A printing system adapted to be able to successively process a plurality of jobs by a printing apparatus has a designation unit adapted to designate, from the plurality of jobs, a job that processing by the printing apparatus is to be suspended; and a controller adapted to control the printing apparatus to suspend the processing of the job designated by the designation unit, wherein the controller controls the printing apparatus so as to suspend processing of another job in accordance with a suspension factor of the job designated by the designation unit.

In a computer system including a job scheduler which divides an input job and determines a client apparatus to assign the divided job, and a task manager which transmits the divided job to the client apparatus determined by the job scheduler, the job scheduler assigns the same job to a plurality of client apparatuses when the number of client apparatuses is larger than the number of divided jobs, and when the job is finished in one of the plurality of client apparatuses assigned the same job, execution of the job in the remaining client apparatuses is canceled so that the time until all jobs are finished is shortened.

A multi-value code image generation part generates a multi-value code image by assigning first code information, which is obtained by encoding a dot pattern in a specific area, to each growth core. A multi-value code image affine transformation part performs affine transformation on the multi-value code image. A multi-value code image assignment part assigns second code information to each of the growth cores before the affine transformation according to the first code information of at least one growth core after the affine transformation, which growth core neighbors close to the growth core before the affine transformation. A dot pattern development part develops the dot pattern for the specific area at each of the growth cores before the affine transformation according to the second code information.

An image processing system has a host computer to which a scanner and a printer are connected. A color space conversion module, for converting a color space of a device input-output image into a predetermined color space, likewise a resolution conversion module, for converting the resolution of the image into a predetermined resolution, and a counterfeit determination module, which determines a degree of a match between the image signal converted into predetermined color space and resolution and a particular image, are included in the OS of the host computer. The OS further includes an anti-counterfeiting module for preventing or suppressing counterfeiting based on the results of the matching determination. By providing the various modules in the OS instead of the device, the system is able to provide counterfeiting prevention and anti-counterfeiting capabilities designed to accommodate a plurality of different types of input-out devices efficiently.

In a system in which color matching is performed upon downloading a profile from a profile management server (100), the profile of a target printer may not be available under the management of the profile management server. In such case the profile management server decides a similar profile based upon information relating to the target printer. This information is composed of colorimetric values obtained on a print sample from the target computer and image data values of the print sample. The profile management server evaluates color differences with respect to color values of profiles under its management and selects a profile for which the color difference is smallest as the similar profile.

An image processing method for use in a printer driver includes steps of receiving an instruction for a printing process, judging whether an image corresponding to a developed image signal represents a specified image according to the printing process, and outputting a result obtained in the judging step so as to use the result processing of the image signal. A forgery preventing module in an operating system outputs an instruction to a display driver for executing a predetermined display according to the result obtained in the judging step.

In profile adjustment processing, if colorimetric conditions are different from those of when the profile is created, notification is performed to enable the profile adjustment with a high accuracy. According to the present invention, there is provided a method for processing a profile including acquiring a colorimetric value by measuring a color of a patch printed by an image forming apparatus based on patch data, performing a calculation for creating a profile based on the colorimetric value, storing the profile created by the calculation in association with information about a condition of the colorimetric measurement, comparing, when the profile is adjusted, the colorimetric condition corresponding to the stored profile with a colorimetric condition used when the color of the patch is measured to adjust the profile, and notifying a user if the comparison determines that the colorimetric conditions do not coincide with each other.

In a digital multi-function peripheral, image data to be output and first log information are generated based on an image forming job. Second log information embedded as digital watermark information is detected from the image data, and the reliability of the digital watermark information is computed. If the reliability is high, the first log information is held in a property storage unit 114 in an image management server 110. If the reliability is low, the first log information is held in the property storage unit 114 and the image data is held in a volume storage unit.

The objective of the preset invention is to easily determine an optimal method for the use of transparent toner. In order to resolve this problem, an image forming apparatus according to the present invention includes an addition unit for adding, to each of objects that constitute an original document, information indicating either that transparent toner is to be printed for the entire surface of the original document or that transparent toner is to be printed for only part of the original document, a storage unit for storing the object and a generating unit for generating image data by employing the object stored in the storage unit, wherein, based on the information added to the object that is stored in the storage unit, the generating unit controls a number of pixels used for printing the transparent toner.
