Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes a controller capable of generating occurrence of an event to be audited, as log information; a storage that stores the log information; an outputter that reads and outputs the log information stored in the storage in response to an acquisition request for the log information by an information processing apparatus; and an adder that adds, to the log information, identification information indicating that the log information has been stored in the information processing apparatus. The controller stores the log information added with the identification information in the storage. In a case where a storage amount of the log information stored in the storage has reached an upper limit when newly storing log information generated in association with occurrence of the event, the controller deletes the log information added with the identification information from the storage, and stores the generated log information.
Abstract: A printing system controls a printing member to perform printing based on a print job for which a charged fee is already settled. The printing system receives a first instruction to suspend the printing started by the printing member and suspends the printing started by the printing member in response to reception of the first instruction. The printing system receives a second instruction as to a post suspending process to be executed after the printing is suspended. The printing system performs one of a post fee-settlement process and a restart process, as the post suspending process. The post fee-settlement process is related to provision of a benefit corresponding to refunding at least part of the charged fee. The restart process is to restart the suspended printing to complete the print job after a reason that the first instruction is made is resolved.

Abstract: A first dot pattern printed according to a result of quantization performed on a multi-valued grayscale value by using a first threshold matrix and a second dot pattern printed according to a result of quantization performed on multi-valued grayscale value by using a second threshold matrix are printed on a print medium in an overlapping manner. In order to generate the threshold matrices, a first initial pattern being a dot pattern corresponding to a first grayscale value and a second initial pattern being a dot pattern corresponding to a second grayscale value lower than the first grayscale value are generated for pixel regions of the first and second threshold matrices. Then, thresholds of the first and second threshold matrices are set such that dot patterns having continuity with the first and second initial patterns are obtained at grayscale values between the first and second grayscale values.
