Abstract:
An image processing apparatus is disclosed. The image processing apparatus includes plural image outputting filters disposed corresponding to plural image outputting devices, a preview image filter which forms a preview image of an image to be output from each of the plural image outputting filters, a setting interface section which interfaces settings for outputting the preview image to be output from the preview image filter with settings for outputting the image to be output from each of the plural image outputting filters, and a processing order control section which controls executing processes in the image outputting filter corresponding to the preview image in the plural image outputting filters after receiving a report of completion of outputting the preview image from the preview image filter. An additional image outputting filter can be installed in the image processing apparatus and an existing image outputting filter can be uninstalled from the image processing apparatus.
Abstract:
An image forming apparatus includes a plurality of functions related to an image forming process. The image forming apparatus includes a presentation layer, a logic layer, and a device layer. The presentation layer manages information received from a user and output for the user. Based on information received from the user in the presentation layer, the logic layer specifies a specific function from among the functions. The device layer controls the functions, and performs the specific function specified by the logic layer.
Abstract:
A printing control system includes a transmission part configured to transmit data from an information terminal to an image processor; an analysis part configured to analyze the data received from the information terminal; a format determining part configured to determine the data format of the received data based on the analysis result of the analysis part; a conversion requesting part configured to, in response to the format determining part determining that the data format of the received data is convertible into print data printable in the image processor, transmit the received data to a data converter and request the data converter to convert the received data into the print data; and a printing control part configured to print the print data returned from the data converter in response to the request of the conversion requesting part.
Abstract:
An electronic device includes a controller coupled to a device via a signal line. The controller includes an outputter configured to output a predetermined signal to the device by using the signal line, when a predetermined abnormality occurs at the controller; and a power controller configured to control an operation of cutting off power supplied to the device, after a predetermined assurance time has passed from when the predetermined signal has been output.
Abstract:
A job management apparatus is connected via an external network to a job control apparatus in a first network and an information processing apparatus in a second network that is different from the first network. The job control apparatus is configured to send a job to an execution apparatus that is in the first network and executes the job. The job management apparatus includes a receiving unit configured to receive jobs from the information processing apparatus; and a management unit configured to temporarily store the received jobs in a storage area in association with execution areas where the jobs are to be executed and to send, to the job control apparatus, one or more of the jobs associated with an execution area corresponding to an installation area where the job control apparatus is installed in response to a request from the job control apparatus.
Abstract:
According to an embodiment, an information processing apparatus includes: an acquiring unit that acquires a job list in which a job, authorization information expressing authorization over a process of a job, and level of priority of the job are associated with one another; and an output unit that outputs preferentially a job with high level of the priority over a job with low level of the priority.
