Abstract:
Provided is a mobile terminal including a battery residual quantity detecting part that is configured to detect a battery residual quantity of the battery, and a remote control operation processing part that is configured to cause the data conversion part to create monochrome print data by converting the color print data into the monochrome data when it is determined that transmission of the color print data cannot successfully be completed based on the battery residual quantity detected by the battery residual quantity detecting part and data volume of the color print data, and to transmit the created monochrome print data to the image forming apparatus.
Abstract:
In a consumables ordering system, an image forming apparatus notifies a management system about a consumable whose remaining quantity is under a specific threshold. When a consumable whose remaining quantity is under the threshold is autonomously notified from the image forming apparatus, the management system checks the consumable whose remaining quantity is under the threshold in a specific image forming apparatus other than an autonomously notifying apparatus (S122), and notifies the autonomously notifying apparatus about the consumable autonomously notified from the autonomously notifying apparatus, and ordering information as information necessary for placing an order for the consumable checked in S122 (S129). The autonomously notifying apparatus displays the ordering information notified from the management system, and places an order for the consumable for which the ordering information is displayed in response to an instruction.
Abstract:
Provided is a mobile terminal device that can prevent print data from being erased due to a battery exhaustion. This mobile terminal device have a battery as a power source, constructs print data (PD) from print target data stored in a volatile storage part to transmit to an image forming apparatus (IFA), and causes the IFA to execute printing of the PD. The mobile terminal device includes a non-volatile storage part, a battery residual amount detection part configured to detect a residual amount of the battery, and a print allowance/disallowance determination part configured to store, pursuant to a determination thereof, the PD in the non-volatile storage prior to a transmission of the print data based on the residual amount of the battery detected by the battery residual amount detection part, that no power required for transmitting the PD is ensured.
