Abstract:
An information processing apparatus includes a print data generation part that receives, via an operating system, a print execution instruction including a file and a first print setting from the application, and generates print data; an application management part that sends a printing instruction to the application; an extended interface part other than an interface part defined by the operating system; and a print setting storing part that stores a second print setting that is input from the application management part via the extended interface part. The print data generation part changes a print setting to be used to generate the print data from the first print setting to the second print setting.
Abstract:
An information processing device for controlling an output device capable of communication, the information processing device includes: circuitry configured to: receive an output setting of the output device including a combination of set values for a plurality of setting items; record, in response to determination of the output setting, the determined output setting including the combination of the set values for the setting items in a storage area; and present one or more output settings acquired from the storage area as a candidate to be reused.
Abstract:
A computer-readable recording medium on which first and second programs are recorded for causing a data processing apparatus to perform a data processing method that includes a) accepting, by the first program, a first printing setting condition by using a base program, b) accepting, by the first program, a second printing setting condition from an application without using the base program, c) outputting, by the first program, the second printing setting condition to a third program that can process printing data, d) accepting, by the second program, the second printing setting condition from the third program when converting document data from the application into the printing data, and e) converting, by the second program, the document data into the printing data based on at least one of the first printing setting condition accepted by the first program and the second printing setting condition accepted by the second program.
Abstract:
An information distribution system includes a reception unit to receive first data from an application; plug-ins respectively corresponding to types of the devices; a determination unit to determine, for each of one or more devices specified by one or more pieces of selected address specification information, whether the first data relates to the first data which is a conversion source of one or more pieces of second data having been transmitted; and a distribution unit to transmit, to the devices using the plug-ins, the one or more pieces of second data each obtained by conversion into a data format specified by the data format information a and information for identifying whether the first data which is a conversion source of the one or more pieces of second data relates to the first data which is the conversion source of the one or more pieces of second data having been transmitted.
Abstract:
An information processing apparatus, output system, information processing method, and an information processing program stored in a non-transitory recording medium, each of which controls interaction between an upper-level program and a lower-level program, by providing the functions of: storing output processing information relating to output processing being performed or to be performed on output data, in association with output data identification information; and sending the output processing information associated with the output data identification information to the upper-level program, in response to the output data identification information received from the upper-level program.
Abstract:
An information processing apparatus includes an operation receiving unit for receiving an operation; a setting receiving unit for displaying a setting condition for printing or transmission and receiving a change to the setting condition, after the operation receiving unit receives an instruction to start printing or transmitting; and a storage unit in which the setting condition is stored by the setting receiving unit via an operating system by using, as a key, identification information acquired by the setting receiving unit, the identification information identifying a printing or transmission process and being generated by the operating system according to the instruction to start printing or transmitting. An image processing unit acquires the identification information from the operating system, and reads, from the storage unit, the setting condition using the identification information as a key, and converts document data into print data of a printing device based on the setting condition.
Abstract:
A print control method for an information processing apparatus connected to an image forming apparatus via a network, includes acquiring print data and print settings corresponding to the print data from one or more applications; determining whether a process related to a scaling process is included in the print settings; comparing, when determining that the process related to a scaling process is included in the print settings, a processing capacity of the image forming apparatus with a processing capacity of the information processing apparatus; and determining whether the process related to the scaling process is to be performed by the image forming apparatus or by the information processing apparatus based on the comparison result.
Abstract:
An information processing apparatus for executing a printer driver that requests an image processing apparatus to perform image processing, the information processing apparatus including a processor, in communication with a memory, executing a process including executing, by a plurality of process executors, a process in response to a request from the printer driver, the process corresponding to at least one extended function to be executed on print data; storing, in a storage area, process information relating to the plurality of process executors; accepting a request for a printing process; acquiring, by the printer driver, the process information from the storage area, upon accepting the request for the printing process; and requesting, by the printer driver, at least one of the plurality of process executors to execute the process on the print data, based on the acquired process information.
Abstract:
An information processing device including: a generation unit that generates a first drawing page on which print data created by an application is drawn and a second drawing page on which drawing data designated to be added onto the print data is drawn; a transmitting unit that sends the second drawing page subsequent to the first drawing page; a receiving unit that receives a command to start each of the first and the second drawing pages and a command to end each of the first and the second drawing pages; and an output control unit that outputs in a manner that the second drawing page is added onto the first drawing page by not executing the command to end the first drawing page and the command to start the second drawing page.
Abstract:
A computer device for data redaction application, the device includes a communication interface configured to communicate with a data processing platform; a memory unit configured to store metadata comprising redaction information received from the data processing platform and document data; a preview generator configured to generate from the metadata and the document data a preview image indicating redactions to be applied to the document; a display controller configured to transmit the preview image to a display; and a metadata modification unit configured to modify the redaction information in response to a user action and to cause the preview generator to generate a modified preview image.
