit, and a notification unit is configured to notify the print-instructing user of a result of print control by the print controller, based on the notification-destination information acquired by the information-acquisition unit.

An MFP (Multifunction Peripheral) receives, from a remote terminal, information on a first operation to request the MFP to execute processing. The MFP transmits, to the remote terminal, information on a screen in accordance with the information on the first operation, and receives, from the remote terminal, a report that a screen in accordance with the transmitted information is displayed on the remote terminal. The MFP receives, from the remote terminal, information on a second operation to request the MFP to execute processing, after receipt of the information on the first operation and before receipt of the report, and decides whether to execute or cancel the processing in accordance with the information on the second operation, depending on the type of the information on the second operation.

Additional information can be appropriately added to an area in a template. The web application execution unit of a printer displays a print layout on a control device in a format enabling adding additional information to areas formed in the printing area of a print medium based on a first template, and when additional information is added to one area, changes to a format reflecting the additional information applied to the one area, and displays the print layout.
摘要:
An image forming apparatus is connectable to a print server in which a print job is stored. A determination unit of the image forming apparatus deletes a print job stored in the print server and determined to be not executable by the determination unit on condition that an instruction to delete the print job is input to an input unit.
摘要:
A feedback scheme is provided in which a combination of function specific firmware and hardware are used to capture a greater representation of issues experienced by a group of end-users specific to particular product with which the combination of function specific firmware and hardware is associated. Product-resident hardware stores record of product usage, faults, interventions and maintenance associated with a particular time window so that product-generated data can be coupled with user-generated experience feedback. A digitally-recorded description of the issue with which the user was confronted that prompted the feedback, and pertinent time frame product operating data is combined and transmitted to a product monitoring center for compilation, analysis and review.

摘要:
An apparatus and a method of forming an image, a terminal and a method of controlling printing, and a computer-readable recording medium are provided. The terminal includes a communication interface to communicate with an image forming apparatus, a searcher to search for files stored in a portable storage medium with the communication interface when the image forming apparatus is connected to the portable storage medium, a printing data generator to generate printing data about at least one of the searched files and a controller to control the communication interface to transmit the printing data to the image forming apparatus.
