    摘要: A content management system manages content identification information of content data corresponding to a content provided through a virtual space and user identification information of a user in association with each other, in response to the user's instruction using a terminal for projecting an expression related to the virtual space into the user's field of view in order to provide the virtual space to the user, receives a request using the user identification information, transmits the content data corresponding to the content identification information, which is managed in association with the user identification information included in the request, to a request source of the request, and transmits a printing request for the content data to the printing system. The printing system controls printing of the content data based on the printing request.

    摘要: A management server stores box data received from an image forming apparatus as an export side, generates box configuration data that indicates the box data, upon receiving an import request of the box data from an image forming apparatus as an import side, transmits the box configuration data, and transmits the box data after the transmission of the box configuration data. The image forming apparatus as the import side transmits the import request, receives and saves the box configuration data and thereby registers the box configuration data to the box function, and receives and saves the box data after the receipt and the saving of the box configuration data. The image forming apparatus as the import side displays a list of the box data regardless of whether the box data has been received or not after registering the box configuration data.

    摘要: A server of a printing system includes a print instruction acquisition unit configured to acquire a print instruction indicated by a voice that is a print instruction of a content included in a content group from a voice intermediation device, a selection unit configured to select a content to be printed from the content group according to the print instruction, and a transmitter configured to transmit print data for printing the selected content to the printing device. The selection unit totalizes a printing count of each content included in the content group for a plurality of users, and selects the content to be printed from the content group based on the totalized printing count. The selection unit may select the content to be printed from the content group based on an attribute applicable to a user. The printing device receives the print data and performs printing according to the print data.

    摘要: An image forming system includes an image forming apparatus includes an operation panel, the image forming apparatus forming an image based on image data; and a user terminal having a printer driver capable of configuring preliminary setting information pertaining to formation of the image. The user terminal is able to transmit the preliminary setting information configured by the printer driver to the image forming apparatus. When the image forming apparatus is accessed by a user after receiving the preliminary setting information, the image forming apparatus transitions to an image-data acquisition standby state to accept an operation to acquire image data, and when the image data is acquired, the image forming apparatus forms an image based on the image data by applying the preliminary setting information.

    摘要: An image forming apparatus includes: a request unit that requests, of a server, information concerning a first service and a second service which are executable by the image forming apparatus; and a control unit that controls the request to the server in a case where the request to the server by the request unit is repeated. The control unit controls the request to the server so that the request to the server is made at a frequency determined based on information indicating a contract state concerning the first service executable by the image forming apparatus.
