Abstract: In an image processing apparatus, a data handling unit (a) estimates a size of the intermediate data on the basis of the image data, and (b) selects one of a first rendering mode and a second rendering mode on the basis of a size of the image data and the estimated size of the intermediate data. In the first rendering mode, the data handling unit makes a copy of the image data and stores the copy in the storage device and causes a rendering unit to generate bitmap image data from the image data stored in the storage device. In the second rendering mode, the data handling unit causes the rendering unit to generate the bitmap image data from the image data stored in the removable drive.

Abstract: Provided is an image forming system capable of dead/alive monitoring without adding a special apparatus.An information-transmitting unit of an image forming apparatus transmits management information. A management-information-acquiring unit of a front-end server acquires the management information from the image forming apparatus. An analyzing unit of a back-end server analyzes the management information acquired by the management-information-acquiring unit. An interval-instructing unit of the front-end server, at specified time intervals accumulates instructions for the analyzing unit. The dead/alive-monitoring unit counts the number of messages not acquired by the analyzing unit, and when the number of messages is equal to or greater than a specified threshold value, determines the analyzing unit is not operating.

Abstract: In a license management server, a license management DB stores information about a license for performing remote maintenance on an image forming apparatus installed in an end customer site. A group management DB stores information about a group to which the image forming apparatus belongs. A table defines and describes the number of image forming apparatuses belonging to the group and a content of the license to be granted to the group so that the content of the license becomes advantageous to a user as the number of image forming apparatuses increases. The user registers the image forming apparatuses into the group. A group management unit counts the number of image forming apparatuses belonging to the group. A license management unit adjusts the content of the license on the basis of the number of image forming apparatuses counted.

Abstract: A license management server manages a license to perform a service of remote maintenance related to one or more image forming apparatuses installed in a customer's site. The maintenance server includes a maintenance unit and a history management unit. If the license management server notified of expiration of an expiration date of the license defined by a contract, the maintenance unit stores history information acquired from the one or more image forming apparatuses corresponding to the expired license into a storage unit, and stops the service. If the license management server notified of grant of the license by a re-contract, the history management unit obtains the history information about the one or more image forming apparatuses corresponding to the granted license from the storage unit, and passes the obtained history information to the maintenance unit. By using the passed history information, the maintenance unit resumes the service.
