Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a processor configured to: acquire work instruction information stored in a specific folder and target information that is a target of image formation and that corresponds to the work instruction information; change an order of the acquired work instruction information such that the target information corresponding to the work instruction information are subjected to the image formation in a predetermined order; and perform a process of sequentially storing the work instruction information the order of which is changed in a target folder from which an image forming apparatus takes information that is the target of the image formation.

Abstract: A converting apparatus includes a converter, an extractor, and a generating unit. The converter converts print data described in a first description language into print data described in a second description language. The extractor extracts command information related to an imposition process from the print data described in the first description language. The generating unit analyzes the command information extracted by the extractor so as to generate information for specifying print-layout definition information to be used from multiple pieces of print-layout definition information stored in a printer that is to execute a printing process. The multiple pieces of print-layout definition information have different imposition processes defined therein.

Abstract: An image information converting apparatus according to one embodiment includes a converting unit, a splitting unit and an adding unit. The converting unit converts first image information described in a first language into second image information described in a second language, the second language being different from the first language. The splitting unit splits the first image information into a plurality of split image files so as to each have a data size satisfying a restriction in image processing performed by the second image forming apparatus. The adding unit adds first additional information to each of the split image files. The first additional information indicates whether or not to add an image formation unit mark. The image formation unit mark indicates boundaries between batches of image formation units corresponding to images to be formed on a plurality of pages.

Abstract: A print control apparatus includes: a setting unit that sets a determination condition for adding authentication information necessary for performing print processing based on received print data; a determination unit that determines whether or not the received print data matches the determination condition set by the setting unit; and an adding unit that, if it is determined by the determination unit that the print data matches the determination condition, adds the authentication information to the print data.

Abstract: A print job information managing device of the present invention has: an authentication request instruction adding section that adds, to a print job, an authentication request instruction that expresses whether or not authentication is needed at a time of printing; a transmitting section that transmits the print job to a printer; and a notification section that, when the authentication request instruction has been added to the print job transmitted by the transmitting section, notifies a printing recipient that the print job has been transmitted.

Abstract: An image forming system includes an information management unit, a determining unit, and at least one image forming unit. The information management unit stores and manages print information. The determining unit determines whether or not execution of a printing process regarding the print information is allowed. Each image forming unit prints and outputs print information acquired from the information management unit on a recording medium in accordance with a determination result of the determining unit. The determining unit includes a first authenticating unit and a second authenticating unit. The first authenticating unit performs authentication to determine whether or not execution of processing before printing and outputting the print information on a recording medium is allowed.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes: a print command receiving unit that receives print command information indicating a print command; an authentication determination unit that determines whether or not the print command information received by the print command receiving unit includes authentication requirement information indicating that authentication is required upon print processing based on the print command; a determination unit that, when the authentication determination unit has determined that the print command information includes the authentication requirement information, determines whether or not an originator of the print command information and a user who performs the print processing based on the print command information are different; and a notification unit that, when the determination unit has determined that the originator of the print command information and the user who performs the print processing are different, notifies the user who performs the print processing of presence of the

Abstract: An image forming system includes an information management unit, at least one image forming unit, an authenticating unit, a determining unit, an adding unit, a notifying unit, and a controller. The information management unit stores and manages print information. Each image forming unit forms an image on a recording medium in accordance with the print information. The authenticating unit authenticates a recipient of an output result of the image forming unit. The determining unit determines whether or not the print information requires authentication. The adding unit adds authentication information about the recipient to the print information when the print information requires authentication. The notifying unit notifies the recipient of information regarding the print information with the authentication information added. The controller controls the information management unit to transmit the print information to the image forming unit to form an image when the recipient has been successfully authenticated.

Abstract: A computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer to execute a process for creating a data, the process includes: receiving first data described in a print language format for printing; converting a part of the first data, which corresponds to an electronic document format for display, received in the receiving into second data described in the electronic document format; and adding third data, which does not correspond to the electronic document format, of the first data received in the receiving to the second data.
