Abstract: A discharge control apparatus includes a storage control unit, and a correction value update unit. The storage control unit is configured to store, in a storage unit, a correction value for correcting a value related to discharge performed by a liquid discharge unit configured to discharge liquid to a discharge target, in association with a type of the discharge target. The correction value update unit is configured to update, via the storage control unit, the correction value stored in the storage unit, based on input received by an input receiving unit configured to receive the input from a user. The correction value update unit is configured to perform update with as identical correction value for a plurality of different types of discharge targets.

Abstract: An electronic apparatus includes a memory and circuitry. The memory stores a plurality of programs, and program registration information including identification information of the plurality of programs each of which is permitted to be executed in the electronic apparatus. The circuitry executes a first program of the plurality of programs stored in the memory. The circuitry executes a second program according to a determination that the identification information of the program registration information includes identification information of the second program stored in an external memory connectable to the electronic apparatus. The circuitry causes the first program and the second program, which are executed, to be communicable with each other to newly add a function to the electronic apparatus.

Abstract: A disclosed image forming apparatus accepts a selecting operation of selecting a button displayed on a touch panel and performs a process corresponding to the selected button. The image forming apparatus includes a moving region display unit displaying a region mark to be selected on the touch panel and moving the region mark as time passes and a button specifying unit specifying one or more buttons based on positional information indicating a position of the region mark and positional information indicating a pressed position of the touch panel.

Abstract: Disclosed is a communication apparatus connected via a network to an external controller capable of providing a printing optional function and one or more image forming apparatuses. The communication apparatus may include a receiving unit configured to receive a print request and image data from the external controller, a distributed printing management unit configured to perform control to distribute the image data received by the receiving unit from the external controller to the image forming apparatuses to print the distributed image data, and a reporting unit configured to send to the external controller a report on information associated with the printing of the image forming apparatuses. In the communication apparatus, the receiving unit receives the image data generated by the external controller based on the information associated with the printing of the image forming apparatuses.
