Abstract: [Problem] To enable easily using transaction information printed on receipts through an external device. [Solution] A control server 15 that can communicate with a printer 12 that produces receipts printed with transaction information related to a transaction, has a plurality of APIs registered thereon, and has: a control server storage unit 42 that stores a transaction information manager database 421; and a control server control unit 40 that receives transaction information from the printer 12, stores the received transaction information in the transaction information manager database 421, and when response request information requesting a response and including API call information specifying an API is received from a management device 17, executes a process through the API specified by the API call information based on the transaction information stored in the transaction information manager database 421, and sends information indicating the process result to the management device 17.

Abstract: A control server storage unit of a control server relationally stores: commercial transaction information and recording-device identification information identifying a recording device that produces a receipt; a store ID identifying a store; the serial number of the recording device in the store, and a sales-counter attribute identifying an attribute of a checkout counter in the store. In response to a request from a remote management device, a control server control unit of the control server returns sales-related information based on transaction information related to the store ID, transaction information related to the serial number, or transaction information related to a combination of the store ID and sales-counter attribute.

Abstract: A recording device in a transaction processing system extracts extraction information that is used in a process executed by a control server to provide a service from transaction information based on a transaction process, and outputs a code containing a URL of the control server to which extraction information and identification information are added. When accessed by a terminal reading the code, the control server acquires and stores the extraction information and uniform identification information added to the URL, and uses the stored extraction information to execute a process providing a service.

Abstract: A print control system 1 includes a slave printer 7 with a print unit 61 that prints; a master printer 12 that communicates with the slave printer 7 by a local area network LN and has a print unit 18 that prints; and a control server 10 that connects to the master printer 12 through a network GN, and sends to the master printer 12 configuration control data containing model information identifying the model of a slave printer 7 to cause the slave printer 7 to execute a configuration process.

Abstract: A print control system includes one or more first printers each having a print unit that can print on print media, a second printer that communicates with the first printers via a first network and has a print unit that can print on print media, and a print control server that connects to the second printer through a second network. The control print server sends, to the second printer, configuration control data containing attribute information that can be used to identify one of the first printers. The second printer forwards the configuration control data to the identified first printer and the identified first printer executes a configuration process in response to the configuration control data.

Abstract: A print control system 1 has a control server 10 that transmits print data, and a printer 12 that communicates with the control server 10 through an asynchronous duplex communication path, receives print data sent by the control server 10 through the communication path, and prints based on the received data.

Abstract: A POS terminal 8 in a transaction system 1 transmits control data instructing executing a transaction-related process during a transaction; a recording device 12 receives the control data, executes a process based on the control data, transmits transaction information based on the control data and transaction identification information identifying the transaction information, and outputs a 2D code representing the transaction identification information; a terminal 14 reads the transaction identification information from the 2D code output by the recording device 12, and transmits the transaction identification information that was read and a customer ID, which is identification information to store; and a control server 10 receives the transaction information and transaction identification information from the recording device 12, receives the transaction identification information and customer ID from the terminal 14, and relationally stores the transaction information and customer ID when both of the receiv

Abstract: A printing system 1 has a terminal 11 and a printer 10. The terminal 11 has a terminal control unit 30 that sends an authentication request, and after authentication succeeds based on the authentication request, sends a request for a log file LF (data including a log). The printer 10 has a print unit 21 that prints; a second communication interface 24 that communicates with the terminal 11; and a control unit 20 that performs authentication based on an authentication request by a function of SSH server software SW1, and when a log file request is received from the terminal 11 after authentication based on the authentication request succeeds, sends a log file LF related to the print unit 21.

Abstract: Both light stimulation of a specimen at a high intensity and detailed fluorescence observation at a low intensity are realized by using a single laser light source. Provided is a laser scanning microscope apparatus (1) including a laser light source (11) that generates laser light; output-power control portion (13) that can set an output power of the laser light source (11) by changing the output power in a step-wise manner; an AOTF (15) that can adjust a light level of the laser light emitted from the laser light source (11) in a step-wise manner at a resolution that is finer than a resolution at which the output-power control portion (13) changes the output power of the laser light source (11); and an observation device (17) that scans the laser light whose light level has been adjusted by the AOTF (15) on a specimen and that detects fluorescence generated at the specimen.
