  • Publication number: 20190049886
    Abstract: A video count value is acquired per unit area predetermined in a direction in which a recording medium is conveyed, based on recording target image data. When an image has been formed on an area of the recording medium from which the video count value has been acquired, control is performed by using the acquired video count value so that a developing unit is replenished with an amount of toner corresponding to the video count value acquired from the area.

  • Publication number: 20180152577
    Abstract: Upon occurrence of an interruption factor before image data for one page of a target document has been stored in a storage device, a printing apparatus performs control to store specific data in a storage area of the storage device in which the remaining image data of the target document is to be stored. In a case where an interruption factor occurs before image data for one page of the target document has been stored in the storage device, the printing apparatus performs printing based on the image data of the target document and the specific data stored in the storage device.

  • Patent number: 9386082
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus configured to notify information on processing in a notification method different depending on whether the processing to be executed by a processing unit is one executed in response to a request from a web application accessed by the apparatus. The information processing apparatus registers identification information for the web application accessed by the apparatus, and determines whether a job to be executed by the apparatus is one requested by a web application corresponding to any of registered identification information. When it is determined that the job is one requested by a web application corresponding to any of the registered identification information, the progress of the job is displayed in detail. When it is determined that the job is not one requested by a web application corresponding to any of the registered identification information, the progress of the job is briefly displayed or is not displayed.
