Abstract: An image forming apparatus manages whether or not job information is displayed for each stored print job, displays notification information for notifying a user that the print job is stored if there is a print job of which the job information has not been displayed, and does not display the notification information if there is no print job of which the job information has not been displayed.
Abstract: An object is to print a high quality image with resistance to print misalignment. To this end, the image processing apparatus generates quantized data for printing a first dot pattern and a second dot pattern in an overlapping manner. The first dot pattern and the second dot pattern are lattice patterns varying in a combination of two basis vectors. In a combined dot pattern obtained by combining the first and second dot patterns, there is a neighboring dot in which a dot in the first dot pattern and a dot in the second dot pattern are arranged at an interval smaller than a lattice spacing. The neighboring dot includes multiple neighboring dots varying in an approach direction.

An image processing device according to one embodiment includes: an image processing unit configured to generate smoothing image data obtained by applying smoothing to image data, and save, as an image file, non-smoothing image data in which smoothing is not applied to the image data when a difference between the non-smoothing image data and the smoothing image data is equal to or greater than a threshold value, and the smoothing image data when the difference is smaller than the threshold value; and a storage unit configured to save the image file.
Abstract: An image processing device reads a plurality of documents selectively attached with a tag, and processes the read document images with a tag. The image processing device includes a tag information extractor that extracts tag information about a tag from the document images with a tag, and an image processor that separately generates, based on the tag information, document images without a tag in which a tag is removed from the document images with a tag, and a tag information image in which the tag information about the document images without a tag is written.
Abstract: A method for modifying a printable file includes receiving the printable file; identifying an element representing one or more text characters in the printable file; tagging the element; and incorporating metadata in the printable file, wherein the metadata is associated in the printable file with the tagged element and includes the one or more text characters. A method for using a printable file including at least one tagged graphics object that represents one or more characters and associated metadata includes receiving the printable file; and performing an activity using the printable file and the metadata within the printable file.
Abstract: The present disclosure helps prevent scan image data obtained by bulk reading of a plurality of documents from being divided at a position unintended by a user. An apparatus according to the present disclosure can display, on a screen, a list of a plurality of page images obtained by reading a plurality of documents in bulk, display, on the screen where the list of the plurality of page images is displayed, one or more page images similar to a page image specified by a user as one or more sectioning position candidates in a manner discriminable from other page images of the plurality of page images, and correct the one or more sectioning position candidates based on a correction instruction from the user.
Abstract: A printing system includes processing circuitry. The processing circuitry acquires print data of a plurality of pages and extracts comparison data from the print data for each page. The processing circuitry, from first image data read from a printed material on which the print data is printed, acquires second image data at a position corresponding to the comparison data, for each page of the printed material. The processing circuitry outputs a comparison result of the comparison data and the read image data for each page.
Abstract: An image reading apparatus executes a calibration processing of calibrating a reading unit when a medium detection sensor detects that a medium is present. The image reading apparatus executes the calibration processing each time a first time-period elapses in a state where the medium detection sensor detects that the medium is present after the calibration processing. When a start instruction of reading the medium is received, the image reading apparatus starts transport of the medium and causes the reading unit to read the medium on a basis of calibration information of a last calibration processing.
Abstract: A display system includes a step-image display unit, a delivery-date-image display unit, and a resource-information display unit. The step-image display unit displays, for each print order, a step image in which multiple steps that each execute a process using a resource assigned in advance are arranged on a time axis, the step image illustrating a printed material generating step. The delivery-date-image display unit displays an image illustrating a delivery date of each print order at a corresponding position on the time axis. The resource-information display unit displays information on another resource that is different from the resource assigned in advance to each of the steps and that is usable in each of the steps.
Abstract: An information processing method is configured for printing a first image by using a flatbed printer including a mounting table for mounting a first medium and a printing device for printing the first image on the first medium. The information processing method includes generating a second image indicating a position as a reference to mount the first medium on the mounting table, causing the printing device to print the second image on a second medium mounted on the mounting table, and causing the printing device to print the first image on the first medium mounted on the second medium having the printed second image.
Abstract: An information product or item, such as a for sale sign, can be configured with contact information and/or elements that link the information product to a networked system and related services (with the product being called a for information product or FIP in the description). These services can make available applications such as phone and web application that can be helpful in providing an additional mechanism/electronic media as it relates to the FIP and/or any FIP related product/object/item. These services may aid someone to whom the FIP belongs in fielding, FIP related, viewer inquires while providing the FIP viewer with more options, upon making requests to said system services. The FIP may make available linked application system services to viewers of the FIP, which may belong to someone who does not know how to link such services in other ways.
