Abstract:
A printing setting apparatus for generating printing setting information described in one data format included in plural types of data formats and submitting a printing job to an image forming apparatus capable of executing a printing job based on printing setting information described in said plural types of data formats, comprising: an operation acceptor for accepting a user's operation for input; a generator for making printing setting based on control information received by said operation acceptor and generating printing setting information described in said one data format based on said printing setting; a converter for converting said printing setting information described in said one data format into printing setting information described in another data format included in said plural types of data formats; and an output part for outputting said printing setting information which is generated by said converter and described in said another data format.
Abstract:
An image forming apparatus capable of exchanging various types of information with at least one image forming apparatus includes a nonvolatile storage unit capable of higher-speed access processing than a hard disk drive of the image forming apparatus and capable of storing amount-of-use information regarding an amount of use of the image forming apparatus by each user, and a management unit configured to manage usage of the image forming apparatus by a user, by using the amount-of-use information stored in the storage unit. On a predetermined condition, the management unit shifts specific amount-of-use information to a shift destination device that is another image forming apparatus different from the image forming apparatus, the specific amount-of-use information being amount-of-use information about a specific user out of a plurality of pieces of amount-of-use information about each of a plurality of users stored in the storage unit.
Abstract:
An image processing system includes: an image processing apparatus; an instruction server configured to transmit instruction information to the image processing apparatus via a router having a firewall function; and a session server configured to set up a session between the image processing apparatus and the instruction server. The image processing apparatus is configured to switch, in a case where the state of the image processing apparatus is a power saving state when a time specified by a transmission interval elapses from transmission of a connection confirmation packet for the session with the instruction server, to a state in which at least the connection confirmation packet can be transmitted.
Abstract:
An image forming system includes: an image forming apparatus; an imaging portion that performs imaging of a belonging of a user, the user being adjacent to the image forming apparatus; a belonging analyzer that identifies the belonging by performing analysis on an image obtained by the imaging portion; a memory that stores a user assistance lookup table including the following pieces of information associated one another in advance: a belonging of a user; a user assistance action; and a target member of the image forming apparatus, the target member to be affected by the user assistance action; a searcher that retrieves a user assistance action and target member both associated with the identified belonging by searching the user assistance lookup table for a record associated with the identified belonging; and a hardware processor that makes the image forming apparatus take the user assistance action by the target member.
Abstract:
An image forming apparatus having a function to communicate with a terminal is provided. The image forming apparatus includes a receiver configured to receive, from the terminal, a print command to print a rasterized image having been stored; a user interface configured to receive, from a user, an execution command to print the rasterized image after the receiver receives the print command; and a printer configured to print the rasterized image after the user interface receives the execution command.
Abstract:
An image transmission apparatus which transmits image data comprises an operation part displaying an operation screen and receiving a user operation on the operation screen and a processor for controlling a display content in the operation screen. The operation screen has a destination specifying area used for displaying a plurality of options which are candidates of destinations of the image data and receiving a specifying operation for specifying the destinations by using the plurality of options and a number display area used for displaying the number of the destinations specified by the specifying operation. The processor displays a destination list area used for listing the destinations specified by the specifying operation, together with the destination specifying area and the number display area, in the operation screen under the condition that a specific operation which is an operation on the number display area is received.
