Abstract:
An image forming system includes a login management unit, a job execution unit, a log management unit, and a mode accepting unit. The login management unit is configured to manage login of a user. The job execution unit is configured to execute a job after the user has logged in. The log management unit is configured to manage a job log of the job. The mode accepting unit is configured to accept a specification of a mode to store the job log. Acceptable modes where the mode accepting unit accepts a specification include a mode where the login management unit does not permit login if the log management unit determines that there is no free space to store the job log.
Abstract:
An image forming apparatus includes a detection portion that detects an earthquake, a plurality of job execution portions that each execute a job, an output portion that outputs information, and a control portion that, upon the detection portion detecting the occurrence of an earthquake, switches a mode of the image forming apparatus to an emergency mode, after a lapse of a prescribed wait time since the switching to the emergency mode, executes a self-diagnosis process for checking whether or not the job execution portions operate properly, and based on a result thereof, makes an output portion output information indicating an executable job and a non-executable job.
Abstract:
An image forming apparatus transmits a database to an external server. The image forming apparatus includes a storage section, a replication section, an encipherment section, a transmission section, a generation section, and an acquisition section. The storage section stores a database therein. The replication section generates a replica of the database stored in the storage section as a replicated database. The encipherment section enciphers the replicated database. The transmission section transmits the enciphered database to the external server each time a predetermined time period elapses. The generation section generates a deciphering key for deciphering the enciphered database. The acquisition section acquires disaster information. Upon the acquisition section acquiring the disaster information, the transmission section transmits the deciphering key to the external server.
Abstract:
An image forming system includes a log management unit and an operation state image generation unit. The log management unit manages a job log indicating a history of a job executed by an image forming apparatus, a log image indicating a history of an output image serving as an output target of the image forming apparatus for the job, and an operation log indicating a history of an operation input to an operation unit in the image forming apparatus for the job. The operation state image generation unit generates an operation state image indicating which of a plurality of operable items in the operation unit is operated in an operation included in the operation log.
