Abstract: An image processing apparatus recognizes a character string included in image data generated by a reading unit, displays the recognized character string, receives a selection, performed by a user, of the displayed character string. The image processing apparatus thereafter determines, as a storage destination for the image data, a folder named with the character string that is based on the received selection and thereby stores the image data in the determined storage destination. Additionally, the image processing apparatus, in response to a reading instruction being issued once, reads images of a plurality of documents to generate image data, receives a plurality of times selection, performed by the user, of the displayed character string, and determines, as storage destinations, a plurality of folders named with the respective character strings that are based on the selection received a plurality of times.

Abstract: A printing system is disclosed. The printing system includes a printing unit, a sheet processing unit, and a control unit. The sheet processing unit performs a designated sheet process for the printed sheet using a die that is manually selected by a user and attached to the sheet processing unit. When the die for performing the designated sheet process is not attached to the sheet processing unit, it is determined, before the printing unit starts printing the image on a first sheet on which the printing unit prints the image firstly among sheets on which the designated sheet process is to be performed, not to perform the designated sheet process for the sheets on which the designated sheet process is to be performed. The printing unit starts printing the image on the sheets on which the designated sheet process is to be performed after the determination.

Abstract: A print control method that is capable of canceling the unprintable state without troubling a user. An image forming apparatus performs a print process according to print data transmitted from an information processing apparatus by the print control method. An anomaly detection step detects anomaly in a print related process, which is relevant to the print process, under execution by the information processing apparatus. A state shifting step stops the print process under execution by the image forming apparatus, and makes the image forming apparatus shift to a printable state for preparing a new print process that is different from the print process that the image forming apparatus is executing when anomaly is detected in the print related process. A reboot step reboots the information processing apparatus in response to the shift of the image forming apparatus to the printable state.
