    Abstract: A printing system includes a data processing device and an image forming apparatus. The data processing device processes print data. The data processing device includes a data receiving unit, a data managing unit, a data transmitting unit, and a preview image generating unit. The preview image generating unit generates a preview image based on print data. When the data receiving unit receives print data of a plurality of pages, the preview image generating unit automatically generates the preview image of a part of pages among the plurality of pages. The data managing unit manages the preview image generated by the preview image generating unit. When the data managing unit manages the preview image of a page requested from the image forming apparatus, the data transmitting unit transmits the preview image managed by the data managing unit to the image forming apparatus.

    Abstract: An information-processing system includes a personal computer, a management server, and one or more image forming apparatuses. The management server includes an emulator management unit and one or more emulators, and an estimated amount calculating unit. The estimated amount calculating unit calculates an estimated amount of charging when the print job is executed using the total count of pages, the print paper sheet size for each page, and the color/monochrome type for each page of the document to be printed by the print job determined by the emulator selected by the emulator management unit. Each of the one or more image forming apparatuses includes an estimated amount display. The estimated amount display obtains the estimated amount of charging from the management server when the print job is executed, so as to present the estimated amount of charging to the user via the display.

    Abstract: An output system includes an output section, a fee calculation section, and a payment code notification section. The output section outputs an image and/or a document. The fee calculation section calculates a fee necessary for outputting the image and/or the document in accordance with a specific standard. The payment code notification section notifies a payment code issued by an online payment service for the fee calculated by the fee calculation section. The output section outputs the image and/or the document when the fee has been paid via the online payment service using the payment code notified by the payment code notification section.

    Abstract: A job executing system includes an image forming apparatus, a user terminal, a computer, and a bank account management system. The online payment service transmits a payment completion notification of a charge and a payment code to the computer with the computer identifier made to correspond to the payment code in first payment code management information. When the computer receives the payment completion notification, the computer transmits the payment completion notification of the charge for the job with the job identifier made to correspond to the payment code in the second payment code management information to the image forming apparatus, the image forming apparatus having the image forming apparatus identifier made to correspond to the payment code in the second payment code management information. When the image forming apparatus receives the payment completion notification, the image forming apparatus executes the job with the job identifier.

    Abstract: A program exchange system includes an exchange information managing server and a program exchange server. The exchange information managing server manages exchange information, the exchange information indicating a necessity to exchange at least one of a firmware program and an application program, corresponding to a combination of a version of the firmware program on an image forming apparatus and a version of the application program on the image forming apparatus. The program exchange server exchanges the program on the target image forming apparatus. The program exchange server determines the necessity to exchange the program on the target image forming apparatus based on the combination of the version of the firmware program on the target image forming apparatus and the version of the application program on the target image forming apparatus, and the exchange information managed by the exchange information managing server.
